Blog Updates

Hey dolls! I have some exciting news for you today. Some of you who follow me via facebook may have already heard that Refined & Polished has gotten a makeover. Along with the revamped look, R&P can now be found at www.refinedandpolished.com. I've owned this domain name for over a year, but I've finally come to a point to where I wanted to migrate from Blogger. Please change your bookmarks as necessary and check out the new site. I would love to hear your feedback. For those of you who follow via a RSS feed (i.e. Google Reader), you will have to subscribe again on the new site. Several posts have been made on the new site, so check them out. Hope to see all of you over on the new site!

R & P is now on Bloglovin

Hey dolls, some of you may have heard that Google will be doing away with Google Friend Connect in March 2012 to be replaced by Google+ (here is an article that provides full details). The immediate impact of this will be on blogs not hosted by Blogger. While I'm currently hosted by Blogger, that may change in time. Therefore, here are the other ways you can keep up with the happenings at Refined and Polished.

• Facebook: Posts are shared and photo albums are updated regularly on the fan page
• RSS Feeds: Allows you to subscribe to the RSS reader of your choice to read posts
• Bloglovin: Allows you to follow multiple blogs and view them all in one place

I will be subscribing to all of the blogs I follow through one of these methods to ensure that I stay up to date with their posts. I may create a Google+ page at some point, but I do not see the utility of it right now. I have a personal page that I never use, so only time will tell. 

Please let me know if you have any questions and if you are on Bloglovin. I love all of the fashion and style blogs that I am finding through it!

Change in the Comments Section

Hey dolls,
I just added Disqus to my comments section. This makes it possible for me to respond directly to your comments, as well as others. The responses are nested and much easier to follow in my opinion. You can also subscribe directly to replies to your comment only. I know I can't stand when I leave a comment on a blog, but forget to check back to see if they responded because I didn't want to get notifications of everyone else's responses. The downfall of disqus...you can no longer see old comments. I'm a little salty about that, but I think its a good switch. Leave a comment below to let me know what you think!
