I’m not a big facebook-er. Signed up a few years back and just never really saw the point. I know, with this website and all you’d think I’d be more active with ALL social media. Something about facebook just always rubbed me the wrong way. I think I have a whopping 5 friends on it and never pay it any attention. I recently had to get more involved in it on behalf of the candidate whose campaign I’m working on and had a really bad experience with a silly punk who decided to use it as a harassment tool. Tool is right. The whole mess just kind of reinforced my feeling about the level of maturity of people on the site (present company excluded, of course). Now facebook is somewhat under fire for their new (lack of) privacy issues so I think I’m just going to sit on my heels awhile longer and wish for the trend to dissipate. Yeah right, right? Anyway…
I just had another experience that made me actually ENJOY the level of maturity on facebook when I got an email informing me that someone posted a link on my wall. I had to look:
Oh Jenna – I mean Peacechick – you rock! You’re very welcome for the thing a maging. Let’s get back out on the course again soon so you can use it! I’m sure you didn’t get in much trouble for posting on your mom’s facebook – after all, you didn’t give yourself unsupervised access to it. 
Note to readers: Jenna’s one of my favorite little golfchicks, a terrific big sister to Kate, and they along with their mother Darla and dog Bailey are wonderful neighbors. The “thing a maging” in question is a golfchick logo’d divot tool. I’m working on some posts covering my recent trip to the 2010 Mesquite Am (if you were there you just might have your own “thing a maging,” which is now its official name) so stay tuned!

Facebook is a funny thing. I find people either love it, or hate it. I think you are right though, being a blogger, social media is a great way to get traffic. Cheers

When it comes to “all things social media” I consider Facebook strictly personal and don’t involve it in any business ventures. I find it works best to use LinkedIN and Twitter instead.
Great post!

I agree with Nicole. Facebook is strictly for personal use. I can make it as private a I like, and only share my page with whom I decide.

I agree with you, the whole facebook thing is overplayed and silly. I had to block some of my own family members from posting on my wall because they are just so negative about everything. I also had to block them from my news feeds on there because I just could not deal with it. If facebook was used properly to share things like pictures and talk about things like golf, sports, and fun stuff, then it would be fine, but politics, religion, and sex do not belong on facebook.

I’m not a fanatical facebooker, but it’s great for sharing info, photos, and news. Although the drama that shows up on there is probably better suited for e-mails and text messages.

Hi there this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
