So I’ve been experimenting more with Facebook and to be honest I still can’t tell what will work and what won’t at the moment – everything I know has gone out the window!

Also the Instagram icon changed colours and everyone wigged out, and the chronological timeline disappeared with minimum fuss. Unless you fussed. Did you fuss? Does it bother you at all?
Anyway, here’s what I found this week that piqued my interest (and reminded me about stuff I had forgotten, which is a bonus!)
