New Look at Beauty and Fashion Tech!

Beauty and Fashion Tech has undergone a facelift! It was time for a new look, and the new format will allow the site to run certain advertisements better, but also make them a bit less intrusive than they were before.

There are also a few new features:

In the right sidebar, look for the box with tabs for subscriptions, archives, tags, popular posts. You can now search there by tag, which includes brand names. Categories are also still available in a pull down menu just below.

Also new are popular posts, to see what people like the best.

There is an easy to locate search function at the top of the page.

When you look at the page for an individual post, the right sidebar will include a box for other entries in that category.

Finally, trackbacks are now separate from comments, so it is easier to distinguish between them.

Enjoy!

Comment Policy Reminder

Unfortunately, I have seen a big rise in the amount of spam comments and need to post this reminder.

Beauty and Fashion Tech and Girl Gloss appreciate comments and love to see reader interaction. But spam comments that are made for the primary purpose of promoting a commercial site are not tolerated.

Here is a relevant section of the Comment Policy on the matter:

Spam Comments: Spam will not be tolerated and will be deleted. This includes comments that have the appearance of spam.

Signs of spam that may lead to deletion of your comment:

*Using a product name as your user name, especially if your url is to a commercial site.

*Using your site name as your user name if your site is highly commercial and not a fellow beauty, style, or women’s interest site with genuine original content.

*Your url leads to a link farm, splog, ad page, income parked site, or similar type of website.

We realize that many blog owners use their hobby or site name as a user name. But sites that are unrelated to beauty, fashion, style, or women’s interests that do so and include a related url will be suspect. Have a legitimate comment and don’t want to get deleted? Use your name, or leave out your url, and make a clearly valuable comment.

Links in Comments: You are more than welcome to include your site url in the line of the comment field for it so that readers can find your own blog or website. But links to your site in the body of your comment will be deleted unless it is highly relevant to the post.

Links to stores and other commercial sites will be deleted.

Those of you with commercial sites and blogs, please keep this in mind when commenting. Thanks!

I am in love with this new custom art product that nicely incorporates M.A.C.’s Viva Glam lipstick.

DNA II, a company that makes custom portraits from DNA and fingerprints, is offering a new line of modern art pieces: KISS Portraits(TM) made with M.A.C. Viva Glam lipstick. A portion of sales are donated to the M.A.C. AIDS Fund.Customers can order a kit from the company website, which includes a M.A.C. Viva Glam lipstick and plenty of paper for capturing a lip print. Using colors and framing specifications set by the customer on the website, the company then custom creates the artwork, frames it, and sends it back.For a full writeup and more photos, see my post on this neat new art concept at Girl Gloss.
