Thumbnail image for Facebook Timeline Finally Available To Everyone Worldwide

Facebook has announced an update on the Facebook blog today that the rollout of Timeline, its new profile page concept and layout, is now available wordwide. Timeline was originally introduced at the Facebook f8 conference on September 22, 2011, but was limited to only a few people and those who took the time to install the “developer” version (yes, for geeks like me who couldn’t wait). Timeline is, according to Facebook, “…a new kind of profile that lets you highlight the photos, posts and life events that help you tell your story”. It looks completely different from the “old” Facebook, which was [...]

I recently received a Facebook question from someone who’s become a volunteer Facebook Page Administrator for her son’s school – a question I’ve had a few times on how to post a comment to a Facebook Page as yourself if you’re the administrator of the page: Q.

Those Pesky Facebook Thumbnails…And How To Get Them To Work

Thumbnail image for Those Pesky Facebook Thumbnails…And How To Get Them To Work

One of the ways to add more content to Facebook posts is by adding a hyperlink to an external website (for example another web page or a video on YouTube). When you add a link, you may see those Facebook thumbnails on various posts – small image or video thumbnails that appear on the left side of many posts on your news stream or other people’s walls. The question is how do they appear, and why is it that sometimes when you try and post a link to a post, the image that you thought would appear as a thumbnail just [...]

Don’t Be Afraid of the Big, Bad QR Code

Thumbnail image for Don’t Be Afraid of the Big, Bad QR Code

I don’t see QR Codes fading into the realm of techno-gimmick anytime soon. A recent article in Print Solutions Magazine provides some compelling data that clearly suggests the opposite. The number of Americans who are only using mobile devices is dramatically increasing. From Print Solutions Magazine: “After all, one in five U.S. mobile phone owners uses the mobile Internet every day (“2011 Mobile Internet Attitudes Report,” Antenna Software). Not only this but according to On Device Research, 25 percent of U.S. mobile phone users are mobile only. In other words, they do not (or very rarely use) a desktop, laptop [...]

One of the ways you can share content between your social networks is to allow your  accounts to connect or “sync” with each other.

To Post or Not To Post: How Often Should You Post on Facebook?

Thumbnail image for To Post or Not To Post: How Often Should You Post on Facebook?

How Often Is Enough? One of the most common questions about posting on Facebook is “How Often is Enough – or Too Much?” The answer isn’t a simple one. The real question is “How often will my posts be seen by my visitors?” If you post too little, you defeat the whole purpose of being on Facebook, which is to stay top of mind and visible. If you post too much, you may become annoying, and even end up “Unliked” by visitors.

44 Excellent Free and For-A-Fee WordPress Themes

Thumbnail image for 44 Excellent Free and For-A-Fee WordPress Themes

A WordPress theme is simply a type of template that helps give your blog or website a “look and feel” with colors, layout and structure. Some themes have more features, bells and whistles like image sliders, fade-in/fade-out effects and embedded video capability. A theme “sits” on top of the underlying WordPress Content Management framework when you build a blog or website with the WordPress platform, and is usually customizable to some extent so that you can tailor the theme more specifically to your needs. When you choose a theme, you’re committing your site to the design possibilities and the limitations [...]
