This may be useful, or serve no purpose, depending on your use of Social Media to promote your message, or your business. Below you’ll see an embedded Tweet that came from a post I put on Facebook, with a link back to an article on my personal blog. So, posting this here now, in some ways closes the loop. Perhaps I need a graphic to illustrate this concept?
Recently, my business has seen an increased focus on website and blog creation. I’m pretty sure my blogs would see far less traffic if I did not share my posts on Social Media. If you’d like to have more visitors to your business website, it makes sense to create content that helps people find you. The end result is the KLT value you get by giving prospects the opportunity to see and hear what you are willing to share about your interests. On my personal blog, I talk about anything that moves me (at times, even painful topics) that merely serve my need to continue writing.
Sometimes, I just spew onto a blank page whatever comes out. This is one of those……. https://t.co/sXjCnzH9Xa

1990 Neology – go ahead, say it out loud.
It’s fun to say, because alliteration is fun.

There are good reasons for choosing either of these options.
*You’ll learn WordPress to some degree with either, or both options – it is an imperative.
We are going to explore the 1st option here.
First, let’s oversimplify things.
Here are three steps for starting a blog.
None of these is any easier than the others, and each step depends upon your approach, preconceived notions, and decision making skills.
Leaving creativity out of this process will make things go quickly and get us to our ultimate goal of having a fully functional blog where we can then feel free to express our creative skills.
So, we build the frame, then paint the picture! (Put down your paintbrush and think, “structure.”)
Congratulations!
One of my business associates, from DNP, Greg Kain, asked me about a drop-down menu and I had to step into the “way back machine“, to rediscover my HTML and CSS roots. In the end, I created a web page to demonstrate the simplest approach to a drop-down menu, based on an example provided by one of my many hosting providers.
If you had a simple, “add my social media sites” button you could use whenever some new website asks you for these details, would it save you some time?
I’m working on it!
My issue was that I could not remove the directory “windows.old” after upgrading to Windows 10.
So, I asked Cortana and got this:
Delete your previous version of Windows
One month after you upgrade to Windows 10, your previous version of Windows will be automatically deleted from your PC. However, if you need to free up disk space, and you’re confident that your files and settings are where you want them to be in Windows 10, you can safely delete it yourself. Keep in mind that you’ll be deleting your Windows.old folder, which contains files that give you the option to go back to your previous version of Windows.
Deleting your previous version of Windows can’t be undone.
Go to Start, enter Settings in the search box, and then select Settings.
Select System > Storage > This PC and then scroll down the list and select Temporary files.
Under Previous version of Windows, select Delete previous versions and then select Delete.
Help from Microsoft – Was this helpful?
Not just, “yes,” but heck yeah!!!
Pointing out the difference between Settings and Control Panels seems obvious to me, now. Because of my experience, I’m prone to taking shortcuts with Windows. So, I was thinking that if I was to open the System (settings), why not just click start and type, “system” in the search field – which I did. Then I chose the System control panel and could find no place there that would allow me to get to “storage.” However, if I type “storage” into the search field, I am presented with “Storage, System settings” as the top result. Choosing that puts me on the path to solving the problem, in accordance with the instructions provided by Microsoft.
Do you need help with getting Windows 10 up and running on your computer? Or, maybe your website needs some sprucing up, or you’ve always wanted to start a blog, but you didn’t know where to begin!
Drop me a line or give me a call and I will help you with anything related to communications and computers.
Answering my own question about why I speak so passionately about blogging…. Last night, I was privileged to be part of an engaging conversation about things related to social media and I launched into an impassioned explanation of how blogging connects your personality to your business. This was one of those times when I wished I had had the opportunity to capture my words, so I could more easily put them into a blog post!
Now, I’ll have to ponder further how to put into words and pictures the idea of “know you, like you, trust you….” and how to achieve that through writing a blog and posting on social media.

This weekend, I’m going to craft an email message to send to my desert networking professionals. With that message, I am going to offer some of my time, “for free” – not that I have free time…. What I would like to do is interview anyone who is interested and write an article that I will post on my blog. This article (if I do it right) will have plenty of opportunities for links back to the affected business website.
I’m not clear on the benefit to me for providing this service, but I’m hoping to understand that at some point. Clearly, the original goal here is to see if anyone will actually accept this offer of free service. Perhaps something that is offered at no cost is also perceived to be of no value.
I’ll keep you posted on the results of this experiment. You will, of course, have to come back to my blog, my Facebook page, or follow me on Twitter, or any of the other places I’ll post about this, to keep up with progress. Maybe that is one of the few benefits I will receive by doing this here.
