I always thought I was familiar with Twitter and Facebook because I’ve been using them daily for quite a few years. But I knew there were more aspects of the site that I wasn’t too familiar with. I also thought I knew what some things were for, like a hashtag, but realized I didn’t.

I didn’t know how I could put a Twitter or Facebook link onto my blog, but after watching a video I learned I could use widgets to put boxes and links directly onto my page. I can put a Twitter feed, follow button, Facebook like buttons, and more on my page. I found them with the adding Twitter to your blog video. After following the directions and creating a new twitter, I also discovered that I could do the same thing with Facebook. There are countless numbers of different widgets to use and put right on my blog.

My ah-ha moment was realizing how much more things I could add to my blog. I look at other blogs and they look so much more professional then mine because they have all these “add ons”. I discovered it’s a lot easier to add all of these elements onto my blog. It also helps the idea of the “bundle”, as in more than just one aspect to promote the company. The links to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and countless other sites really help to promote and put my blog out there. It gives people even more chances of coming across my blog because there are so many different platforms it’s publicized on.
