New Blog Features

The past few days, I've been busting my butt trying to include some new features on the blog. I'm happy to announce that all the updates are complete!

Update #1: Social Media Buttons
You might notice some cute little yellow buttons that popped up at the top of the sidebar. Those four buttons took a couple hours to write the HTML codes for, but I think it's so worth it! Plus, it was much easier thanks to a tutorial by Kira at NewLeaf! Aren't they adorable? They are for my Twitter page, Pinterest, RSS feed, and Facebook page.

Update #2: RSS Feed. 
Two words that frustrated me so much more than I expected. But my RSS feed is up and running now so that made me happy! From my understanding, this feed will allow you guys to read the blog from mobile devices and such without having to take forever load all the graphics that the blog page has. No worries, you will still be able to see the images within the post though! It will also allow you to add my RSS feed to your Google Reader or other reader of your choice. Just head on over to the sidebar and Click the 'Subscribe to Posts' button. You can also choose to follow by e-mail now thanks to RSS!



Update #3: Twitter Feed. 
Twitter is something I've had for awhile, but haven't always been dedicated to. But I'm pretty into it now and it's linked up to the blog! I've got the handy little twitter feed over in the sidebar so feel free to follow me and read up on my recent tweets. Also, feel free to ask questions via Twitter and I'll do my best to answer them in a timely manner! I'm hoping this twitter widget makes my next surprise (read update #4) a little easier for you guys to follow me!


Update #4: Sponsors/Affiliates
This is something I am really excited to share with you guys! I've been working on getting some sponsors for the blog and the time has finally come to post them. Some of the sponsors are wonderful Etsy shops that I have either personally bought items from or contacted about items I'm interested in. Here is a brief description of each shop and links to their site. Be sure to check them out and tell them Framed Frosting sent you!

Shabby Apple
- This website has everything! Feminine dresses, skirts, jewelry and accessories, shoes, fitness clothing, and so much more! There are so many wonderful pieces. Here are just a few of my personal favorites. Check out Shabby Apple's website here! {I am an affiliate of Shabby Apple, but I would not stand behind a company or recommend them to you if I didn't honestly love their products}  
Use the code PURSUE for 10% off your total purchase!



Jewelry Deli
- This fabulous Etsy shop offers so many versatile pieces. Everything from leaves to birds to monogrammed necklaces and plenty more. Please check out the Jewelry Deli shop here!
Psst: She has been so generous to donate one of her pieces for a GIVEAWAY, so stay tuned!



Galit Barak Jewelry

- Another fabulous Etsy shop with some great pieces that are centered around gemstones! She also has a lot of great bridal jewelry pieces. Please check out the Galit Barak Jewelry shop here!
