	My Blog : Crystal Leighton Crystal Leighton New Jobs going at Parkgate 01-Feb-12 10:24 The UK’s leading online retailer of baby products, Kiddicare is to open a flagship store in Rotherham in the former Best Buys unit in Parkgate. The retailer acquired by Morrisions in 2011 has agreed to take on over the leases of ten former Best Buys stores and is set to invest around £15m to convert them to be able to offer the full Kiddicare range. The company have estimated that around 700 new jobs will be created across the stores with the first store currently expected to open before the autumn this year. It is expected that at these stores customers will benefit from a number of special services including VIB (Very Important Baby), free car seat fittings and lands-on learning about different products. It’s good to see new retailers coming to Rotherham especially when you read about the rising unemployment figures published in the papers. Having variety is important and though it may be out of the town centre it will give people options on where to shop that isn’t included in the seemingly endless and occasionally criticised growing number of discount stores. It will provide some much needed opportunities for people to get into work while offering a quality service and range to the people of Rotherham. I look forward to seeing more retailers such as these coming to Rotherham in these uncertain times that help to bolster the spirits and regeneration of the town. Tell me what you think to this, would you like to see more stores like this and if so what stores? Leave me a comment and let me know or write your own blog if you hear of any opportunities and developments you’d like to share. You can also share your views on the stores you’d like to see in Rotherham in the Work Forum here.

How to create a Blog

Navigate to the blogs page, which can be located on the smaller navigation bar at the top of the page to the right of the main headers.

Once on the page at the top right will be a small stunt to ‘post a blog’, which will then take you to a small, short form to fill out your information.

The form has been made as user friendly as possible and requires only minimal information.

Start off by inputting your title. This can generally be a small or long as you want however, short titles are recommended and generally more eye catching.

Next you have the option to input a thumbnail image to give with your blog. These are not necessary, but again recommended in drawing attention.

Keyword tags – once you click on this box it will open up into a window were you can choose from a variety of different words or input your own in the top box. It is very important to fill this in with as many different words applicable to the content of your blog. This helps it appear in numerous places throughout the site and also ranks it higher up on a Google search. Separate each word with a comma and when you’re finished click the ‘Attach’ button which will return you back to the form with your keywords in place.

NOTE: If you wish to put a phrase or a string of words in together you will need to put them in speech marks as the function automatically breaks up words.
After this there is the option to add a main image, again this is not necessary but will appear at the top of your blog when people access it and can make it more engaging and interesting to view.

Next is the ‘ Blog Intro’ box where you can write an introduction to go with your blog that once listed, will display with your thumbnail (if you decide to add one) to entice readers to on the link to read your blog.

Following this is another box ‘Blog Entry’, where you can input your content. You can write directly into the box or copy and paste from a document into the box, just remember to space it out again afterwards.

After this your blog is complete and you can click the ‘Save’ button at the top of the page. After this your blog should appear in the listing on the Blogs page that you entered through and any other pages you tagged too.
