On The Social Media Front

| | 1 Comment

It all changes so quickly, doesn’t it? I have my ups and downs with Twitter… and have never taken to any sort of “chat”, which I blame on my painfully slow typing. But I notice how visual media has garnered more and more space. Now both Facebook and Twitter vie with Instagram and Youtube with pictures, photos, and videos.

I confess to not fully mastering this. But I saw old gardening internet friend (I consider him a friend although we haven’t met and only rarely communicate these days), Trey Pitsenberger, posted something that guarantees bringing a smile to my face: a Hobbit house.

Now we can embed Tweets! So I am trying my hand at sharing this on my blog.


I noticed the picture appears on the published post, although not in the visual editor! Interesting.

Making Changes

You’ll notice I am tweaking the site, somewhat active on Twitter again ( it comes and goes) and trying to manage my way around Instagram a bit more. Which is your favorite social media format?

About Ilona Erwin

I was a garden blog pioneer, and began writing on this blog in 2003. Before that I had begun a garden website that has been at its own domain since 2006, Ilona's Garden.

I still love writing, gardening, and art after all these years, although travel and grandchildren have become a big part of my life, now.

    I have a very lightly active Twitter account, which I use mostly for my humorous takes on my every day life. I enjoy Pinterest too, but mostly I use Facebook. I’ve thought about getting into Instagram, but honestly, I spend too much time online already. I’m trying not to add anything else that would keep me tied even more to the computer.
