How To See Sites In Your Facebook News Feed

If you want to see PinkMama's Place  (or any page you want ) in your News Feed than follow the below steps.  Do this with all the Facebook Pages you want to see in your news feed.  
1. Go to PinkMama's Place
2. Hover over the “LIKE" button. 
3. Click the “LIKE" button- if you haven't already!
4. Now hover over "LIKED" again and confirm “Show in News Feed” is selected

6. Hover over 'LIKED' again and click 'add to interest list' either a list you already have or make a new one. Then just look at the list when you are on Facebook.
7. Also can click on GET NOTIFICATIONS- so that means every time I post you will get a notifications.  I don't do this with all pages I like just ones that I don't want to miss out on- for example there are a couple blogs that have giveaways everyday so I want to know about that. 
8. Now I hope you see my updates more!
Another way to see my updates more is to LIKE AND ENGAGE with my posts.  

What is a Facebook Interest List?

It's a way to stay on Facebook even longer- Oh Geez!  Just kidding of course but I see myself looking at these lists daily now. 


Looks like you can create lists for your News Feeds by subscribing to your favorite interests.  You can subscribe to other people's list or create your own.  You make your list public, just for friends, or just you can see it.  I love how custom we can make our lists.

I found how to get there by:

• click on HOME (right hand upper button)
• click on MORE left hand side columns (mine was under Apps) 
• click on Add Interests
• it will give you suggestions and I went through and subscribed to several lists that I liked,
• you can make you own lists too by clicking on Create List button- right hand side upper corner- See red circle (below). 

I subscribed to DIY Home Decor, Recipes, Reality TV Shows, Social Media 

I made my own list: I love Giveaways- you can subscribe to it!

Have fun making your lists!

Do you have Spotify? You need it!

I'm LOVING Spotify! Every morning this week I grab my coffee, get on Facebook, turn on Spotify and ENJOY! I'm having fun making playlists and enjoying a wide range of music. I can let my family/friends know what I'm listening to on Facebook- even saw that my mom LIKED Bruno Mars after I posted it. Got my hubby hooked too, maybe he will stop buying music and just enjoy SPOTIFY, lol!

Here is more info: https://www.spotify.com/us/about/what/

Create a playlist -Click on ‘New playlist’ in the left column, give your playlist a name and then drag and drop the tracks you want included.  You can right-click a track or album and select ‘Save to’ and then ‘New playlist’. A single playlist can store up to 10,000 tracks, if you have the time or inclination

Have fun! 

Now I can listen to whatever I want when I'm cleaning house!!!

Thanks to Facebook I have a NEW NICKNAME

ShortStack and guess who is having so much fun calling me it....yep Lil Mama!  Then guess who told her to call me that...ummm my mom!  Thanks Mom!  But really I have Facebook to blame for this.

Last week I was working on fan landing pages for PinkMama's Place and Mr Airbrush Hands and I was using the site Shortstack to design them (which BTW the site ROCKS).  I "liked" the Shortstack site and it posted it on Facebook and my mom had so much fun with that one. 

Last night my daughter comes in room after calling me Shortstack for the 20th time ( and after having a conversation with my mom on the phone) and says " Mom your short and your stacked"  Ummm okay how she said it was fricken funny but she didn't realize exactly what she said because right after she said that she says "You stack books, clothes, and all kinds of things"  well you know what my hubby and I thought, right.  I am stacked! 

So thanks Facebook for the new nickname and the laugh.  At least my nickname from Lil Mama isn't as bad as what she calls her daddy "panties" I'm not sure how she came up with that name but I do know why...because it bothers him and she LOVES to pick on him. 

Organizing Facebook "Likes"

I have over 1000 Facebook "likes"- from products, blogging friends, social media, stuff I want, kid pages, and so on...you get the picture.  I have a hard time keeping up with all the daily posts because there is a lot of posts going on through out the day...and who can spend all their time on FB is beyond me!   So I got this brilliant (lol) idea to organize the fan pages I like.  Facebook is very hard to understand or even maneuver around- or maybe it is just me.  But TODAY I figured it out and my life on Facebook is going to be so much easier.
Since I'm not a computer guru I won't have diagrams for you but I'll try my best to write out the instructions the best I can.
Create a LIST:

• Go to Account (right hand corner)
• Click on Edit Friends
• Click on Create a List- I called mine "Fan Pages"
• Click on all of your "Likes" (they are listed after your friends)- it will turn blue when you click on it- check

Need to ADD to a LIST:

• Click on your LIST (mine was called Fan Pages)
• Click on button "Add Multiple" 
• Click on whoever you want to add to the list

Each friend/like can be on multiple lists so now I'm going to organize my Fan Page list into sub categories like: Mom Bloggers, Social Media, Kid Stuff, Deals, and Misc.   

Now for the BEST PART....when I just want to look at ONLY my Fan Pages all I need to do is go to News Feed page click on "Fan Pages" and boom all my LIKES are in one page.  It usually says Top News - Most Recent...click on arrow by Most Recent and it gives you several options on what to look at!  I can look at only My Family posts if I want to.  Love it!!

I hope this helps someone organize their Facebook daily experience!  I know it will for me :)

30 Days to a Better Blog: Day 7 – Interlink

Today’s tip is a short one, but an important one. Get in the habit of interlinking (linking back to your own content) within the content of your post. Your blog isn’t a place to be shy and self-effacing. If you have good, relevant content – link back to it!


I know I don't do this and I'm a bit confused on how to do this...but I think it is telling us to use our OWN links in our posts. 

Don't forget to do FaceBook Friday http://pinkmamasplace.blogspot.com/2011/01/facebook-friday-lets-link-up.html

My Mom is coming to visit!

I'm EXCITED because she is also going to be here for my birthday.  I haven't spent a bday with my mom in a long time and yes I'm going to be 42 yrs old but I still get all giddy knowing my mom will be here. 

(Someone special in both of our lives bought a ticket for her...THANK YOU Jody!)
I'm just happy she is coming to see my new home, we've been here a year and LOVING IT!  This house really changed our lives for the better and I just want her to see what a big difference from the last place we were at.  She is going to be so happy!

My mommy is coming!!!

Pam Allen Online

I've been learning social media for a couple months now and I'm moving towards becoming a Social Media Manager. 

I have my own website: http://pamallenonline.com/  Facebook: PamAllenOnline  Twitter: pamallenonline

The site is going to be my journey into Social Media Marketing.  I want my niche to be MOM BLOGS but for now I'm working on my husband's airbrushing site http://mrairbrushhands.com/ and I've been bringing him business every week by posting his info on Facebook, Twitter, Craigslist- just getting his info out there.  He is so proud of me.  I'm proud of myself too!

Other Projects:

• Admin on Facebook for my kids school.
• This week will start a Facebook page for the cafe I work for- hoping to bring in more customers during the week. 

I'm excited to share what I've been learning and even more excited to implement what I've learned! 

We don't have a choice on whether we do social media but the question is how well we DO IT!  Quote by Erik Qualman
