Customizing a Facebook Page

I assisted a client to create a customized FaceBook image for her business page. Val Nelson is a career and business coach who makes it easy for her clients to find clarity and confidence so they can follow their hearts…and make a living.

Customizing your FaceBook page visually: attracts the readers’ eyes to your page,
it helps the reader relate to you on a personal level, and it should assist with boosting the Google search engine optimization for Val’s overall online presence.

Of course, having a beautiful image to work with really helps.  I was able to use the color element to work into the customized treatment of Val’s FaceBook page and further support her overall branding design.

What do you think of Val’s new FaceBook page? I would love to hear your comments.

Social Media Landscape 2011

Fred Cavazza has done an extraordinary job pulling the Social Media Landscape into this Blooms Taxonomy.

It is interesting to see how Facebook and Google form the hub, I’d include Twitter in there as well.  I also am liking Tumblr again.

What a whirlwind conference!

Jam packed with fabulous people and information….going to conferences reminds me how much I love to learn. Add that to the MIT Microsoft NERD building and the view over the Charles River and it all adds up to a great weekend.

In fact, much of the PodCampBoston 2010 was about social media.  Unlike PodCampBoston 2007 which focused on the production of podcasts, this year it was all about the application of podcasting, videocasting, blogging and all the social media and the applications of those media.

One very wonderful presentation [amongst so many] was given by Tamsen McMahon on Social Media. I liked this because it really pulls out the hype of social media and brings us back to the real reasons of ‘why’ to engage in social media.

Playing with BuddyPress

By in 21st Century Learning Skills, BuddyPress, Creativity, Design, Social Networking, WordPress

With the upcoming WordCampNYC 2010 and some other projects I have been playing around with BuddyPress again.

ACoterie

Coterie is a French word for a group of people who associate closely, a clique or inner circle.  Seems a fitting name for an online community….@ least at this stage and until we get the final kinks worked out of the functionality of this type of community site and what we want to do with it.  I must say, Steve Bruner does great job explaining the installation of both WordPress and BuddyPress in this video.
