Why Will Facebook Timeline Help You

Tick Tick Tick, yes the clock is ticking  to  Feb. 10 when everyone will be changed over to  Facebook's new Timeline style page.

 I can hear the cries of NOOOOO! already.

                                  
Wait, just stop a minute, is it really that hard to figure out a new way of doing things?

Was it hard to change from standard to automatic in cars?

Will the change leave you feeling totally exposed and unprepared, or free to explore and  gain new confidence?

                                                                
You do have the option of deleting anything yo don't want shown. You can adjust your privacy settings so only selected friends see certain things. Remember your boss, or the college you applied to may be looking at your page. What will they see? Who do you want them to get to know?

Take the time right now and delete the unwanted and prepare for the Facebook that reads like a Sunday paper full of color photos and video and  all the things and people you"like".

Just like a birthday a gift coming to you on Feb. 10th. Be excited because it is shiny, new and exciting. All your friends will be there and you will find something in it you will be surprised to see - you  are the star! Just take a bit of time - you know you were going to sign on for hours anyway, now click your way around the new template. There is a lot there to love!

Make a page you love and you are proud to have the world see. Our social community that brings us together is just a few clicks away. Your new page will help you get back in touch, remember those not with you, support causes, and follow what's new in your world.

The new Facebook will keep what is important to you close to the top of your page. The funny video that cheers you up on the worst day will be right there. The family pictures, well you can now watch the kids grow right before your eyes! You will have better contact with your friends and a more information at our fingertips. I know you are going to love it, like a brand new toy.

My Web Presence is Dead

And Other Fear Factors

                                                                      
      This is your chance to  get over those technology fears and begin to build web presence for marketing through my workshop. Announcing the  4 hour in-depth version to be given in March.

It is being offered to anyone, as a pre-conference  at Sharing the Fire the Northeast Storytelling Conference sponsored by Lanes www.lanes.org  March 16 from 1-5 p.m.  in Albany, New York. All the details are on the Lanes website.

This is not just for storytellers, this will help anyone wanting a better grasp of the major platforms of the web. Artists, small business owners, agriculture business, Non Profits, social groups and more can benefit!  Everyone is welcome at Sharing the Fire!

Can you send an email? Do you have a lap top  that can come to the workshop with you? We will begin your campaign to  build a web presence from the ground up.

I promise to tell the story of how my web presence REALLY  was dead!
I will share  how I fixed it, what's next, and how you can work to fix yours.

Don't think you are going to sit there tied to your lap top for 4 hours...NO WAY!  This workshop will be fun and full of action.

This is what was said about the 90 minute version given at the 2011 CT.Storytelling Festival:

"This workshop validated what I was doing right, how to improve on what I was
doing, and how I could increase my presence even more. The hand out sheets
will not be used for scrap but uploaded into my resources page of my
computer. I have attended networking workshops in the past, but this one
spoke in a language I could understand and gave me time to ask questions. My
only drawback it could have been longer..and the facilitator set time limits
on the responses from the audience. I would highly recommend this workshop
to be extended for next year and if necessary, I would pay an additional
cost to attend. It is what we need as Artist to get through the tech mire
of the computer world."
Gwendolyn Quezaire-Presutti


"Carolyn took us through the basic steps but gave us so much more in the process. She seemed to know what our fears and our questions were and answered them before we could even ask. She gave clear and insightful information and encouragement to try new things and why it is important to do so."
Chris Rothe
