MARIETTE'S BACK TO BASICS

Here I would love to share with you our travels and adventures as international consultants. About living in Italy, the Veneto area near Venice; in Indonesia, central Java. Why we love the southeast of the United States and moved back from Italy. Our love for gardening, the botanical way. Sharing with you our manifold treasures from exotic places and even offering several in my Mariette's Back to Basics Boutique for others to enjoy as well as high end silver items from Giovanni Raspini, Italy.

{TIP: HOW to Shorten Your FB Fan Page URL}

Many bloggers also do have a FB (Facebook) Fan Page. Ever noticed that long string of numbers in your URL? Mine looked like this before: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Mariettes-Back-to-Basics-LLC/344099510841
Let me show you how I did change it to: facebook.com/MariettesBacktoBasicsLLC
Yes, if you copy and paste this into your browser it takes you straight to my FB Page.
That would be very helpful in mentioning into an email or wherever you want to publish this. Looks neat and will be easy to remember and does not look spammy.
At first I noticed this short FB Fan Page URL in Avril's Royal Ribbon FB Fan Page: facebook.com/RoyalRibbons. We communicated via our LinkedIn accounts.
So I had to figure it out and like to share it here with you.

Click on Change username

A 'Enter Desired Username' will popup on the right - see where MariettesBacktoBasicsLLC is typed inside.
Now very careful type inside THAT box the name YOU want to show directly behind facebook.com/
DOUBLE check as it cannot be changed! Make sure you capitalize words as they will appear exactly like that in your new URL.

Good luck! Let me know if you managed to change your Fan Page.

Liebe Mariette,
diese Url-Shortener gibts auch für Twitter. Aber ich bin bei beiden Portalen kaum aktiv, da mir einfach die Zeit dafür fehlt und ich es auch zu anstrengend finde, den ganzen Tag zu sitzen. Der bzw. die Blogs sind schon Aufwand genug.

Liebe Grüße nochmal
Sara
