COMMENT ON THE WEBPAGE, PLEASE! CLICK THE IMAGE! Another big sale item on Amazon! I’ve had my eyes on this for years and this one was on sale for 27% off the normal price, so I snagged this up.

The Problem with Social Media is People


  Years ago (nine, to be exact) when I started blogging on a blogosphere, we, all the bloggers, were told to ‘market’ our posts on the different social media sites.
