I know it makes your post visible somewhere, but can't seem to find the "instructions". I don't have a lot of time to be online to figure out Twitter. I can post, direct message and @ reply - but that's about all I have time for right now...LOL Thanks! Amanda

For instance, you can even get a Facebook plugin if you have a Facebook page, so that if you want a Tweet to go on your pages mini feed, you put a #fb after it. Totally cool! __________________ Taryn Merrick, Eco Virtual Assistant on the Mac Platform www.merrickmgt.com
