Continuing my Facebook Hold-Out people had been asking us to put our updates in a GMG Facebook Fan Page so that they could get their GMG updates through FB. There was no way for me to start a GMG Facebook Fan page without signing up for a Facebook account so new contributor (more about this soon) Beth Swan put one up for us. I guess you need to have 25 or more people who “like” you before they will give you the shortened http://www.facebook.com/GoodMorningGloucester URL without a whole slew of numbers and letters after it. Within a day the page had the required number for us to have the URL. So if you are a Facebooker, you can go to the URL and do whatever it is you do to get the updates to show up on your wall.
I think that’s what it’s called-a wall. I’m pretty much clueless as to the ins and outs of FB. But if it were Twitter it would be your timeline. Sample below-

In addition to Beth Swan I should also thank Jill and Kristen from North Shore Dish for the inspiration and how-to.
