The day has finally arrived! It is time for the Bargain Blessings Relaunch Party!
As I’m sure most of you had noticed the site looks a little different and has some fun new features. I am going to tell you about those new features in a moment, but before I do I just want to take a moment to say thank you to my wonderful designer Sharon for helping me to pull this off. Switching blogging platforms and designing a new site isn’t the easiest thing in the world to do, but Sharon helped to make it a great experience! My husband has also been an incredible support while I worked late nights to wrap up all the details and complained about the frustrations of learning a new system.
I also wanted to thank YOU, my amazing readers…reading your comments and receiving your e-mail always keeps me going and working hard to make Bargain Blessings the best website it can be. You’ve been nice enough to stick with me during the past few weeks with the temporary design after my old website crashed and not a single person complained! You all mean so much to me and I want you to know that.
Now, without further ado I’d like to introduce to you some of the new Bargain Blessings features!
Navigation Bar
The old website used to have all of the categories on the right side-bar. Now you can find everything you are looking for by using the navigation bar at the top!
Coupon Database
I think this one might be my favorite new feature! You can now use the coupon database tab to search for any and all of your coupons! For example, if you are looking for a Huggies coupon, just type in Huggies and it will show you every current source for a Huggies coupon, including insert coupons, home mailers, eCoupons, internet printables and more! How sweet is that?!? This feature will be replacing the spreadsheets that I formally e-mailed out and posted.
Comments
You will now be able to reply to other reader’s comments by hitting the reply button under their comment. Hopefully this will keep the comments section a little more organized. Another neat feature in the comments section is the ability to use smiley faces! I’m totally stoked about this one. Here are just some of the shortcuts to display your emotions:
Community
The Bargain Blessings Community can now be accessed right on the website! Just click on the Community tab in the Navigation Bar. The Community is an awesome way to connect with other readers, ask questions, and share deals! If you are not already participating, make sure to check it out today…you never know, there might even be a giveaway in the near future!
Calendar
You will now be able to stay up-to-date on all sorts of scheduled events and freebies by using the Bargain Blessings Calendar! The calendar can be found in the right side-bar of this page.
So there you have it! I hope you all find these features as helpful as I do. As always, please feel free to leave a comment with any questions or suggestions.
Now, lets get this party started! Are you all ready for some fun giveaways?!?
Melissa Keller says
I’m super excited about the new coupon database! Now I don’t have to go to other websites to search for a particular coupon! I’m also looking forward to seeing how the Calendar will come in handy (I just need to get in the habit of looking at it and not just the posts! 🙂
