Funny Video: What is a ‘Browser’?
By · CommentsI just stumbled upon the funniest video asking the ‘man on the street’ : What is a Browser? It’s amazing how many people in the general public don’t know what a ‘Browser’ is. (in case you want to know, here is the Wikipedia definition of a browser)
Watch this video, it’s short and very funny!
We often take it for granted that people know some of these basics, but in fact many don’t yet. And it reminds me to remind you not to overlook terminology when you communicate with your audience. It’s ok when you speak to your audience using some basic terms. They will appreciate it and give them an orientation and context for your material.
Go Grab Your Facebook Name Now
By · CommentsLast night Facebook opened up ‘vanity’ names. That means that you can now have your name on Facebook like this: www.Facebook.com/christinahills
Now, as you probably realize, many people have the same name on facebook. Just go look and you will be amazed how many of YOU there are out there.
So if you want your name, you should go get it now. And here’s how you do it:
- Log into Facebook.
- Then go to http://www.Facebook.com/username
- Once you are there, it will show you the names you can pick from. And if you click on the ‘more’ link it will let you select a different name.
- Select the name you want by checking the box or typing in your full name.
- You are done!
(For example I picked ‘christinahills‘ as one word instead of ‘christina.hills‘ with the ‘.’ in the middle)
So if I were you, I’d take the 2 min now and go to this special page on Facebook
http://www.Facebook.com/username
and pick the name you want for your vanity URL before someone else grabs your name.
(Note: if you friend me on Facebook, then put down you are one of my subscribers so I know who you are)
You can friend me on Facebook here

My friend Paul Colligan did a great video on getting a Google Profile and getting your Facebook name. See it below

I’d wait at least a few days for the dust to settle before installing it on your website. (In case they need to make some fixes to it).
There are some really cool new features to make working with WordPress even easier! Like installing themes from inside your dashboard, and working with widgets.
Here is a video with the new features
