I often forget that what seems obvious, old-hat or elementary to some, can be the polar opposite to others… Today alone, I’ve had 3 separate enquiries from people needing help with Facebook business pages – all of them involving how to create a memorable URL or ‘pretty page name’, so I thought I’d share some [...]
Facebook Business – Getting a Pretty Page Name (Username)
‘Facebook Photo Zoom’ Browser Extension (Chrome & Safari)
Viewing images in Facebook is a bit of a faff… I know it’s only a few seconds, but having to click into an image to view it in what you hope will be a big enough size to be able to see any detail is particularly frustrating when you find the original size wasn’t worth [...]
Typepad, Guest Authors & Keywords
An email from a client who uses Typepad asks, “One of my guest authors is saying that there is no box on her post for keywords… ” This video explains how to fix the issue…
Video Tutorial: Inserting Images into Typepad Margins using a Typelist (Notes type)
Following on from my last video tutorial about how to split your post up in the new Typepad compose editor so you get the "Continue reading…" link on the front page of your blog, Bebe Jacobs of BeginAfresh.com has asked me to show her how to insert images into the side margins. Here are 3 [...]
Video Tutorial: Breaking Up Your Posts with Typepad ‘New Generation’ Compose Editor

A thumbs up to StumbleUpon
I keep on reminding Claire that she should get into Stumbleupon as another extension of her social media networking strategy… and she keeps on telling me that she will once I explain to her how it all works. There’s nothing like a challenge to get my creative juices flowing, so I decided to combine an [...]
Inserting Google AdSense into Typepad Blog Posts – Video Tutorial
Had an email from a client this morning asking about inserting Google AdSense into blog posts – as opposed to ‘in the margins’ as a Typelist. I’ve been meaning to start doing this myself so thought I’d knock up a quick ‘how to’ video on the topic. As you will see when you watch, my first [...]
PopShops.com – New Typepad Affiliate Widget
Gosh – I’m always doing this… starting a post and forgetting about it. Wrote this a couple of weeks ago! Came across a new Typepad Widget today. PopShops.com is described as an Affiliate Shop Builder. Here’s the blurb on this affiliate program ‘aggregator’ from Typepad’s Widget Gallery, "Imagine being able to add virtually any product [...]
