Posting Blog Entries To Facebook

So, when Tony started this blog for us he also set up a service so that people could sign up to be notified via email when we would put a new blog post up. This was back before he and I, or many of our family were on Facebook. Now that we are on Facebook, many of the people that keep track of us are not signed up with that service so they aren't aware when we put something new up. Tony found a new service that we are testing out for the first time with this post. Hopefully if it works, anytime I post a new entry, this service will automatically put a brief post on my Facebook timeline letting people know that there is a new blog entry and should give a link for it as well.

The service he is using for this is called IFTTT. It stands for If This Then That. So he's set it up that essentially IF there is a new blog post THEN post a brief message and link on Facebook. Well, enough typing....here it goes! Cross your fingers!

I'll miss the email notifications, but this may work just as well as I did see this notification. Mom
