August Clean Up

by Jeanette

Cates Clean UpI’m up to my ears in my first day of cleaning, but I wanted to share a little bit of the background with you as I start this adventure.

You see, I was raised in the military. As a military child, and later a military wife, we moved every 1, 2 or 3 years. That meant that at least every 3 years, you had to sort through things in order to keep the “move weight” to a minimum.

But times have changed. My husband is no longer in the military – and hasn’t been for 35 years.

We’ve lived in this house for 28 years.

Basically, it’s time for a clean up!

Now add to that a couple of other houses that we’ve inherited from Read More→

The Challenge of RSS Feeds

by Jeanette

One of the observations I’ve made during the Blog Challenge is that many people were confused and confounded by the RSS feed.

First, let’s review WHY the RSS feed is important. It’s used by both individuals and search engines.

Individuals use the RSS feed to subscribe to the list of your blog articles. If they use an RSS reader (or their email program) it automatically updates each time you post an article. It’s an easy way for them to keep up with what you’re writing. Read More→

Social Media’s Impact

by Jeanette

We take social media for granted. After all, we’re tweeting regularly. We check our Facebook account several times per day – or per week. We probably have a LinkedIn account.

But it might all be relatively new to you. After all, these “social media” services haven’t been around THAT long. It was just a couple of years ago that no one knew what Twitter was and only college kids were using Facebook. You still talk to people who don’t know a Twitter from a tweet.

So what’s the state of social media? This video says it well:

Where do you see it going? There are just so many ways you could view this – and I’d love to get your input!
