New Blog Sign Up Styles!

Now you have 2 new ways to sign up for the Love To Sew Boutique Blog so you won't miss any new posts!  Remember, if you only save the page in your favorites, you will have to come back once in awhile to see what's new, but if you subscribe, then you will always get my newest posting and then you won't miss out on big store news or new store arrivals and of course, big sales!

New Choice #1:  If you check your email pretty regularly, then you can use the new email subscribe that has been added on the right tool bar on this page - just put in your email address and you will be set up to receive my newest posts on this blog.  You will still also receive any special emails that I have always sent out before this too but this sign up is to receive the blog updates for quick Store News that I might not send out in an email until much later so the blog will always keep you up to date!

New Choice #2:  Great news!  I have found another way to get notifications of any new blog updates right from your web browser and you don't even have to look in your email for them!  Look for the Orange Icon called RSS Feed  - when you left click it, you will be able to subscribe to all new blog updates with a choice to be notified with an icon in your browser like Internet Explorer and FireFox.  If you use Google Chrome, like me, then you will only see a source page with lots of jibberish text about the page, but you will also see the address at the top in the main address box - in order to subscribe with Google Chrome there are a few steps but it will be easy and well worth the effort because of what you get!

1. Open a new tab and go to the Google Chrome Store and Download the Free RSS Feed Reader Extension HERE Remember, you can always choose to uninstall it if you don't want it!
2. Agree to the Permissions and Click OK to Download - it will install immediately and you will see it located in the upper right corner of your Chrome page as a small RSS Orange Icon like mine on my Blog Toolbar
3. Go back to my Blog page and left click on the RSS Orange Icon on the right side toolbar - you will still see the source page with all the jibberish writing, but that is ok
4. Look at your new little Orange RSS icon in the upper right corner of your web page:  it will have a little plus sign attached
5. Left click on the plus sign of the new RSS Feed Reader in your browser and you will see the choices of subscribing to this blog: be sure to choose the Love To Sew Boutique Blog choice and then click FOLLOW and then you will see a check mark showing that you are following the Blog
6. So now, when I write any new blogs, your little Orange icon will keep track of any new blogs and you will see a little number like #1 by it and when you click on it, you will see my blog name and you can click on it to open the blog to read the news just like that - presto!
7. Bonus: when you install this RSS Feed Reader, you can also subscribe to lots of other blogs too and then you'll see a list of blog names and all the newest blogs they have written for you to read any time!
8. In order to join other blogs, your little orange icon will light up with a + sign over the orange icon to show you that you are on a blog page that is available to join - you can ignore it or choose to join by left clicking on the plus sign and you will see the blog page name and then you can choose to Follow 
9. You can also customize your settings by left clicking on the icon and click on the little gear wheel on the left side and choose settings to suit you
10. You can also customize the view when you click on the orange icon and choose the number and it will reveal the names of the titles of the new posts so you can click on them to open them there too - very easy and useful for a quick reminder to check your newest blog entries!  Give it a try!
11. If you want to uninstall this Extension, easy too:  click on the dashed lines at the very top right corner - go down to Tools - then left click on Extensions - this shows all the extensions you have, including the RSS Feed Reader that you just installed - if you want to delete it, then click the trashcan and it will be gone!

Be sure to give these choices a try - both methods are easy and they both will allow you to get the newest updates - Now for Facebook Users:  If you are already using Facebook and you have "Liked" my page, then you will already be getting the forwarded info right to Facebook with no other things to do!

I would highly encourage all my customers to get signed up so you won't miss any news!  Remember, this is different than any emails that you already receive!  You will need you choose your method above to subscribe and you will be set!  If you have any questions on how to subscribe, then just be sure to call the Shop: 573-348-1972 for more info - looking forward to see you here soon!
