What have I learned about blogging? And Facebook?

Sharing Posts

Sometimes I start to write a reply to a person or a picture on Facebook and I think, that would make a good blog post. 

However, when I shared a post from one website to another, I found I had many readers on blogger, far fewer on the copied version to Wordpress. My son, who works in CEO, explained that the search engines ignore the second version and direct people to the original, rather than the copy.

Hoping to get more readers, I copy the link to my blog post onto my Facebook page.

Copying from blogger to Facebook is easy and up pops the title and a picture.

Checking Spelling

In Facebook, if I go back to re-read, I often spot a spelling error and change it. If I copy from Facebook to blogger and find the spelling error in one, I then go back and change the other.

Adding Accents

To add the diacrtics (dots and so on above letters), if you cannot find them on your own keyboard, copy the words from a dictionary or anywhere on the internet. I often find that if I type a word into Google, up pops the correctly spelled word in its original language.

Once you have the correctly spelled and accented word in your own post, you can copy it elsewhere.

Likes

On Facebook I go back and like my posts and the replies. I heard that even liking your own post can boost the rating.
