Wood Pallet Wine Rack

This weeks project will be for the wine lovers out there. I am going to show you how to make a wine bottle and wine glass holder.
This week I want to tell you about one the fun projects you can do with old wooden pallets. If you can find an old wooden pallet at a local business that they are throwing out they work great for a worn-out rustic look. You will want to find a pallet that has the right amount of wear but none of the tear. You want old looking boards, but no split or broken boards.
Then you need to decide how big your shelf is going to be. This depends on how much room you have and how much wine you will have. Give yourself about 3 ½ inches per bottle for the length of the shelf. Each glass will be spaced 3 ½ inches apart as well.You can choose to leave it raw wood, painted or stained.

Facebook Privacy Settings

This week I want to tell you what the awesome world of Facebook is all about and how you can use privacy settings.
Privacy settings protect your personal information or anything you don't want people to see.

When you log into your Facebook home page there is a “Lock” icon in the top right corner of the screen. Click that icon and select "See More Settings".  This allows you to control who can see your activity and what activity they can see. You can control tags you are in (posts and pictures). You can control what comes up in your feed or on your timeline. You can also, choose who can search you, who can contact you and you can block people.

Now I would like to tell you how I personally have my privacy set. I normally keep my page as an open to view my profile. I don’t post very personal information and I keep things professional. One of the privacy settings I use is the one that allows me to review tags of me in pictures or posts. I just feel more comfortable reviewing them before they show up my page. This way I can accept or decline the tag. On my Facebook I don’t show my address, and I don’t include my phone number. Part of this is for safety reasons. If I want you to know these things I will tell you. This information is for my real friends not “Facebook Friends”

I have Tweeted my permalink from Twitter to this site. I hope you're enjoying the different ways you can use Facebook, Twitter, and Blogspot.com for a business.

Have fun and enjoy!

Twitter, and what it is all about!

This week I want to tell you what the awesome world of Twitter.

Twitter is a social networking account that allows people to share pieces of their lives. A Twitter post is called a Tweet. Twitter users can send and read Tweets. Tweets are limited to 140 characters, so they are kept short. They are written shorthand. They use abbreviation, acronyms, slang, and almost their own language. Full sentences and proper grammar are rarely used. Tweets use Hashtags # and the @ symbol to link Tweets and users.
What I find impressive about twitter is the business aspects of it. It is wonderful for promoting your company. On twitter you can Tweet about your company’s promotions, deals, discounts, or just about anything. It is a fast and easy approach in the big marketing scheme. It is crucial that your company has a Twitter account (and uses it).
Although there are a lot of pros about twitter there are some cons. Some of the cons are that twitter tends to have a lot of overused information. People can post false information. The positives are how fast and easy good information can spread. You can improve your customer service by reading what people are tweeting about you or about the latest trends.

There are different kinds of Tweets a business can do:
   Entertain tweet: Have a #smallbizday
   Inform tweet: New leaves #checkthemout #colors #newdealstoday
   EEI tweet: Fall is coming. Lets use painting to make it beautiful.
   EEI tweet 2: Art is life #painting #colors.

Now that I have told you what twitter is all about, I hope you consider using Twitter for your own business. It is a fast, fun, and easy way to promote your company!

Have fun and enjoy!
