Help, hints, and tricks to optimize your Social Media experience.
If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!My mom just started using StumbleUpon. When I visit her page though, it’s a blank page that has a message from SU suggesting I ask her to install the toolbar. She has the toolbar, I know, I installed it [...]
Dear Friends,
I have an apology to make. I’ve been giving you hints and tips for using StumbleUpon and never thought that maybe you don’t have StumbleUpon installed yet.
