In case you hadn’t noticed

I added these new sharing options (cuz I’m always trying to optimize your user experience here at GMG).

I’ve tested them out and they work the nuts!

If you have facebook, you can share a post by clicking on the facebook icon below each post.

If you use twitter you can re-tweet the url to a post you find interesting by clicking on the Tweet button below each post.

If you want to email a post you can click on the email button below each post to email it to a friend or family member.

Lastly if you want to print out a post you can click on the print icon below each post.  I’m thinking that last one would be pretty handy for printing out one of the recipes or picture that you might like or an event listing so you can stick it up on your fridge!

I’d appreciate if you each try them out and let me know if you have any problems.

Using The GMG Search Box Video

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Lately I’ve been getting a lot of requests from people asking for pictures or videos that have been posted in the past. I’m happy to find these things for folks but it occured to me that people must not either understand that I categorize everything that gets posted and also attach “tags” which are associated words which a search engine would pick up if you were looking for a particular thing, or they just don’t know that there is a GMG search engine to begin with.

Along the right hand column there is a search engine. It is below the “Get The GMG Podcast” Button and above the “Recent Comments” section.

I’ll be giving more lessons on how to get more out of this blog and others.

There are many features you can use to navigate and find interesting things including the category links at the bottom of the page, the search engine, the calendar, and the older posts text near the bottom of the page.  I think many people only think that the blog exists as one page and they can’t go back in time by clicking the older posts button.  Most blogs including this one are rolling through with the newest posts at the top and as new posts are added the previous one gets bumped down one.  Then when a certain number of posts are reached it goes to the second page which you can find by clicking the older posts text at the bottom, and so on and so on back through the timeline of the blog.

I hope this helps.  Click on the highlighted text so you can visualize if you can’t understand the wording.  Sometimes it’s easier to see it rather than follow written directions.  Tomorrow I will highlight the older posts text in a video for those who might not get it.
