There's a change to the blog - can you see it?
It's only a wee change so it might not be too obvious. Ok, you got it - I've added the social media "share" buttons to the posts. Not really cos I'm looking to take over the social media world, but really to save me work and repetition (the original reason I set up the blog so no surprises there) - it's a bit repetitive and boring to be sharing the same story on Twitter, Facebook and the blog (in various forms of detail). rather than concentrating on one or the other, I decided to see if I could somehow link blog posts to Facebook.
So I googled it at work today and spent a confusing 15 minutes reading all the advice and trying to make sense of the instructions - javascript, code instructions, etc. Well, there's a reason I was a lawyer and not an IT person! In the middle of trying to work out which wee button to press on the "edit" page of the blog to add the appropriate (I hope) javascript, I found a completely unrelated "share" box to tick and tried that.
Lo and behold - suddenly all the posts had the Twitter, FB, Pinterest etc buttons on the bottom! No requirement for code of any kind - what a relief!
So I'm in the 21st century at last. Not asking anyone else to share any posts, just going to link to them on FB - I hope.
