\"Polymer <\/span>“Today, I’m going to address some recent questions that have
\ncome up.” ~Cindy-L<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

But before I get started… let me just say Happy Valentines Day<\/span><\/strong> to everyone reading :-) :-) :-) Hopefully your day is filled with chocolate, roses and lovely thoughts of that special someone in your life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now on with the show…. With new members coming into this community every day, I receive a lot of email about how to access all of the polymer clay information that I publish daily, here at the blog [www.polymerclaytutor.com<\/a>], and weekly at the members library site [www.beadvideos.com<\/a>].<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of these emails are from members and visitors, just wanting to let me know how organized they feel everything is laid out around here, at least for the way their brains work. Obviously I love receiving these emails, because it means I’ve done something right :-)<\/span><\/p>\n

But… not everyone processes information in the same way. And for that reason, I also get emails from people asking for further assistance with finding stuff.<\/span><\/p>\n

So today, I’m going to address some recent questions that have come up, in hopes that everyone can benefit from the information. For the quotes and comments presented in this article, I’ve decided to leave out the names, since some of you may prefer it that way, with this subject matter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hello Cindy :) I enjoy so much getting your emails, you are so organized! Can I ask a question about your web site interface? It’s so pleasant and easy to navigate – both blog and content, is it WordPress? Thanks!<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes I use WordPress for my website interface, both for the free blog [www.polymerclaytutor.com<\/a>] as well as for the members library [www.beadvideos.com<\/a>]. It works great as a content management system and is well supported by many developers who make both free and paid plugins for it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hi there! I just spent the last 15 minutes or so perusing your blog. I love how you have it set up! VERY nice and conducive to reading through lots of posts quickly, fabulous!! Everything you write about is great and very informative even for people who are not a polymer clay artist, but just someone who likes to craft!!<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thank you! A lot of information is provided in each of the daily blog posts, especially when a whole bunch of helpful comments get added below the article. But everyone has busy lives, so I wanted to set things up in a way where you can visually scroll through the topics to be able to quickly pick and choose what to consume<\/em>, during the time that you have available for web surfing.

Thanks, Cindy for all the links you provide in each post to check out other related articles available on the site. My brain is spinning with all the information contained here. Just the links alone will take me days to explore and ingest.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This comment shows that if you have time to research a topic more extensively, all of the links in each of the articles help you to be able to do this more effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cindy, every time I think I have read just about everything there is to read at your blog [www.polymerclaytutor.com<\/a>], I come across an article I have not seen before. I don’t know if anyone has ever asked you this before but is there anyway to start at the beginning of your blog and read from there forward. When was your very first blog?? This is the only way I feel I can be sure to absorb all the information you have ever offered here.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now that I have a laptop, my wonderful husband has fixed a table on wheels where I can slide it over the bed and use it with ease. On days when I don’t feel like doing much of anything else, I would love nothing more than to read your blog from the beginning on. I am sure it will take me many days of which unfortunately I seem to have more than I would like some weeks. So if this can be done would you please tell me how. Eager to learn as much from you that I possibly can. Thank you so much for all I have learned so far.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To the wonderful member who sent this email, I sincerely apologize for not addressing your message sooner. There are two ways to go through all of the content in the blog. The quickest approach is to use the Archives<\/em> feature in the right side bar column. There is a drop down<\/em> box that says Select Month<\/em>, which reveals a scrolling list of all the months since I started publishing articles back in February 2008. Simply click on each month and an index of all the articles for that month will show for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

The other way to systematically move through all of the articles at this blog is to follow these steps:
