Happy Accident?

I’ve been pretty occupied with writing content for my website, YummyPetal.com. And so far, I’ve been fairly happy with the things I’ve published, as well as the pieces I have yet to put out. But there is one section that’s given me a bit of grief.

As I was putting the finishing touches on my site in order to post it on WA for feedback, a very dear friend of mine called. I got on the phone, chatting and clicking away semi-absentmindedly when schwoooop! Home page deleted. Now, I wasn’t completely heartbroken, but I also wasn’t thrilled that I had to write the whole thing over. And when I say that, I actually mean create an entirely new one because it had been so long since I’d first started it that I didn’t even remember what it said. And I didn’t store a copy of it, which was surprisingly unlike me.

Though it was a little annoying that I was careless enough to let that happen, I just sucked up my moderate anguish and wrote a new one. The good thing about this mistake is that it forced me to create a light-hearted version of my home page, which is more analogous with the tone of Yummy Petal than the straight-laced original.I’ve asked for feedback on the site, so I’m hoping that these changes will have been in my favor. If not, it’s back to the drawing board!

Hi Christina - Always check your trash - to see if you have completely deleted - people often don't.

Like the name of your website. You have interesting well written content.

Two things I would consider - increasing the size of your font - which I think is too small. You also need to look at your images, which are too small and awkwardly positioned on the left. Sorry - I know you didn't ask for comments :) Beverley

Hi Beverly, thanks for your feedback. I actually did ask for it, on one of the discussion boards. I do plan on making adjustments to the appearance, but I'm wrestling with the odd theme defaults. And yeah...I permanently deleted the home page because I thought it was a spare draft. That's how clear-minded I was. :p

Nice to be positive always ...

See, things do happen for a reason and think positive!! Great job and stay positive.... Thanks for sharing. Terri

I appreciate the encouragement, Terri. I'll keep hammering away :)

Christina your website colors are very calming. These might be some ideas for you to include if you think they might serve your site's needs: how to brew teas properly (I brew way too long) and maybe the unique types of teas like the ones that come from bulbs and open up. Just a thought since I really need to learn about teas. I love that you know people of different worlds & cultures.

Muchas gracias, Dorothy. Stay tuned because those posts are definitely on the way!
