Practical Tips and Hints to Help YOU Opimize YOUR Online Efforts

To share, or not to share, your Linked In connections list

 

Lately, I have had quite a few people ask me how to 'hide' their list of connections on Linked In. 

 

Some want to do this to protect their business, such as a headhunter not wanting to let anyone see his potential candidates for fear that another headhunter will see them and reach out to and/ or 'steal' them. 

 

Others have noticed that they are unable to view the connections of certain 'links' and want to 'hide' theirs as well.

 

There may be some valid reasons to do this, especially in the case of a headhunter or a salesperson but in general, I recommend against it.

Helpful tips and updates...
  
Linked In, Twitter, Facebook and many of the other social media sites make changes to their interfaces ALL the time.
  
Some are upgrades, others are just visual changes and many of them cause confusion. Just when you thought you knew how to do something, the link locations change or they add a step.

NEW LisaMarie Dias Designs website is LIVE!

Are you familiar with the saying 'the shoemaker's children are often without shoes'?  My website re-design was definitely like that.  I was so busy helping others that work on my site always seemed to take a back seat. Well, thanks to the help of Steve Feuss of iDesign, I finally have a brand new WordPress based site!

 

Steve does webdesign and graphic work with an expertise in WordPress websites.  I had worked with him before on some client sites and knew his attention to detail and technical guidance would be key to getting my new site up and running.

 

I had built my own websites in the past, using GoDaddy's tools, but this time I wanted a WordPress site since the WP format is so clean, easy to update, great for SEO and meshes seamlessly with my new blog (which finally gives me a place to post all the tutorials and tips I send out between e-newsletter issues). I love it and only wish I had done it sooner!

 

Please click HERE or on the screen shot above to visit the new site and be sure to let me know what you think.  It is a work in progress and I look forward to being able to modify and update it regularly. Please let me know how I can make it as user friendly and content rich as possible!

 

A HUGE thank you to Steve for helping me make this happen and please do let us know if we can get YOU up and running on WordPress as well.
