For the next several days I will be posting about the World Congress of Families. This year it is being held in Sydney, Australia.  Remember how we helped to raise funds for Angela to attend? She is sending daily reports of the presentations, interviews she is able to have, and more. I am excited to share with you what she is experiencing. There are so many around the world - politicians, religious leaders, community organizers, trained professionals, and others - who are dedicated to defending the family. I will try to post each day's events in order so you are not reading them backwards as you scroll down. I have broken up Angela's summaries into several posts so it isn't overwhelming to see a HUGE post. Remember, if you have any questions you would like her to ask when she gives her interviews, leave them in the comments and I will pass them along to her.

PinAlerts for Pinterest

Pinterest has taken the web by storm. It is so nice to have visual boards for all those things I want to try/remember without cluttering up my home or desk.

Pinterest has also driven a lot more traffic to this blog. While I can go see what has been pinned from my blog it is an extra step so I only do it about once a week. Or rather, I only did it about once a week. Now I just get notices in my e-mail thanks to a great new tool called PinAlerts. 

Have you heard about them? If you have a blog or website I recommend using PinAlerts to track what has been pinned from your site. Once you register {it is free!} and add the web addresses of any site you want to track, you can decide how often you want to receive alerts - hourly, daily, weekly, or as it happens. Then you'll start getting e-mails like this:
pinalerts 01
to inform you of how many pins have been created. Scrolling through the e-mail you see images of what was pinned, by whom, and the description they used.

Thanks Megan and Cindy for pinning some posts!

And now you have something to file under "Good to Know."  ☺

  3. Oh I am glad to know this. I got very concerned when I saw through blogger that someone had found my site with the search phrase red headed children. That was creepy. Now I can track which pictures are being pinned. Thanks!

Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done. ☺ There, don't you feel better?

Please leave a comment! I enjoy hearing your thoughts, whether you agree with me or not. If we all agreed on everything how boring would that be? Worse than eating white chocolate, because it's fake. So be real, be yourself.
