Make Sure You Have the Right Blog
Every once in awhile I google myself….I know it sounds dirty, but after thinking up this name and buying the URL back in 2009 I have to watch out for imposters and people with close names. Not everyone understands why having a unique name is a good idea and how infringing on someone who may become big one day could lose them all their effort (if they put enough into it). I am only found at http://mainelycoupons.com. I am NOT hosted by blogspot. I am NOT Mainely Couponing-who existed for...
Read MoreBack to Saving
I have been seriously slacking in the deals department. Even worse I have been slacking in the posting and sharing department which makes me feel even worse. After looking at what I want to buy for lunches for work I need to get my butt in gear though. So I will be working harder to catalog and share deals. Maybe not for as many stores-after all how many sites need to post the exact same deals-but focusing on the New England stores. Market Basket, Shaws, Hannaford and Target, maybe Walmart or...
Read MoreColor Change?
Not sure I’m liking the new colors….I miss the bright pink and black design. I think I will be trying out a pink design tomorrow night as well as working on the Market Basket ad scans when I have some high speed access. Life is starting to get back on schedule and settle down with the new job, so I will be getting my butt in gear and posting the deals again. yay!
Read MoreiStockphoto and She Blogs Makeover Contest
SheBlogs is having a blog makeover contest. As you might imagine I would adore to win. Coding for WP just isn’t in the cards right now, and its always refreshing to let someone else take your ideas and bring them to fruition. Especially as hot as its been and as busy as I’ve been. Having someone build me a custom template with graphics I can actually respect (instead of some of the 90′s era junk some people charge big $$ for and pass off as quality custom graphics) would be...
Read MoreMIA-Sorry About That
So I have been MIA and am behind in anything having to do with the internet at this point. Unfortunately life interceded and took precedent. Here’s what I’ve been up to: I got a new job. YAY! I had a yardsale-and got a sunburn but not much cash I took lots of naps cause its hot I did laundry and errands and grilled dinners I went shopping with my mom for work clothes, new sneakers and stuff While I am still juggling two dogs, a husband, housework and the new job (with one car to...
Read MoreWord Limit Issue….
Having an issue with word limit in the new themes I want to use. Which means the last two store policy links cannot have just about anything in them….research suggests its connected to the PHP file, but I can’t figure it out. I don’t know PHP….argh. Its too hot to try and wrap my brain around this. Feeling like a complete failure for being so behind.
Read MoreNew Theme Coming
You may notice drastic looking changes over the next 24 hours, possibly the next few days. I promise you the same nutcase is behind the scenes and the deals aren’t going anywhere. I am am just working through a re-launch. Fresh new theme, fresh new design. I hope it will be more educational and help you find what you need. The hybrid features of the new theme will give a nice landing page with options for educational topics and new posts as well as the benefit of following the blog in an...
Read MoreNEW List Feature
So I am trying out a new list plugin which will allow you to select items and print a Shopping List for each store. You can view it on this week’s deals, starting with the Market Basket ad. I have the entire ad listed, but I am thinking I will type out the add then make just the coupon matched items and really good deals a listable format. Mostly because it took forever to make the entire ad a list….
Read MoreCarbon Neutral Status
You may have noticed my host company Host a Tree is a green host company. What does this mean? It means they have determined how much carbon they use in electricity to power the servers, offices, computers, etc and purchase an equal amount in “green energy” to offset that. This “green energy” is renewable powered, whether with water or wind or whatever. This helps let resources last longer and cuts down on carbon dioxide production. You can read more about Host a...
