These fan pages look a particularly good way to go. Thanks for the tips. By the way I love the design of your site!

Using the personal page more publicly, though, means that I have to be careful about not sharing too much personal stuff.

My added FB content is a mash-up of interesting links, animal videos, photos of my artwork in process, and silly little thoughts that cross my mind. All of this seems to humor my followers.

If you post added content, they are more likely to go check your whole profile and see all of your posts.

Posting content that is interesting to people endears you to them, as well.<br><br>I use my personal page more than my fan page, but I do use the fan page to show works in progress and post things that have to do with the Canton Arts District.

I have been playing around with StumbleUpon, and I just recently figured out how to add recommended sites. But it would have taken me forever to figure out what you just explained for FB. A great post and thanks again.<br><br>PS, What is ping? Thanks so much Liz! I have been playing around with StumbleUpon, and I just recently figured out how to add recommended sites.
