  • Whereas 41 people have links to their blog posts on a personal Facebook profile BUT DO NOT include #AtoZchallenge hashtag.
  • 25% have links to blog posts on a Facebook PAGE and include the #AtoZchallenge hashtag.
  • Conversely, 13% have links to blog posts on a Facebook PAGE, but those DO NOT include the #AtoZchallenge hashtag.

  • A handful of people weren't sure the differnce between a profile and a page.

"A profile is a personal Facebook account. Pages are public profiles that let artists, public figures, businesses, brands, organizations and nonprofits connect with their fans or customers." Click to learn more- https://facebook.com/help/337881706729661?helpref=faq_content
💡 Tagging our Facebook page is nice, but it does almost nothing to improve your post's visiblity.

I really wish Blogger had a like button like wordpress. It would make it so much easier to at least let people know you've visited their blog, especially when you're trying to get around a lot of sites during the challenge and don't always have the time to leave a comment.

Sorry, had wrong link on the previous comment and had to delete it. Wendy, I am testing the like button from this page, using the FREE one. I have put it on two blogs and it's working on both. On one I have it above the blog post and on the other I have it below. The downside of above is they haven't read the post yet. The downside on the below is it's shown after the comments. I also added "Like this blog post?" text just before the button.
