If you have children old enough to be on Facebook, then you've probably had plenty of opportunity to use the platform to create “teaching moments” for your kids. There are the obvious lessons - “don’t post pics of yourself you don’t want your Grandma to see” and “don’t use foul language.” Other lessons include teaching your kids how to include or block certain groups when posting things that might be more appropriate for their friends.

April 24, 2012 By Roz Leave a Comment

Spruce up your blog with these seven ideas for spring cleaning.

Spring is that time of the year many turn to clearing out the clutter. They go through pantries, closets, and attics throwing out old items to make room for new ones to store. They sort through clothes, giving away too-snug items and discarding old, out-dated fashions. Carpets are cleaned, blinds scrubbed, and paint retouched. And the more effort put into spring cleaning, the greater the ability of enjoying all of the benefits of a uncluttered life. Spring cleaning isn’t just limited to our ... Continue Reading

February 6, 2012 By Janis Leave a Comment

Back up your Google Blogger or Blogspot account with these simple steps.

In recent weeks I’ve talked to three women bloggers who actually had their Google Blogger or Blogspot accounts mysteriously disappear – possibly for policy violations or other unknown causes -- two of which were permanently deleted representing years of hard work. That’s not even to consider what might happen if a blog on this service is ever hacked – the aftermath could be disastrous to have to deal with. For sure, the Internet these days isn’t working like clockwork as it used ... Continue Reading

August 4, 2011 By Janis Leave a Comment

Learn about resources available for you and your teen to harness everything Facebook has to offer, safely, as it becomes an inevitable part of their lives.
