It took a bit of trial and error. Here's the link to the site that walked me through the process: http://www.digitalkonline.com/blog/how-to-add-a-pinterest-hover-button-to-your-blogger-images/ Hope this helps!

For example, I know you're always going to have great stuff to share, so if your title matches my audience's need, I'll skim your post to verify and then schedule the update. I bookmark the posts I want to come back to read more deeply and comment on. Truthfully, I just can't spend that much time each day reading posts. I hope this helps, Blessings, EEdie Melsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03902312441667526147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-69036471649089702712014-03-10T14:53:32.855-04:002014-03-10T14:53:32.855-04:00Cathy, I scan my email for potential blogs to read...Cathy, I scan my email for potential blogs to read, and then scan/read the ones I want to share. For me, part of the discipline is in NOT spending hours a day reading blog posts. There are a lot of sites that I trust because I've followed their content for so long, so I can tell at a glance if it's valuable info to share.

I now have an index card sitting next to my computer to remind me of the 30 minute limit. I also use the timer on my phone. I, like Cathy, count reading blogs as "social media" too- maybe I can cut it down the middle and allow 45 minutes for all of that. Thanks Edie!Julia Tomiakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17999070457191845503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-61409121494552454902014-03-10T11:35:10.648-04:002014-03-10T11:35:10.648-04:00To me this looks like two hours each day in social...To me this looks like two hours each day in social media, because I would count the time reading blogs and email as part of the category. Anyway, it's simply part of doing business.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16900383840255608898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-85692224148772276012014-03-10T08:30:28.488-04:002014-03-10T08:30:28.488-04:00Ron, I think we are definitely on the same page wh...Ron, I think we are definitely on the same page when it comes to social media.

If I need to reply to a comment, I can do that any time with my cell phone or iPad. But you're right, social media should not take up a huge chunk of time. That writing time is precious!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16473774179937702258noreply@blogger.com
