I’ve been feeling mega enthused lately. Enthused and particularly ambitious. Since I recently stopped drinking coffee, I don’t quite understand where this burst of energy came from… but I’m grateful. It’s helped me realize a few things. My blog has become stagnant. I’ve hit this plateau and I am dying to break out of it now that I know it’s there. I do the same thing, week after week after week. It’s starting to bore me so I am guessing it might be starting to bore my readers. There is nothing of variation on my page. Aside from the two posts I recently made about my trips, it is simply recipes. So I sat down and came up with a list of new ideas to implement on my site, which I am very excited about. I’m sharing them with you to not only prep you for the things to come but to keep me accountable for my new goals. Seriously, if things haven’t started to change up around here by the end up the Summer, e-mail me and tell me to kick it into gear already!

I am happy to say that I have already made two changes this week. Yay! Things are looking up already : ) You may have noticed that I reorganized my navbar menu. Instead of it reading “Home, About, Recipes, Shop, Contact”, it now reads “Home, Recipes, Resources (formerly known as “Shop”), About, Contact”. I mainly wanted to bring “Recipes” right over to the left hand side where your eye first goes because I think it is one of the most important items up there. I also completely changed the drop-down menu under recipes. It now has categories “The Bakery” for desserts and such items, “The Kitchen” for all savory-type dishes, and “Healthy” for all nutritious recipes. Those three categories are further divided into subcategories. I just feel like it organizes things a little better for you.

The second change I made was adding a button on the side bar that links to healthy recipes. I created the icon myself in photoshop and installed it myself : ) I’m pretty proud. I’m not very good with computers so the fact that I did that is pretty astounding actually. I wanted to devote an entire icon calling attention to my healthy recipes because I want to start featuring more healthy dishes on this site. You heard me- the Sweet Spot is not all about sweets anymore! It’s just killing my waistline. I can’t do it anymore.

Alright, now that I have mentioned a couple of things that I’ve already done, let me get to the stuff I am going to start including on my site! [click to continue…]
