For two and half years I have lived and breathed on Facebook.

I hadn’t realized until typing this post that I’ve reached a milestone on this blog. Yesterday I completed 100 posts and it seems only fitting in view of the honor bestowed upon me by the Authentic Blogger Group (I promise this is the last time I’ll gloat), that I offer some basic tips to…
