Making a Facebook ‘Post to Page’ Public

Internet, Social Networks & Online Communities, Technology

Facebook have changed the way that business pages work and it is often very difficult to find posts that are made to pages and to make them public so that anyone who likes your page can see them.

I have found this problem with a Facebook Page that I manage recently and did find one way of solving the problem of making the post public on a page.

You also used to be able to change a setting that would show posts by other people in your timeline but this is no longer possible. Continue reading Making a Facebook ‘Post to Page’ Public →

Food & Drink, Health, Home & Garden, Money, Shopping

There was a post on a facebook group I am on recently where someone asked on ideas to feed 4 people for 8 days for less than £20. In fact the specific amount was £17.64 and they actually wanted lunch and dinner but I thought that this was a good challenge to undertake so here is my list of dinners for that amount: Continue reading Feed 4 People for 8 Days for Less Than £20 →

LayZSpa ChemConnect Dispensing Too Much Chlorine

Fun Stuff, Health, Home & Garden, Recreation

So when I first got my Lay-z-spa Saint Tropez hot tub I bought the chlorine granules to keep the water in the spa clean. These worked really well as they kept the chlorine at the correct level after a shock dose and then adding 2 teaspoons a day of the granules to the water.

In fact I had no problems with this at all except that my only issue was having to make sure I was doing this whether I was using the hot tub or not that day. So I decided that it would make sense to try out the chlorine tablets with the special dispenser that came with the hot tub. Continue reading LayZSpa ChemConnect Dispensing Too Much Chlorine →

Monster Doughnuts With No Plastic!

Children, Eco-friendly, Food & Drink, Fun Stuff, Recreation

For an event we were running as a PTA we wanted to sell monster donuts to the children and adults who were coming so we looked around for a recipe for monster doughnuts that we could easily make.

We weren’t actually going to make the monster doughnuts ourselves but instead buy some and decorate them with monster faces. The ones that we had seen on Pinterest had edible eyes and then plastic mouths that opened over the hole of the donut  (which you can buy very cheaply online) but we didn’t want to use any more plastic than we needed to so we decided to go another route with the monster mouths!

How to Connect the HP 2600 Printer to Wifi

Computers & Electronics, Internet, Technology

So I recently purchased an HP 2620 (one of the 2600 series) all in one printer – it was pretty cheap and had a good deal whereby if you don’t use much ink you can get it free with HP Instant Ink.

Anyway, I wanted to set this up and connect to a Chromebook which was a task in itself. In order to do this I first needed to connect the printer to the Wifi network. In theory this should have been very easy by pressing the Wifi button on the printer and then pressing the WPS button on the Wifi router. Continue reading How to Connect the HP 2600 Printer to Wifi →
