Ewishingwell’s New Feature – Category Counts

Saturday, February 5th, 2011

Since Ewishingwell is in its infancy, we decided to make it easier on our users by turning on the category counts. This will allow our users to quickly see how many listings are listed in each category.

While browsing the main category page in either main category (Wishing or Gifting), you will notice numbers in parenthesis next to each subcategory. This indicates how many listings are in that particular subcategory.

We know your time is important. This should save you valuable time and allow you to visit the site more often.

If you have any suggestions on how we can improve the website and make it better for you, please let us know.

P.S. – What do you think about the change? Does it make it easier for you to keep an eye on the website? I’d love to hear your answers. Please leave me a comment below.

Featured Wishing and Gifting Listings – Now Available

Friday, February 4th, 2011

In order to make Ewishingwell an even better experience for our users, we made the Featured Listing Feature Available to ALL our users. What does this mean for you? What are the Featured Listings and where do they appear? Let me answer those questions now.

This means great things for you, but you have to take advantage of it. While Posting a Listing for your wish or gift item. Here is what you need to do.

1) Click on “Post a Listing”.
2) Once you get to the “Listing Extra Details & Information Choices” Page.
3) Select the choice, “Featured Listing”.
4) Click the box next to this extra.

The Feature Listing status you selected causes the listing to rotate on the Front Page of the Website randomly. Only 10 are shown on the front page under each category (wishing and gifting an item). Therefore, they are randomly displayed. This increases your listing’s visibility, so more people can view it.

We wanted everyone’s listings to have an equal opportunity to be viewed on the front page of the website, so we decided to implement this feature for everyone. Hope you enjoy it!

P.S. – give it a try and tell me what you think in the comments below.

New Video Tutorials up and running

Monday, September 27th, 2010

The new video tutorials are up and running on the website and our YouTube Channel.  We updated them to reflect the category name change from grants to ”Gifts”.  They were also updated to reflect the slight update to the website’s overall look.  They weren’t big changes, just minor ones.  However, we wanted to show this in the video tutorials. 

You can access the video tutorials via the website page named Video Tutorials or Ewishingwell’s YouTube Channel.  Many people have found the tutorials very helpful and informative, so give them a try.

Changing Main Category Titles

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

We are changing our category titles to help clear up any confusion they might be causing our users. The old categories were wishes and grants. The new categories are Wishing and Gifting. I am working on getting the video tutorials updated to reflect this change. We hope this will clear up any confusion our users have.

“Local” Wish Granting-Website Use Topic

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

I’ve thought of a new idea with the blog.  I’m going to cover some of the features on Ewishingwell, so my users get the most out of the website.

Today – I’m gonna cover the topic, Local Wish Granting.

Lets imagine for a moment, you have a piece of furniture, like a couch.  I wanna see you ship that puppy to someone through the mail – NOT.  The shipping cost would be HUGE.  What are you to do?  You LOVE using Ewishingwell, but you can’t ship something that heavy and big.

Not to worry, you can make a few modifications on your listing and presto – it will be a LOCAL pickup item only.  So the LUCKY people in your area can claim your couch and go pick it up from you directly.  No Cost to you and a little gas and effort for them, what a trade off.  So Yes, you can giveaway Free items that are HUGE on Ewishingwell. 

That is one of the ways I set up the website, so it can be used globally and locally to grant wishes for people.

Here’s how you would do it:

When you are listing the Gift (item) or the Wish for that matter, instead of putting a shipping method – choose LOCAL PICKUP ONLY!  Then when you want to search for an item, put in your location and see what is listed in your area for Local Pickup…

Let me know if you guys need more information on this or if it is clear as mud…heeheehee
