Please describe your blog
A blog dedicated to the display of my jewelry. I am always designing and, through starting the blog, am able to get images of my new work on-line almost as soon as I've made it. While teaching myself HTML in order to update my website more frequently than I am now, a blog is a great way for me to learn more HTML and get my work to the public (my website can be found at http://www.btltdesigns.com). I also hope to develop the "idea" of Bright Light Designs and convey "what the company is about." e.g. - Every Bright Light's Design is named after a constellation, moon, or star. When I post a new jewelry item, I also give an explanation of its respective stellar body.
