My first blog
My name is Richard Case and this is my first attempt at writing a blog. I am also very new to running a website. In July of 2008 I started a new website called greenbaycoinjewelry.com. I sell jewelry that have real world coins mounted in them. This is not my first website. My earlier sites were a learning experience. All of them failed for different reasons but I learned things from each of them. I am still learning from my mistakes and my site is improving as I learn. In the coming months I will be adding new products and modifying the listings of old ones.
The purpose of this blog will be to keep you up to date on expected changes, sales, and updates. I will also be writing blogs that I will call “Coin Stories”. I have been researching many of the coins used in the jewelry I sell. I have used this research to improve the information I give in my product names and descriptions. During this research I have found a lot of information about some of these coins that I did not use in my descriptions. Some of the coins had good stories behind them. I will be telling these stories in my blog. This will in some cases include why that particular design was selected, who designed it, and the history behind it. Some of the coins represent very important items or events in the history of the country that minted it. Since I will be researching this information for each blog I will be including a list of sources at the end of each of the “Coin Story” blogs.
I hope you will read and enjoy these blogs as much as I will in writing them. If you find any mistakes on my site or in my blogs or have information that can improve them please let me know. As I said at the beginning of this blog I am new to running a website and to writing a blog. Please bear with me during the growing pains. I will use any input I can get to improve on both.
