We’re working on some new online/social media pieces for DCCCD.
As I noted the other day, I of course took the opportunity to feature my wife in one of the videos.
Enjoy!

Leaving out first person personal pronouns
I’m finding that more and more I’m leaving out personal pronouns in emails, blogs and social media.
Especially at the beginning of messages.
So rather than, “I’m drinking French Roast coffee today” I write, “Drinking French Roast coffee today.”
Or yesterday in an email, “Working on a website and thought about this…”
I’m sure it’s related to social media status updates but I wonder why. What brought about the change in my/our language?
Photo settings
I’ve been tweaking my photo settings here on the website since I first starting using Pressgram (partially because I can – I have full control over my photos! :-)).
I’ve posted them to the regular stream of posts, I’ve hidden them from the regular stream of posts and now I’m posting them again.
Personally, while more serious bloggers likely have a real reason for hiding their photos from their regular stream of content – I’m thinking I really don’t.
I’m moving this blog more and more to my online hub vs just a blog that I use for long-form posts, so it makes sense that you would see everything in one stream.
But I’m curious, what do you think?
Do the photos annoy you? Would you rather click to see them (click Photostream in the top menu or sidebar)? Or would you rather see them as regular content when you visit the site?
I’m all ears. Share you comments below.
A social media experiment

They all cried “Crucify!”… But He never said a mumblin’ word…
We nailed Him onto a tree… But He never said a mumblin’ word…
They did ME wrong… and I moaned about it to my wife, on Twitter, on Facebook and my blog.
How to Share on Twitter with a wp.me short URL
A while back I shared a simple tip on how to add a Share on Twitter link to your WordPress blog…
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=<?php echo urlencode("Currently reading: "); ?><?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="Share this article with your Twitter followers">Tweet this!</a>
But if your URL’s are too long and you’d like a more concise Tweet — there are a few other options for doing this as well (without using plugins).
