Hi there! You know how sometimes you try to put something together that you've put together many times before, but for some reason, it's just not getting put together like normal? Like when you leave out a key ingredient in a recipe you've made a million times? Or you make a wrong turn on a route you drive every day?

That's what happened to me this week with the useletter. It was weird. Every time I thought it was ready to go, I found something else that needed to be fixed. Finally I plum gave up. A girl's gotta know when to execute Plan B, you know?

So here it is. Plan B. Simply things I've been reading, learning and loving. Some are blogging related, some are not, but all are worth a look. (You know, I might even like this better.) Enjoy!

1. Facebook changed their rules again. This time I like it.

You've probably heard that Facebook changed their rules about running giveaways & competitions and here's a great rundown of what it means for us.

2. The Ultimate Social Media Size Cheat Sheet

Also, here's a fantastic cheat sheet of all the dimensions you need to make your posts shine on Facebook, Twitter, G+ and LinkedIn.

3. A twist on an old productivity hack

A great productivity hack is to use a timer. Oh, but don't use just any timer.

4. What to delegate

I'm not good at delegating so this list of delgatable (is that a word or did I just made that up?) tasks gives me good ideas. On the flip side, are you good at any of these tasks? Why not make a business out of it then?

5. A free font

I like this totally free font you can use without restriction. I like fonts and I like free. Maybe you will like it too.

6. The internet is the best school around (in my opinion)

If there's anything you (or your children) want to learn, you can probably do it for free. Great roundup.

7. People are crazy, that's all I'm sayin'

These photos really did make my stomach drop.

8. It was only a matter of time...

I knew this would eventually happen to me.

Liked these tips? Feel free to share this useletter (links above) or forward it to a friend (link below).

Have a great weekend!
