Welcome to my first blog entry created on my new Mac!
This year is wrapping up nicely here at Burning Scentsations. I was able to purchase my new computer a bit ahead of schedule, so I have more time to get it setup before I go back to my full-time job.
For those of you who may not be aware, I've recently converted over to Apple from being a die-hard Windows user. I'm now the proud owner of a new iMac. It's a breeze to work with and is really going to help me get some new features into my web site.
One of the main reasons for purchasing the new computer is to make the Internet portions of my business be less of a struggle. For those who may not be aware, keeping up a web site can be a full-time job all by itself, which left me with little time for making beads and jewelry.
So when I have a choice between spending a few hours taking pictures, cropping and sizing them, uploading them, entering descriptions for each into the database and then reviewing the web site or just plain making more shiny, pretty things, I always make more shiny, pretty things. It's just much for satisfying.
The tools available for making creative tasks simpler and faster on the Mac are just amazing. I will be able to shoot and edit my own videos for demos on various techniques and let you all get a front-row seat to how beads are created. I might even just video blog every now and then so you can see that I am an actual person and not a corporate puppet.
I should also be able to keep pictures galleries updated much more simply too thanks to iPhoto all while improving features for my readers and customers.
A complete overhaul of the web site www.LampOfLuxury.com will also be in the works in the coming weeks once I've found the web software that I'll be using.
If you'd like more information on my new computer (don't call it a PC or the Apple police will get you), check out this link HERE.
Tomorrow morning, I'll be back at the torch before heading off to work at the retail job in the afternoon for a few hours. I'll probably focus on doing some focal beads and bead sets, which I will be very happy to show you in the upcoming days.
As always, if you have any questions or want to suggest topics, please do not hesitate to contact me either through this blog or on my web site or Etsy store at:
Have a great night!
