Tweet Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know that one of my pet projects, Bannerize.me, will soon be phased out due to the upcoming Facebook profile changes. I decided that instead of letting all that hard work go to waste, I would send all current Bannerize.me users to a new site, Coverize.me. There are hundreds…
I am TOTALLY geeking out this week. Really, more than normal. First, there is Google+ which is taking up all of my free time. Then comes Spotify, which basically makes pretty much every song ever recorded 15 million songs available to stream on demand on your computer. For FREE!!! Since getting my account, it has taken my 3,500 song iTunes library and multiplied it by…a lot.
Tweet NOTE: Facebook isn’t happy about this workaround and is trying to put a stop to it. I’ve heard it still works for some but not for everyone. Since the recent launch of Google+, Facebook has frantically shut down any Google Chrome extension or tool that allows you to retrieve your friend’s email addresses. They…
Tweet Hi everyone! Sorry no posts lately…have had a lot going on. I hope to resume regular posting here in a week or two. For the past few weeks I have been launching bannerize.me. The site has over 500 banners up already and more are being added daily. If you haven’t already, go check it…
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:
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 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 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 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…
Tweet Just a quick note to bring attention to my new contact page. I have purchased a developer license from Gravity Forms and will be using them on all future sites I develop. It is a WordPress plugin that allows you to create complex contact forms with ease. My current contact form is hardly complex, but…
Tweet I am an extremely loyal consumer, and when I see companies using social media to reach out to their customers, it makes me like them even more. One company who has impressed me with their use of Twitter is GoDaddy. I have hosted Basically Becky through GoDaddy.com since my site’s inception in June 2009. I had…
Tweet If you haven’t noticed already, my site has been changed up just a bit. My site was built using Headway, a customizable theme for WordPress. The old Headway, version 1.6 was great….but the new Headway, version 2.0 is FANTASTIC! I still have lots to update, including my Twitter Backgrounds and Portfolio pages. Instead of…
Tweet I recently partnered up with Debra from Familylicious Reviews to offer one of her readers a free Twitter Background design by yours truly! If you aren’t already familiar with Familylicious, it is a blog that does product reviews and giveaways. Do you like entering contests online to win free stuff? If so, you should definitely…
Tweet This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of USC. All opinions are 100% mine. Have you always wanted to become a teacher, but life has kept getting in the way of you going back to school? Well, now there is no excuse! University of Southern California (USC) Rossier School of Education…
Tweet I will admit it, I have become addicted to GetGlue. If you’ve never heard of it, the site can best be described as Foursquare for those that prefer to chill at home. And, lets face it, that’s pretty much where I am most of the time. With GetGlue, can check into TV shows and movies…
Tweet I recently heard about this new site called The Something Store. Here is an excerpt from their site that explains exactly what it’s about: SomethingStore is a fun website that operates simply: We will send you something, an item selected randomly among many things from our inventory, for $10 (free shipping in the US) and…
I was so honored to be asked to be a guest on the Striker Corbin Motivational Program on BlogTalkRadio.com. In the hour that we had, we spoke about the Save Becky story which led to how I first got involved with Social Media. We discussed Facebook, Twitter and how they work together and I also gave some tips for people tweeting for the first time as a business or on your own page. If you missed the show, you can listen to it in it’s entirety below.
Tweet It was recently brought to my attention by @jselss that Google saves your web history and has been doing so for some time. Now, they are also using this information to fine-tune any searches you do. See Google’s explanation of Personalized Search below: I understand that Google is trying to make their search engine…
