Friday Finds

When I am online and visit a website or facebook page I have found a few pet peeves regarding pages... put where you are located, not sure why people don't put that especially on fan pages.  Check your site does it load in a reasonable time?  Check it from different places.  I have left numerous sites waiting for something to come up.  Here are some other tips I found & like.

Today is Random Act of Kindness day. 

Showing a little kindness to others is fun and a good thing to do!

It really makes the giver & the receiver feel great and I am a true believer of what you put out is what you get back. 

So, perform acts of kindness not only today but every day!
