Facebook - sharing websites

I’m developing a list of all the websites related to sharing I know about on yours2share’s Facebook page.   As you’ll see sharing and collaboration take many forms including:

private syndicates
peer to peer rental
rental
swapping
getting rid of stuff that is no longer wanted
peer to peer lending

This is a work in progress. If you know of a [...]

Facebook Fans

After much fiddling last night, I managed to get the Facebook fan box into the widget on my blog.  So now you can sign up to be a fan of the yours2share page on Facebook.  Please do!

Just click “Become a fan”.

Facebook has improved greatly recently, it used to drive me mad every time I touched [...]

All of a twitter

I think I’ve found another wonderful displacement activity – twitter.  I’ve been putting off joining for ages, because I should be doing lots of other important things: sales, trademarking yours2share, my accounts, newsletters, pitching ideas to TV companies.  But fiddling around with more software is always enticing.

I’ve worked out how to feed my tweets into [...]

Improving yours2share’s website: Romanian style

Earlier this week, yours2share’s website underwent a fairly major set of improvements.  I’ve been working on these for about five months and I can’t tell you how relieved I am that they have been implemented with relatively few issues arising.  (I can’t believe I’ve just written that, I left a full time job in IT [...]

WordPress: disasters to doddles

It’s funny how the things you dread often turn out to be dead easy when you finally do them and the things you expect to be a doddle, turn into a disaster.

Last week on the fourth attempt I finally set up phpmyadmin so that my developer can access only the database for yours2share and [...]

New blog (with all the old posts)

Welcome to the new yours2share blog, which has all the old postings from the old blog but is now a fully fledged self hosted WordPress.org blog rather than a WordPress.com blog which is rather like a second class citizen.

I’ve begun to promote the blog on Feedburner, Technorati etc and realised that there are so many [...]

Facebook badge

In the earlier post, I should have explained how I added the Facebook badge that appears further down this page.

Click here and all will be explained. I’ve actually tried to work out how to arrive at this page through the normal user interface, and given up. But then it’s Facebook.

Those who help yours2share

As I indicated on an earlier post, I’ve had help creating and running yours2share from a huge variety of sources. Over the last couple of days I’ve been using two websites that I’ve come to rely on for entirely different types of support.

The first is Sitepoint which is an enormous forum for webmasters and [...]

Thank you Fuzioned

This is simply a very big thank you for Colin at Fuzioned for helping me out over the last few days.

Some strange things occured last week and I began to wonder if the website had been hacked. However detailed investigation by Colin and me has shown no evidence of this and [...]
