Testing Out A New Plug-In

November 30, 2016

Hi Folks,
Tomorrow is the ‘official’ first post of 2016. I’m using a new plugin to publicize this blog and wanted to give it a test drive prior to kick off. It supposedly makes it a bit easier to schedule posts and to ensure everything gets fed to Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc.

Also, I realize your facebook feed is probably as cluttered as mine. If however, you want to ensure you get a daily blast of different Christmas music to appear in your feed, do this:

FROM A DESKTOP

  1. In the top right hand corner of your facebook page there is a little “down arrow.” Click on that.
  2. Scroll down to News Feed Preferences
  3. Click on “Prioritize Who To See First”
  4. That will open a box with everyone you’re following. If you want to make sure you see my posts, simply scroll through your list and click on Tom’s Christmas Music Blog
  5. Click on “Done” to save.

ON A MOBILE DEVICE

  1. At the bottom of your facebook page all the way to the right of the News Feed tab is a tab titled “More” – tap that.
  2. Scroll down to and tap “Settings.”
  3. Tap “News Feed Preferences” and repeat 3, 4 & 5 above

Pretty simple – and if you do it, you’ll see and hear all of my posts (and thanks btw).

As always, I have some really great ‘off the beaten path’ Christmas music planned. Thanks for following. We’ll chat tomorrow.

Happy Thanksgiving & A Teaser Of What’s To Come In My 2016 Christmas Music Blog

November 24, 2016

Hi Folks and welcome back to my annual Christmas Music Blog.

I have a lot of truly great, off the beaten path music I’ll be featuring this year. We’ll hear from a very diverse group of bands, musicians and vocalists, including Drew Holcomb, The Mountain Goats, The Maine, Laura Marling, The Jive Turkeys and lots of others.

I’ll be posting daily from December 1 through New Year’s Eve and look forward to hearing suggestions and feedback.

So until a week from now, I’ll leave you with Superchick and the fabulous tune, Everyday Is Christmas.

Thanks again for following this blog. Happy Thanksgiving & Merry Christmas.
