For several months I've been seeing a lot of hype about Facebook and the fact that some fans don't see the posts from the pages they have "liked". From what I've been able to learn, Facebook does not push out every single thing you post to your fans. It decides what might be of interest to someone based on how they use Facebook and interact with the pages they "like". So what can you do to help make sure that you see the things you want to see? Comment, like, and share posts from your favorite pages. In addition, Lindsey at the Pleated Poppy shared some tips on how to add a page to your news feed or how to create an interest list. This is a "Fabulous Friday find" if you want to use Facebook to keep up with your favorite blogs and companies. If you're using Facebook to promote your blog or business, then the best advice I can find is to build your fan interaction . Also, don't just post links to your stuff- Facebook may decide...

  Have you noticed my new look? I changed the header and added some social media buttons. For today's Fabulous Friday Finds , I wanted to give a shout out to Pink Moustache.  They have the icons I used as a free download. Need to know how to install social media icons? Check out Beautiful Dawn Designs tutorial. Want to add  "pin it" button to your posts? I followed this tutorial . You can also use this tutorial (the control+F tip is a lifesaver). Another neat bloggy find for this week is this tip on " How to see if your photos are being used on another site". Have a great weekend!

I try and make an effort to visit each of you from time to time but often discover that there is no blog link in your Google Friend connect profile. That's okay. Maybe you don't have a blog.  Or may you do and just didn't realize you could post a link. I don't think I've had a link in my own, until now. I was curious about this issue so I did a little "googling". I found this site with   a tutorial on how to add your web links to your profile.   No need for me to rewrite - just go to the link and check it out. And add your link to your profile. It will give you more blog exposure and I can visit you!
