Using the AI Assistant I have added Jetpack’s AI assistant to my Threads blog, and today I tested it on a fairly lengthy post. I thought I’d show what it did here. I found its suggestions helpful, and I implemented most. There was another round, but they went beyond the time I was planning to…
Here’s a great video I found to explain the basics of making Adobe Express and Photoshop work together to build better social media posts. Up to now, I have been using these as completely separate tools, but the ability to take things created in one and upgrade, adjust, or share them in another is powerful….
Tomorrow this will be on all our (Energion Publications) social media streams, commemorating Martin Luther King Day. This was creating using Adobe Spark, a simple script, and a few images from our library and from Adobe Stock. I have thus far found Spark to be useful in creating simple videos and slideshows, and for social…
Google+ will cease to exist in April. Google has had too little use and too many security issues. My favorite comment on this is from Significant Digits, a daily set of notes on numbers in the news. It reports this under the headline 52.5 million users. (Of these, due to automatic posting software, my company…
More than a decade ago I was called in to do some work on the computer used by an office receptionist. After hearing the explanation, I sat down for what would be a rather easy job.

I intensely dislike fake news or, for that matter, slanted news. I do believe that the term “fake news” should be limited to things that are totally made up, not things in which the reporting is slanted, or in which poor conclusions are drawn. People were and are justified in mistrusting the media. Personally, I…
… from Web Worker Daily. Many of these will look obvious to you, but since I started in the Computer BBS world back in the mid 1980s I have noticed that things people take for granted in their daily social interactions are ignored in electronic media. People want value from a business or they aren’t…
Note: I find I never posted this, but it still looks relevant, so here goes! I’ve been trying to make Twitter work for me (Follow Me), and by “work for me” I don’t merely mean as a way of increasing hits on my web sites or sales of my products–directly, that is. I’ve been following…
Twitter is well outside my comfort zone. I’m wordy, and I must express myself in 140 characters; I’m not that easy with meeting new people, and what’s the point if you don’t meet new people? Of course, I can’t evaluate my progress in 140 characters–no surprise there–so I’m writing a blog post. I’m at 173…
… well, second-hand, at least. I’m going to refer you to this post from Compassion in Politics, which provided me with several additional links. I’m having a hard time still getting the best out of Twitter, both socially and for the business. Last Sunday at First UMC in Pensacola, I attended the first ICON service,…
