“Let’s hurl some acid at those female democratic Senators…”

  Another day, another blundering fool shooting himself in the foot by exposing his dark side – and ignorance of the fact that social media is not the place for private thoughts on advocating violence against women. Official spokesman for Rep. Nan Hayworth’s (R-NY) re-election campaign Jay Townsend is not helping his party friends these days when he espoused “Let’s

Take Advantage of your Page App Icons

  Much ado about the Timeline and integrating the profile image to work with the cover photo has been made. But what about your app icons? Each app you make can have it’s own thumbnail image and associated small icon. While you cannot move where the Photos are, you can manage the page so that the last image up is
