Part 1 of 2
Do you use Google's Blogger program? If so, did you know they have recently enabled 5 different dynamic ways for readers to view blogs? Not only do they make reading blogs easier but also fun and interactive. Shown below is a screen capture of the flipcard view of The Beading Gem's Journal.

The result is not only a pictorial view of my blog but it is interactive as well - mousing over each picture will give the title and the date. Clicking will open up the post itself. This is a clean post representation suitable for printing (for personal use only please). Readers can also click on the label tab to select the blog categories they are interested in.

Other dynamic views of my blog :
Timeslide
Mosaic
Sidebar
Snapshot

Check out this video to see a quick review of all the dynamic templates.

You can read any Blogger blog by simply adding "view" after the blog URL such as :
http://www.beadinggem.com/view

Then select the dynamic template you like best.

If you are a Google Blogger user, the feature has already been automatically added to the formatting section of your blog. You could, of course, choose not to enable it.

Alice in Wonderland Jewelry Display Tree Tutorial

Posted: 08 Apr 2011 04:03 PM PDT

It's called the Alice in Wonderland jewelry tree because Char C. the creator was doing an Alice in Wonderland themed sidewalk sale. It is really a clever jewelry tree made from just a large cardboard box.

If you check out her tutorial, you'll see you have to cut out not one but 2 cardboard trees which will interlock together. The base of the display comes from one side of the remaining bits of the cardboard box. You can spray paint in other colors.

The origami flowers are also great touches. But I love her Alice in Wonderland inspired tag lines even better. "Off with her jewelry! She did an awful job painting my roses!" I'll bet her jewelry sold well given her attractive display. Yes indeed, Char, you do need a Jabberwocky to protect it all!
