I am sure I’m not alone in my aversion to social networking sites. It seems rather disturbing to me that people could be interested in the minutiae of others lives to the extent of what they ate for breakfast, have been watching on TV or bought in Tesco – does anyone really care or is it just a means of filling the vacant hours and minutes between interesting things happening in our lives…?
You may call me a hypocrite for this opinion as I am hoping you are sitting reading and being interested in my blog which, as you will be aware is about my crafty creations and I am about to tell you that I have now been dragged kicking and screaming into the social networking whirl – well it is a new year and perhaps I do need to modernise my outlook a bit!
Craftseller magazine has been extolling the virtues of Facebook and Twitter to get your business known to a wider audience and I have at last taken note.
Ever useful in situations where technology is key and I have no idea what I am doing, Andy was on hand to advise and guide me. At first I thought he was going to provide some simple tweeting lessons for the over 40s but after some discussion we agreed that perhaps Facebook was the place to start.
So I am now the proud owner of my own ‘Page’, or rather Pip’s Place has a page where all you lovely people can comment on what I’ve eaten for breakfast! Only joking, I will aim to keep the posts relevant to crafty matters, with the odd line about Pip and the rest of the household when the need arises. I will soon be posting some photos of items I have made for Valentine’s Day (these will be for sale shortly in my Folksy shop and at Crafters Corner at Traders in Littlehampton). Please do leave me a comment or ‘like my page’ (I think that’s the right phrase!) and spread the word about Pip’s Place.
Thank you dear readers!
