Wednesday sale con't, thoughts, shoe news, & a sneak peak....

So I felt kinda bad cuz I usually try to post the Wednesday sale early Wed morning.  Yesterday I forgot until almost 10am.  So to apologize for my untimely manner I am extending the Wednesday sale for today as well.  Those Simple Satire's are calling your name so come in today and try them on.  At only $48 you can't go wrong.

In other news, I'd like to hear what you think of my blog look?  The good, the bad and the ugly...I'm all ears.  Is it easy to navigate or too busy? love it? hate?  Let me know.  I can't decide.  I like change but sometimes change isn't good so send me a comment and share your input.  While you are at it...fill out the online survey too.  I so value customer feedback and would love to hear everyone's input on what they think of Sole Obsession Footwear.  We've been open for over a year now...crazy...so tell us what you've liked, what we can change, what other shoes/products you'd like to see at the store.

In shoe news, Dansko just sent me the catalogue for fall 2010.  I can't divulge secrets just yet but I am so excited for March's shoe show.  The catalogue is full of new styles and completely new looks for Dansko.  I was in shock as I flipped through the pages.  I dare say it's the boldest new look for Dansko that I have seen.  There's an entire collection of wedges, cute boots will fur lining, some awesome new heels and a gorgeous knee high boot that comes in size 12.  HEAVEN!  Stay tuned for pics after the March show.

For a sneak peak of what Dansko is offering us this spring. Check out these beauties.  They should be arriving in the store sometime in February.  I'm already in love....

From OOPS to SUCCESS

So my Snapsister came in today to see what help she could offer me with my blog predicament.  Although she did not appreciate the blame I bestowed upon her for making me mess up my blog :), Jodi encouraged me to not give up and keep trying. Tami was also here working for a bit today.  Between Jodi (the Snapsister), Tami and I, neither of us could figure out the whole HTML coding thing. We were stumped.
After the ladies left me to my madness I got busy.  I was not about to be outdone by something called HTML.
HT-my derrière is what it should be called.  (Sorry...my blog is quickly moving to adult rating these days.  This is what computers do to me)  But I digress, usually I'm not one to toot my own horn, but today, TOOT TOOT!

I figured it out!  I uploaded my new template, read through all that HTML jargon and somehow managed to accurately add my website link, my long lost widgets to the sidebars, and my email address to the contact button.  I am stoked!  I may quit shoes and go into HTML coding...okay maybe not.  I really don't think I could actually do it again.  It was a one hit wonder but I'm not complaining.  Whatever I managed to do worked and that is all that matters.  Now back to my real job...SHOES.

OOPS

So I get blog envy every now and then and think that I need to make my blog a bit more...different.  I was checking out some of my friend's blogs and thought the Snapsisters did a really cute job on their new look.  I tried to copy it, and low and behold, everything was lost.  I still had my posts but everything I had done, little widgets I had added, LOST!  I spent a good part of the morning and into the afternoon trying to fix it.  I'm still trying to fix it but I've about given up for the day.  Days like today make me want to jump up and down, scream profanities, and pull my hair out.  Why are computers so HORRIBLE?  I think its all a ploy to make the human race crazy.
So what do you think?  Do you like the fancy green and brown that I used to have or the new minimalist look?  Should I keep trying to get it back or should I give up?

Oh...and P.S. there was a coupon in the Tribune yesterday for the store.  Ravage your recycling boxes and don't miss out on great savings.

New Blog Template

I've been playing around with new blog templates and think this one is super cute. But it might be distracting? A bit much? What do you think? Post your comments below. Constructive criticism accepted. Mean commens are not. :)
