An important milestone

At a recent communications industry seminar on social media, I learned that most blogs are abandoned and put to death by their creators after only 3 months. Having launched the bread + butter project (including our blog and e-store) in mid-August, we now have more than 3 months under our belt, and are still going strong. Has it been a challenge to keep up with the commitment of providing new content each day? Yes. Are we still excited and motivated by our mission? You bet. As Sue mentioned in her last post, we're also working to understand how additional tools like Twitter and facebook can strengthen our efforts.

For those of you who are new to our blog, we hope you'll check out some of things we've tried and written about over the past 3+ months in our archives. We also hope you'll offer us suggestions on the blog and the e-store.

On the e-store, some of our followers have suggested that we actually have too many products, and that we should remove some of them. We're taking this advice to heart, and are considering retiring a number of items and introducing new products on a seasonal basis. Does that sound right to you? Please let us know what you think. And if there is an item you've been thinking about ordering, now is a good time to act. It may not be there tomorrow. Check out all of the products in our e-store, and use the pull-down menu under the shop tab at the top of the page to sort by category (men, women, kids, accessories, etc.) We also invite newcomers to get to know the bread + butter project team: Tom, Sue, Katie and Emma.
