What's New This Month

We have now been operating from our new site for a month now. We are pretty happy with how it looks, there's quite a lot of work behind the scenes to make sure you can navigate through the site in lots of ways,. particularly the articles, of which there are about 50 now. If you are interested in the tricks of the trade, then click on the bar marked Techniques, to go straight to detailed instructions. For articles of related interest, click on the Related Info bar. And there is now a guide to all the Articles, if you get lost! Or you can return to the home page, and access various articles through the portal pages, in the Inspirations section.

Another new feature is Related Products associated with many articles. Also, you can go straight to related products when you are browsing product pages, though at the moment this feature isn't functioning, so that will come later. And some products have articles related to them, to help you understand how to use them, or suggestions for design.

Also on the home page, keep checking the New Beads section. We are adding new products all the time now, and they will be featured as they join the collection.

Last but not Least, we now have a workiing Forum, called Bead Talk. We have started the ball rolling by creating two topics, one for beaders to exchange information, and one for you to post comments on our site, suggestions for improvement and hopefully some compliments on what you like! You don't have to  be a customer or a registered visitor to read the comments posted in.

Oh I nearly forgot, that''s another new feature. There is now a  REGISTER  page, one of the tabs on the top menu, so you can become a registered visitor. This allows you to post comments of your own on the forum. You will be given a password when you first register, but after that, you can make up your own. If you want, after that, just don't log out, and you will always be a logged in user after that.

Regards
