Creative Ways to Use Facebook Business Pages – PC World Article
My 3rd article for PC World, 14 Creative Ways to User Facebook Business Pages, was published earlier this week.
This article is a slideshow presentation of Facebook pages that are doing something a little different with their Facebook pages, such as using staff book reviews for a library page or using videos for customer testimonials.
Cleaning Up Old Backups (and other files)
Last November I asked if you backed up your important data. I was having trouble with Windows and did a clean reinstall – I didn’t have too much down time because I have a backup plan for my important files and it was basically a matter of copying them over.
I also backup my websites and client sites. As I was reviewing my client files, I discovered that not only is it important to back up files regularly but that I should also review the data and get rid of files that I no longer need.
4 WordPress Plugins to Assist in Blacking Out Your Site to Protest SOPA on January 18th
Update: It looks like SOPA has been shelved for now but I still think it’s important to blackout our sites for the day to show how we feel about this issue.
On January 24th, the US Senate is voting on SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act. While the bill may sound like a good thing – who likes piracy? But, this bill is really an Internet Censorship Bill that will negatively impact any of us who have websites. According to Boing Boing, if I wanted to link to a site I would have to make sure that there was no copyright infringement ANYWHERE on that site – not just the page I wanted to link to. I would potentially have to check thousands if not millions of pages to verify that I could link to that site. And, if I didn’t take this precaution my ad revenue could be shut down, my domain confiscated and my IP address added to a blacklist.

Looking for Examples of Unique and Creative Custom Facebook Pages
I’m looking for your help.
I’m working on an article that will feature custom Facebook pages that are being used in creative or unique ways.
Please leave your links in the comments. If for any reason you don’t want to leave a link in the comments, you can send it to me via my contact form.
And, it is very possible that your link / Facebook page would be featured in a major publication (not that this site isn’t major but WAY bigger ;-)
Thanks in advance for your help!

Sometimes You Have to Walk Away and Come Back Later
We all have the kind of days where nothing goes right. Everything you try to work on takes twice as long as usual, the computer crashes before you have saved what you were writing, your Internet quits while you are updating files, etc…
Recently I spent over an hour working on a theme I was creating and got nowhere. By the end of the hour, I replaced everything I had done with the original files and it felt like a wasted hour. When I went back to that project a day or two later, everything was fine and I finished the work quickly.
How to Edit the Boxes Below the Cover Photo on Facebook’s New Timeline Layout
Facebook’s new timeline layout is available. If you don’t already have it, you can get it on the About Timeline page. Facebook says it will be rolled out to all users on December 22nd. Either not many people have switched or people like timeline because my news stream has not been filled with people complaining about the new layout and threatening to leave Facebook forever. ;-)
I’ve found it easy enough to edit and remove content but I could not figure out how to edit the boxes to the right of the basic info about me and just below the cover photo. A friend of mine on Facebook cleared that up so I thought I would share it here, if anyone else was having trouble with this.
How to Add Your Custom Facebook Application to Your Page (now that the view app profile page link is gone)
If there is one thing to say about Facebook it’s that they are not resistant to change.
It feels like every time I turn around, something has changed and I need to do things differently that I’ve been doing them.
And this happened to me earlier this week when I was creating an iframe application for a new Facebook page tab.
