Oh! That makes a lot of sense, actually. Good thinking about the serious buyers not wanting go wade through underoos (does anyone? LOL). I liked your explanation and thank you for sharing your wisdom with me. I like the idea of not letting your photos go to waste either. I saw some of your pics over on that blog and they are good. The pieces are fun to look at too.

It looks good! Do you take the photographs yourself?

Hi Teeni- I am changing ooawki to a different format so I can have the jewelry on here too- but the current format of a hierarchical blog does not give people who are seriously looking for vintage jewelry pictures and articles a way to find things easily.

Vintage jewelry collectors are pretty serious about their bling and don’t like to wade through stories about underoos and vintage slasher magazines… so that is why I did a separate blog. It’s not much work once it’s set up to post there- because all the pictures are taken from my inventory. I hated deleting them and wasting them after items sold. So now I get to put the pictures to a good use.

I have a silly question though – why would you create a separate site for the jewelry? Why not just show it here? I admit I’m not too knowledgeable in the marketing and niche areas of blogging. I just blog period.

And the blog looks great. The photos of the product are nice and big, which is good considering the size and details in the jewelry.

Great work on the image and thanks for the link! I agree with Dan’s point about the text, but other than that, it really highlights the jewelry.

Dan starts a vintage blog, you start a second vintage blog…come on, can’t you two get along?

Yeah- I am thinking about putting a light bar across the bottom or top and then putting the words in. I see that my recent comments widget doesn’t work over there. It’s been a really frustrating week- but I did get my powerseller status back this week on the one hand.

Nice, except the wording doesn’t really show up well. It blends in too much and is hard to read.
