Through a bit of trial and error I have managed to install the ‘shopp plugin‘ into my blog and have set up a basic shop on this website. So now you can buy products directly from Milomade. Hopefully the process will be easier and quicker than shopping via Folksy.

I’m getting to love WordPress more and more and the more I tweak the redesign of this blog, the more I learn about it.

I’ve been busy this week – every little ounce of spare time has been taken up with re-designing my website and blog. What do you think of the new look?  I was feeling a little claustrophobic with the previous look so I made the site wider and it feels a lot more spacious and roomy now. I got really into it last night and ended up staying up until three in the morning as I wanted to get all the main site pages finished. I’ve still got some text to write and the galleries within the product pages to sort out.
