Facebook {and 7-Up Cake}

My Mama has a recipe for a 7-Up Cake that has been in the family for years.  It's one of those desserts that makes you "Happy as a Skinny Tick on a Fat Dog."

This cake has been carried to more Southern family reunions and funerals than I can count.

The recipe hasn't changed at all over the years, and that is the best "ingredient"of all.  The fact that it has never changed.  I mean why would you?
When something is good and it works...then "let sleeping babies lie" and "if it ain't broke don't fix it."

So wouldn't it be much easier if Mr. Zuckerberg at Facebook was a good ole' Southern boy and liked 7-Up Cake and believed in keeping things simple. "Bless his heart."

Facebook has been "tinkered with" so many times, I sometimes think them folks are "as confused as a cow on astroturf."  An update from Facebook is "about as welcome as an outhouse breeze."

I read that you only see maybe 1/3 of your friends statuses, and when it comes to Blogs and other types of FB pages you have Liked, you may see less than that.

That's about "as useful as a milk bucket under a bull" now ain't it?

So here is a simple way to make sure you don't miss any more posts from family members (even the ones you'd rather not hear from); special friends, not-so-special friends...and most important of all....BLOGS!  

(more particularly The Everyday Home Blog!)

How did you like the way I worked that in? I'd say that was "gooder'n than grits."  :-D

Well, sit back... cause I'm "fixin'" to tell you something you will appreciate.  Here's how you can make sure you never miss another Blog Post or status update again.

1) Like the Blog.  I am using Organized Chaos as an example. This also applies to a friend's FB page.

2) Click on the little wheel next to "Message." There will be a drop-down box.

3) The drop-down box will give you the option to 
"Add to Interest Lists"... but first you will need to .... create your lists.

4) You will see the option to create a "New List" which will allow you to categorize your FB pages any way you like...such as...

a) Friends I Adore
b) People Who Irritate Me Immensely 
c) My Favorite Retailers, etc

and for the purpose of this tutorial...

d) Blogs I Love. (for example, The Everyday Home)  :-D

5) Once you have named your list, you can click that category.  All of your "Blogs I Love" (example...The Everyday Home*) - will now be under this category.

*Okay, okay - I'm going a little "hog wild" with the innuendo huh?  :)

If you want to visit all of these "Blogs I Love"...
(like for example...oh ok, I won't say it.  I would not want to "get yer feathers ruffled" now would I?)....

6) On the bottom right hand corner of your FB page, go to "Interests" and you will see all of your created categories here.

7) And here they are... in all of their Favorite "Blogs I Love" Glory.  

That's it.  It's as "easy as pie."  Or 7-Up Cake.
