Facebook Updates, Please Read

 This message was shared by K-Joi Studios and I wanted to pass it along so everyone could be informed. I hope you find it helpful;

PLEASE READ - THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE WHO USES FACEBOOK FOR BUSINESS OR PERSONAL REASONS. {Shared by Abby Smith } Thanks Abby
Have you noticed that you are only seeing updates in your newsfeed from the same people lately? Have yo...u also noticed that when you post things like status messages, photos and links, the same circle of people are commenting and everyone else seems to be ignoring you?
Don't worry, everyone still loves you and nobody has intentionally blocked you. The problem is that a large chunk of your friend/fan list can't see anything you post and here's why:
The "New Facebook" has a newsfeed setting that by default is automatically set to show ONLY posts from people who you've recently interacted with or interacted the most with (which would be limited to the couple of weeks just before people started switching to the new profile). So in other words, for both business and personal pages, unless your friends/fans commented on one of your posts within those few weeks or vice versa - you are now invisible to them and they are invisible to you!!
HERE'S THE FIX: Scroll down to the bottom of the newsfeed on the homepage and click on "Edit Options", click on "Show Posts From" and change the setting to "All Of Your Friends and Pages" Note: This is the fix for personal pages but I am unsure of whether or not the business pages are set up the same way.
Simply posting an update about it won't do any good because lots of your friends/fans already can't see your posts by default. You'll either have to send out a message to everyone on your list (which I'm not even sure business pages can do and is a rather tedious method) or post an event explaining the situation like this one and invite your entire fan base and/or friend list. You can also tweet about it hoping that most of your fellow facebookers are also on twitter.

I've alerted some of the big facebook security sites that I know of and they are working on finding an easier solution for companies to let their customers know about the situation.

Shame on facebook for altering the default setting and not telling people and business pages about it! Just think about how many companies posted Christmas sales and discounts without having any idea that their customers couldn't see the updates

Not in design, it will look the same but Katie (my CT Lead) and I have put our heads together and have come up with some great ideas all with the intentions of bringing you newsworthy information, exciting challenges, helpful links that are sure to add to your abilities as scrappers, crafters and designers alike!

Sneak Peek Giveaway and Milk Money Monday!

Happy Monday to you all :) Did you have a good weekend? I had a productive week last week and finished up over the weekend. What have I been up to? A complete re-organization of my paper scrapbook and crafting supplies! After that, I needed to paint the wall an extra special color to get the creative juices flowing when I sit to play. That is what I did over the weekend along with other household duties. Here was my inspiration for the decorating of the room I'm speaking of http://www.unplggd.com/unplggd/-081393 I went with more of a turquoise color instead of blue as to not have a nautical feel to it. But I LOVE the red color pop next to it! It doesn't take away just because I used a shade with green. I will try and post photo's when i get done putting things back together today :) Now, how about some digi talk? Of course, it's Monday and what better way to start the week than with rewarding yourself for your accomplishments or just to grabbing a good dea than with Milk Monday Monday?!
