I have 3 school aged boys and I know the day will come soon when the eldest will start pestering me for an email account and facebook. Luckily, I haven’t had to deal with any of that yet. It frightens me though. It’s probably something I can’t control. I can…

What is a good blogger?
Today, I feel like blogging about blogging. I feel like spreading some blogging cheer. Who is feeling lost in the BIG sea of the blogging world? It can feel like that sometimes hey? Yesterday I felt a little lost when a publicity company told me to keep up the good…
Everyone is Instagramming
I’ve been bitten. It’s got a hold on me! Who doesn’t love a good selfie? LOL! Taking photos of my every move has become an addiction. And we all know I get addicted to things easily (ummm like twitter!). So Instagramming my entire life has become a little project of mine. I’ve…
Never ever look back
I was reading some blog posts the other day giving advice on social media. Boy, aren’t there are a stack of bad and confusing posts out there? If you’re new to the game, you could be left feeling overwhelmed and frightened! Do this, do that, don’t do this… I love…

To tweet or not to tweet?
Ever wondered whether twitter is for you? I am a fan of the twitterverse. That’s no secret. I’m an over-sharer. That’s no secret. You either are or you aren’t and I’m cool with that! I can be a real pain in the bum to my in-real-life friends when I start rambling on…

I have a new computer program, so I’d thought I’d try it out with a simple tutorial for the Comment Settings on a blogspot blog. Note: If you use the new interface in your Dashboard – switch back to the old one. Go to the right-top, click the cog and…
