There’s an element of our society that I’ll never understand. Well, there are probably many, but specifically, it’s the people who cook up stories and post them online and wait for their falsehoods to spread. I’m not talking politics or scandals here, but just … Read More

Time to Try something new! I test drove Facebook’s new Wordpress plugin and in the process learned how to set up a child theme, but there’s always more to learn isn’t here?… Read More

This is the last post on the subject of Facebook and Edgerank for awhile, but today’s post is something I’ve had bubbling in the back of my head for awhile now. Each previous post on the subject this topic seemed too far off to … Read More

With great irony only a couple of days after my last post on Facebook’s new promote feature, I posted a new photo to my Facebook page and it wasn’t even relevant to me! Seriously, the only place my own post on my page appeared … Read More

I’d been reading various places that Facebook was going to roll out “promoted posts” soon – most interestingly, the earlier bits of info. I’d read on it indicated it was for individuals not Facebook Business pages, i.e. you’d pay for your friends to read … Read More

It’s fun when something amusing happens in the mist of misery! Okay, I exagerrate, but it’s allergy season and medicine puts a dent in it but at the peak of whatever pollens are hitting me, it’s never a complete reversal of the symptoms. This … Read More

My last three posts are something of a roller coaster, but this will probably be my last on the subject of Pinterest for awhile. As I explained previously, I’m good with people sharing my work so long as it links back to me. After … Read More

I was shell-shocked today to discover that one of my favorite teachers from High School, Mrs. Linda Beckum, passed away from cancer. Speechless because I had no idea, and because I suddenly realized that I had let more than a decade pass since I … Read More

Ah, I should so be working on my gallery revamp. It’s scary how much time I’ve devoted to it, but here’s hoping eventually it’s a more of  a peek into my mind when people visit my online print gallery. The aim, after all, was … Read More

Read a post on Facebook today linking to a Mashable article about Facebook opening the open graph more. In the past few months we’ve all seen posts in our feed and/or ticker noting that our friends are reading or listening to something. Starting tomorrow, … Read More
