Email About Projects
Thursday April 20, 2006
I received the following email from a reader about the projects I post: Why not put a photo of the project at the BEGINNING of the instructions so we don't have to navigate through "next page" and "next page" before seeing what the finished project actually looks like?
Actually, clicking on "next" and "next" isn't necessary because if you look at the newer projects I've post over the past year or so, there is a link on the first page that will direct you to the last page of the project. That way, you can get the low down on what supplies you need (I usually include those in a picture on the front page), and then hop over there and take a look at the finished piece if you want.
As an example, in my latest project entitled Two-Tone Heart Earrings, just scroll down and click on the last lesson - number 4 - and it will bring you over to the last page of the project.

I definitely agree! I would like to see the finished project at the beginning of the article. Or why not directly in the email??? I get bored seeing just words for pages and pages… Many times I have gone to the end by pure curiosity, but others, I just quit!
My favorite jewelry sites have photos showing right away to engage and invite you to keep on reading.
Isn’t jewelry a visual thing anyway?
Really hope this gets better and that (at least) we don’t have to scroll half page down to find a link for the good thing.
Thanks.
I’m afraid I agree too. Tammy you quoted your newest project, the two-tone heart earrings, you have to scroll to get to the link to the last page, click to get there, and then scroll again to see the actual earrings. It really would be nicer to see the picture straight away.
I totally agree! It is very frustrating.
Please put the picture and supplies
first so we can immediately see if this is something we would like to tackle.
Thanks.
Okay, I can at least move the pictures at the top of each page, but still, I only get one picture a page, so I can’t really show supplies and the finished piece - it would look weird I think. But I’ll consider it. Honestly, a few clicks don’t seem that much to ask.
I always go to the last page to get the printer friendly page to see all……. it’s been easier for me!
I, too like Connie, have been going to the printer friendly page to see it all.
I have an idea for earrings. I think there should be a backing like the nosepiece for eyeglasses, that fit the earring and wrap around (not the sticky kind or the ones that go through the hole in the earrings), to keep the earring from pinching or hurting.
Hey, Jennifer, go for it. There’s always room for more jewelry gizmos.
