A Big Job Complete

Running a business for yourself often presents challenges.  I normally enjoy new projects and the sense of accomplishment upon mastering a new skill.

This week I fulfilled a task that has been crashing around in my brain for a while.  Not only did I update the Mum's Creations' paper catalogue (yes, we still have one) but I also learned how to add hyperlinks to the on-line version to make it fully integrated with the website.

In plain English:  you can open a copy of the printed catalogue on your computer and if you see something interesting, click on the photo and presto! you're at the matching web page.

I was actually quite surprised at how easily I was able to figure out how to do this; but not surprised that it took hours to input all the hyperlinks, but now it is done!

Look for yourself here.  There are even two versions; one for Canadian shoppers and one for American.  The main difference is in the pages displaying maps and images for each country.

Time for a new project!
