ESCC Facebook Page QR Code

• ESCC Facebook Page got enough Likes to shorten the URL !

• https://www.facebook.com/EdmondsSisterCityCommission

• People who use the old one can still get there, though!

• And we now have a QR Code!

URL + Thumbnail = Annoying!

I love the Firehouse Theater and go there often, but it is annoying to see Redundant Links: LONG URL with thumbnail just below.

Posting a Link to a Web Page

• Copy the original Page URL• Paste the URL in the box on ESCC Page• When the image of the Page appears,

delete the URL to avoid Redundant Links• Write your explanation/comments• Hit “Post”• Examples of all this in next 5 slides!

Paste the URL into the box

Paste the URL into the box and you will see the thumbnail of the Page appear below.

Highlight URL

Once you see the thumbnail of the Page you are linking to, highlight the URL in the dialog box.

DELETE the URL

Hit the DELETE key on your keyboard to delete the URL so you only see “What’s on your mind?” in the Status Update box.

Now, type your comments

Now, you can type an explanation of the Page or your comments, and Post it.

You can highlight a post, pin it to the top, delete it

• You can highlight a post = stretch it to fit the whole width of the screen

• Want a post to stay at the top for a few days no matter how many new posts there are? You can PIN it to the top and Unpin it at any time. It will stay pinned for 1 week.

• And you can delete a post at any time.• Examples follow. . . .

Choose Highlight

Highlight makes the post stretch across the Page!

Edit: Pin to Top, Delete
