Holy Gatling Gun, Batman! That’s FAST! 4 weeks in 2!

“Yes, Robin. You can now take the Social Media Marketing Framework class from lept Like A Blog in two weeks instead of four!”

“Holy Overnight, Batman, does that mean we could have our Bat-blog and Bat-Twitter and Bat-Facebook set up before The Joker is released from prison?”

“Yes, Robin, at precisely the time when we need it the most we can visit the CyberWigwam and take two classes per week and be complete in 9 days!”

“I’ll start packing the bat-laptop”

“Yes, Robin, set your bat-calendar for Tuesday and Wednesday, 9-11am for July 19,20, 26,27. We’ll take the batmobile over to the CyberWigwam. Be sure to plug the coordinates into the Bat-navigator.

“You mean the GPS system, Batman?”

“Not technically, Robin, the bat-navigator includes our bat-sonar system in case we need to go underwater.”

Announcer:

“Will Robin get the coordinates right for the bat-navigator?” “Will Batman run out of bullets in his Gatling gun?” Find out at the next Social Media Bloggerfly class. Reserve your seat by Emailing Chief here or call 815-985-7075.

SCENE

The Bat Cave

Batman: “Yes Robin, Apis Videre, a highly intelligent, busy marketer that knows the value of a moving picture is worth a thousand words a thousand fold.”

Robin: “Sounds like a riddle to me.”

Batman:”Quite correct Robin, but don’t be fooled by his tricky nature.”

Robin:”What should we do Batman?”

Batman:”I’m afraid Robin, there is little we can do. This little stinger is just too much for our Bat brains to handle”

Robin:”The next thing you know he will be sporting QR codes on his wings!!”

Batman:”Robin! That’s it! Yes, you better load the QR scanner app into the Bat-phone. You very well have found our only chance…”

2 handed blogging – List of efficiency keys

Does Cutting and Pasting seem too tedious?

Is your left hand jealous of the right hand always having the mouse? Cutting and pasting can go lickedy-split if you get both the right hand and the left hand doing something. Did you realize that both Apple and IBM have short cut keys for that left hand to participate? Speed up your blog typing and let your fingers follow your brain faster by getting used to these handy shortcuts. The letters themselves don’t necessarily make a lot of sense but are placed so that it is easy for the left hand to manipulate. The letters used are on the lower left of the keyboard: Z, X, C, and V. For the computer to realize you want to do something special the ctrl (control) key is used on windows oriented keyboards. For Apple the “apple key” is used located to the left of the space bar. The short cuts are:
Ctrl-Z is undo
Ctrl-X is cut
Ctrl-C is copy
Ctrl-V is paste

And for those adventurous types you can venture from the bottom row and Ctrl-A is select all.

Facebook URLs – A quick way to Facebook branding

Tired of that long, goofy URL for your Personal or Fan page in Facebook? You’re in luck. A new capability allows you to create a “vanity” URL to help reinforce your brand identity.

The capability exists for both Personal and Fan Pages. It is really simple. First, log in to your Facebook account. Then you can go straight to the Facebook page for usernames by clicking here.
