As I mentioned Monday, I changed some things a bit (just a bit) to make it easier for you to find information around here.
The first thing I had added was a way to make it easier for you to choose a way get my updates: Email, RSS reader, Twitter or Facebook. You can subscribe to get my updates in as many ways as you choose.

Second, I added menus to make it easier for you to find Freebies, coupons and deals. Below my blog logo you will find a navigational bar with main categories. The first category is freebies where you can find every single free offer I have shared with you. I looked at it and in the time I have been doing this it has over 700 entries. If you put your mouse under the following tabs a drop down menu will appear to make it easier for you to find what you are looking for. Just click on the word and you will find it.
If that still doesn’t help you find what you are looking for, you will also find the search bar right at the top of the site.
At the bottom you will also find links to previous posts and my shopping how-to guides:
There are still little things here and there that I need to iron out. But as you can see most of the changes have been to make it a better working site for you. This is a site for you after all, so this is your time to let me know if there is something that needs to change. I am always appreciative of your thoughtful input. I heard from some of you that the site was loading slower. I have changed a few settings and hopefully it is loading faster now. Please let me know.

Thank you so much for getting this all organized. It looks awesome
Looks great. I know it is hard work making changes.
Looks wonderful
Mercedes, the site looks very pleasing to my eyes! Everything is nicely laid out! Thank you for all your hard work : )
The site is awesome, but I thought I would let you know that certain bars open that say “resolving host” “waiting for doubleclick” etc, etc. Its a bit better than last night and again, I must say that it could be my end. My internet used to be lightening fast, but my company has been fooling around and it has been slower on my end. Again, I really enjoy your site and appreciate all you do. Thank you
LOVE IT…THANKS!!!
I love the changes! Great Job!
Love the new look and how easy is to navigate now. Thank you for your hard work.
You made some great changes, and the new design looks fantastic!
I think it looks great Mercedes!
