If you recently switched over to the “new Facebook” page layout, you may have noticed you are not seeing updates of some of your friends. Last year, I did a HOW TO post on personalizing your Facebook feeds. Well, it seems Facebook has changed this option completely and reset the option for everyone. Here’s what you have to do to fix it:
Tweet So, if you follow me on Twitter, you are aware by now that the past 4 days, I had the WORST stomach bug…EVER. Not only was I nauseous and running to the bathroom (gross!), but also was fatigued and had a fever. I got it from my landlord’s toddler…I went up to visit her…
Last September, I posted a Wordless Wednesday – Get Well Soon Lindsay. The post featured the many mugshots of Lindsay Lohan, at the time, four in total. Those arrests were all drug-related. Her 5th mugshot will be for a felony. The actress pled not guilty today to one count of felony grand theft of personal property related to a $2,500 necklace taken from a store in Venice, CA in January. Lohan insists that she only “borrowed” the necklace, with permission of the store owners so that they could get free publicity when she wore it out at events.
ZAGG, creator of the InvisibleShield screen protector for mobile phones as well as creator of many kick-ass contests, has announced their newest giveaway promotion: iPad-a-Day! The promotion began last Monday February 1st, when they started giving away an iPad every single day. Each day is a new contest and a new chance to win.
Tweet Did you know there is a way to go completely stealth on Facebook? Concerns about privacy issues on the site are rampant, yet with over 2 million sites across the web using Facebook Connect, you are at a disadvantage not to have an account. If you currently don’t have a Facebook account and have…
Tweet I’m sure you’ve heard the term “a happy wife is a happy life,” but now according to a study performed by the researchers at the University of Tennessee, “a skinny wife is a happy life” may be more accurate. Or, even more accurately, “a skinnier wife is a happy life.” The study followed 165 newly-married…
Tweet I am breaking the normal schedule today to post this, since today, Friday, January 28th, 2011 is National Data Privacy Day. It is no wonder Facebook launched a new option to experience the site over HTTPS today of all days. If you frequently visit Facebook from a public internet connection found at coffee shops, airports,…
Tweet Antoine Dodson is getting his own reality show…run and TELL THAT, HOMEBOY. According to Billboard, Dodson is shooting a pilot for an unnamed reality show about him moving out of Alabama and to Hollywood following the success of The Bed Intruder Song. The show doesn’t have a network yet either – who wants to…
Tweet Two years ago today, on January 22, 2009, my boyfriend of over 3 years, Harry, passed away. Last year, I had a really hard time with this day, and this year isn’t much better. I know he is still here with me. He sends me signs all the time, usually in the form of…
Tweet Happy Friday everyone! I haven’t posted a Flashback Friday since last year, when I did a Best of 2010 roundup. In case you missed it, the last Flashback Friday I posted prior to my end of year post was on Facebook. This week’s topic is Reviews! Below are some previous blog posts about different products and…
Tweet Yes, I am one of those people who actually enjoy the MTV show Jersey Shore. And not because it is quality programming. It is just like a car crash. You want to look away, but you just can’t. I’ve even made my family watch it. First my Dad, who I made watch a 3…
Tweet There is more snow on the way for Long Island. And it’s a significant amount. What does that mean exactly? Some meteorolgists say this means 6″+. Some say 8″+. Some say 10″+. Does that mean 24″ of snow we got during the Holiday Blizzard of 2010 is SUPER significant? What does a significant amount…
Tweet After much thought and consideration, I decided to pool my birthday and Christmas money and purchase an XBOX Kinect bundle to add to my existing XBOX 360. The bundle comes with one game, Kinect Adventures and I bought Dance Central to play on it as well. I hadn’t played a game on the system in over…
Tweet It is the last day of 2010, and it also happens to be a Friday, so I figured it would be the perfect day to do a Top 10 of 2010 post. In case you missed it, the last Flashback Friday topic was Facebook. The top 10 blog posts of 2010 (based on reader popularity) are: 10….
Tweet Just wanted to wish a happy holidays to each and every one of you that visit Basically Becky on a regular basis. And if you’re here for the first time, happy holidays to you too;)
Tweet This post is long overdue, as the trip was a few weeks ago, but it feels like just yesterday that I was sipping on Rum Punch on the beach in Barbados. It was almost a year ago that I won the Long Island Press “It Pays to Tweet The Press” Contest. The grand prize…
Tweet I felt it coming on since I returned from Barbados. I thought I could fight it by taking lots of Vitamin C and getting lots of rest. This kept it at bay for about a week, but eventually, it won. I am now laying in bed, surrounded by tissues and boxes of cold medication….
Tweet Happy Friday everyone! My blog post about my Barbados trip is a work in progress, so in the meantime, here’s a Flashback Friday post. In case you missed it, last week’s topic was Dave Matthews Band. This week’s topic is….Facebook! Below are some previous blog posts about Facebook (in no particular order): HOW TO: Personalize Your…
