Today was a day of playing in the snow, working on a bit of a facelift for a friend’s blog, working on my own site (the most challenging part) and now getting to share some of this with you. 

I never gave you the run down of some of the features around here and wanted to review things now. 

1. You will notice the top banner in the sidebar will rotate.  Each time you go to a new page or hit your F5 key, a new banner will show and by selecting that banner, you will be navigated to the page referenced.  You will see that you can link to Get Your Coupons, Kroger, Meijer, Want to Win Wednesday and our Sunday feature of Share Your Deals and Match-ups.  I thought that these are some of the regular features around here and most viewed, so this will allow you to always get to them even in the midst of the other various / random deals.
2. Below this box, you will note new icons for Subscriptions, Facebook, Contact and Twitter.  Feel free to check them out, subscribe so you don’t miss any deals and hang out with me on Twitter and Facebook!  I always love to interact all of the various avenues. 
3. I have added a new tab under the header for Get Your Coupons.  This has so many great places to “purchase” your coupons, load your electronic coupons and print your way to saving those nickels-n-dimes.  I hope that this becomes a page you visit often.
4. Below each posting, you will note a line of icons.  These icons are an excellent way to share the post via Facebook, Stumble Upon, Twitter, etc and you will notice that the very first icon is one that allows you to print that particular post and take it with you.  Take advantage of these icons!  They are a great way to share finds with your friends and family and the print icon is a great way to take the deal with you. 

As you may have noticed this morning, I was having serious issues with the background.  I could not stand the “reddish” color that was on here.  I felt it was heavy and just too much.  After playing around with various colors and not being satified, I decided to put my non-technical self to work to figure out how to load the background onto this new Thesis layout.  Where there’s a will, there’s a way.  Somehow or another, I put my mind to these things and always manage to figure it out.  I am going to leave this until I can design something that I will find contentment with. 

Soon, I will be posting a giveaway so one of my lucky readers can go to the circus next month!  Watch for this.

I will also be getting to work on matchups tomorrow and will be finishing up the donation shopping for the Cincysavers / Brighton Center charity event.  I will also post about that this week. 

I hope you are staying warm and enjoying your weekend.  If your area found lots of snow, get out and play.  I went out with the little guy today and it was fun to just be a kid again.
