I’ve been having the best time working on my new store project with my old h2g2 pal, Taliesin. He came to my rescue the other day and has not only moved my old website for me, but is helping me design the new version. What a guy!

I’m hoping to have the store fully functional by March 1st … I think that should give Tal & me enough time to finish the design and techy stuff, as well as get the stock and shipping side of things organised. There’s a lot to do, and I will probably just start off with a few choice items, but along with English classes and possible tapas tours & wine tasting evenings, I might actually end up with something resembling an income.

Meanwhile, this is all so exciting and also very interesting. Tal is doing all the “heavy lifting” for this move and new set up, but I’ve been helping out here and there and also learning A LOT, which is always fun.

The generosity of my friends continues to overwhelm me.

what kind of cloud are you?

You Are a Cirrus Cloud


You’re a bit mysterious and reserved. You mostly keep to yourself and do your own thing.

Some people may even consider you allusive. You’re hard to track down at times.

People who know you find you to be very transparent. It’s always easy to tell what you’re thinking about.

You tend to drift more than most people. You’re always trying out new ideas, friends, and even personalities.

On the left is my Sevilla Tapas Facebook page.
On the right is my Sevilla Tapas Facebook Fan page.

Can you tell the difference? No? Well, neither can I.

And I also have no idea about how to manage either of these pages. Seriously. I set up the Sevilla Tapas Facebook account because it’s supposed to be important for people trying to get their biz stuff “out there” using social media … then I saw that most businesses also had Fan Pages, so I got one of those. But I have no idea what the difference is between the two, and whether I should actually have two (or even one!) of these pages … and I especially don’t understand why I can’t access my f*cking Fan Page from my freakin FP Page. Or why I can’t dump the FP and just stick with the Fan Page. It’s both frustrating and infuriating.

So if there is anyone out there who can give me a basic explanation (please type slowly and clearly) about what the difference between these two types of pages is and how the hell I should be using them … well, that would be great.

Meanwhile, I am convinced that Facebook is a bad joke and is not worth my time or energy – and that the joke’s on me for continuing to try to make any sense of it. And I suspect that everyone else on Facebook feels the same but just doesn’t want to admit it.
