But Do You *Like* Like A Facebook Page?
Posted on Mar 20, 2013 in Blog, Social Networking | 8 comments
Last time Facebook did an overhaul (a few months back?), I noticed for the first time a set of links on my left hand bar under the heading “Pages”. The first was a link to my own Page, with a notification number showing any new activity. Very handy. Second was something called a “Pages feed” that showed updates from all the Pages I’d Liked. Then finally came the...

I guess the old saying is true, April snowshowers kill March flowers. Yes, welcome to Scotland. The country where any kind of weather can (and does) happen. We’ve got big fat goosefeather snow out there today, and I’m seriously tempted to take the day off (mostly because the cat was outside screaming in protest at 5am.) But because I’m a grown-up, and grown-ups don’t get...

I’m sure I’m not the only one this has happened to… I was going along just fine, then suddenly, some folks I hadn’t seen in 20 years popped up on my Facebook friend invite section. This is always a bit of a mixed blessing. Sure, it’s great to reconnect with those people I liked (mostly), but on the other hand, perhaps I’m not exactly the hottie I was in high school! (Trust me....

Yep, it’s Thursday again, and today I have a special guest, Theresa Milstein. I met Theresa through social networking, which is probably one of the reasons I so loved her topic for today, the online writer’s community. Theresa Milstein a daily substitute teacher, looking for a Social Studies job. She also writes children’s books. Her current pieces are YA fantasy/paranormal...
Read MoreB is for Bounce

Bouncing. As in me. Up and down. With pure, giddy delight. I’m a bit punchy about Monday’s release of Ordinary Angels. It’s the polar opposite of the scathing lows an author feels after receiving a couple dozen rejection letters. Which reminds me of another B word: bonfire. I think I’ll have one on Monday with all those two-year old missives from overworked agents who said...
