Greetings and Salutations!

We're connecting very well on Facebook! Be sure to check out my list of editors in order to network and get your support group set up!

We have an official BellaOnline fan Page that we promote on all our pages. This is a great place to post your latest article promos and get lots of publicity for them!

http://www.facebook.com/pages/BellaOnline/323931250391

We have almost 2,000 fans!!

I do have a question for you guys - there's a mysterious Facebook "BellaOnline Company" page here with only 28 fans -

Does anybody know where this came from? If you know anything about this page, please let me know! We shouldn't have duplicate pages to our official fan page. It makes things confusing. Thanks!


LinkedIn

While FaceBook is about personal connections, LinkedIn is about building your resume and professional connections. Here is my LinkedIn entry -

We also have a BellaOnline page which helps all BellaOnline editors find each other.

If you have a LinkedIn entry, please feel free to connect to me! I'd be thrilled to be a reference for you, just send me a request. Many companies use LinkedIn during the hiring process, so it is a very good network to be established in!

If you need more connections for your LinkedIn profile, consider asking other BellaOnline editors to connect with you. We are all here to support each other!


PASSWORDS

It's a new year, so this is the perfect time to change your passwords on your various sites! Yes, I realize it's a royal pain. However, it helps keep you safe! It makes it harder for hackers to get into your precious areas. What I do is have a Word document with all my passwords in it. That way I can have a different password for each site. I know it can seem a bit tedious, to have to look it up, but imagine if someone got into all of your accounts. It's worth it to keep your information safe. Just do one or two changes a day, and soon your online world will be safe and secure again!

Of course, put a password on your Word document, and make sure you don't forget that one :)
