For various reasons, I have decided to remove my personal page from the land of Facebizzle. It may be for a week, a month or forever. I guess I have reached the point where I can’t take reading updates from hundreds of people whom I don’t have phone numbers for or whom I haven’t seen or heard from in ten years (or more). These last few months I have found myself hiding more and more stories in my news feed from a number of “friends” – namely the ones spreading racist, narrow-minded links or other silly things that distract me from the primary task at hand: writing, working, exercising, blogging, being a good wife, a great friend and an inspired person. I found myself more and more frequently logging off from Facebook with a bad taste in my mouth and so for now, maybe forever, I’m logging off for good. I realise that I may lose some regular blog readers from my lack of personal Facebook to blog links, but I figure that if any of my FB friends really did enjoy reading this blog, they will eventually find their way back here.
In the meantime, if you are one of those people who relied on my personal links to get to my blog and are looking for other ways to keep updated with new posts, you should follow me on one (or all) of the following:
Bloglovin’: this is a great app to have on your phone or iPad – a central site where you can follow all of your favourite blogs and which lets you know whenever a blog you have subscribed to publishes a new post. Click here to follow midlands musings (and all your other favourite blogs) on Bloglovin’.
Twitter: if you’re not on Twitter yet, you should be. Especially if you’re clever and have a sick good sense of humour. With only a 140 character limit to work with, you have to be razor sharp to get your point across in one update. Follow midlandsmusings on twitter by clicking here.
Instagram: the ultimate hipster app, Instagram has exploded in the last few months. An instant photo sharing application, it’s the perfect platform to display your mad photography skills or simply share snippets of your daily life with friends and followers. Follow me on Instagram by clicking here.
Pinterest: Well, now. This is the female equivalent to the X-box. If you possess a vagina and you’re not yet a member of Pinterest, I’m not sure if we can be friends. {I KID. KINDA} Be prepared to lose hours of your life to this magical wonderland. In fact, I have literally been pinning inspiration and motivation into my daily life since I joined in 2011. Game-changer. Also, great for virtual window-shopping when your bank account is empty. Follow me on Pinterest by clicking here.
Facebook Fan Page: I do still have my Midlands Musings fan page on Facebook linked to an anonymous administrator from which I will link my blog posts every day. To like Midlands Musings on Facebook, click here and then click the little thumbs up Like button (some people really battle with this part).
Email Subscription: If you visit my blog’s homepage and scroll down a bit, you will see an option on the right hand column saying “follow blog via email” – simply put in your email address and you will then be sent an email every time a new post is published.
Easy, hey? So no excuses for not keeping updated – I promise I will try to share links on all of the above every time I write a new post. Deal?
Have a great week – I’m hoping for a healthy, happy one filled with lots of running sessions in this gorgeous warm weather!
With love x
Me with a pug puppy. To make your Monday better. It’s a pleasure. X
