Blogging made easy

I am sure I am not the only one who is sometimes overwhelmed by the complexity of social networks and tweaks and coups you need to know to sync everything at the same time. So I had been wondering if there was a way that I could make blogging but especially sharing things easier.

My biggest struggle: “Is there a way that I can post stuff automatically to my Facebook fan page but not to my private Facebook wall?”

I was sure that there would be a way to share what you post instantly to your Facebook fan page, twitter account etc. And after a bit of browsing I found the solution! >>>IFTTT<<<! Ok, now you’re like: “Wtf?” but IFTTT simply means: If this then that. And this is how it works: You create a “recipe” – a formula that configures what happens if a certain thing is done. For example I created a recipe that automatically posts a link to my newest blog post to my Facebook fan page and twitter. Every time I take a picture on Instagram it will be posted on my Facebook album. Now I don’t have to worry about updating every single post on every website – it happens simultaneously!

I think it’s fantastic. Absolutely what I have been looking for and completely for free too!

I am not going to explain it in detail as you can read a step by step guide >>>here<<<. But I can only recommend it to everyone who wants to instantly update all social media sites without any extra effort.
Btw: I am not getting paid for this. I just want to let everyone know in case some of you have been struggling with this too!

a walk after the rain

Hey everyone!
Hope you’re enjoying your sunday as much as I do! London is treating us with the finest English weather at the moment, but from time to time the sun does make an appearance. So I decided to take a walk after the rain when the air was crisp and the sun glistening in the raindrops.

I’ve had a cystitis the last couple of days (nasty one!) so I avoided going anywhere apart from the obligatory duties like food shopping etc. So while I was more or less forced to stay at home, I used the time to photograph the stuff from my closet clear out and put (most of it) on my Kleiderkreisel account. If you’re not registered but you see anything that you like, feel free to write me an email at londonlastnight[at]hotmail[dot]com. There will be more stuff coming shortly, just takes me ages…

Yesterday I also went to the Westfield Shopping Centre in Stratford, I guess you might have heard of it on a couple of other british blogs, there was the Look Show going on. Basically they’re presenting the new collections from all the main high street retailers there (e.g. H&M, New Look, River Island…). It was in all honesty the most crowded place I have ever been to (and I hate crowded places) so I had a look around an buzzed off after about an hour without buying anything. I would like to have a proper look at the massive F21 in the future but I guess I’ll be avoiding Stratford for the next few weeks until things have cooled down a bit.

On another note, I opened a twitter account on friday and I am still pretty clueless how it works. I am yet to discover what’s so special about it. Maybe you’d like to enlighten me and give me a little intro into the whole twitter thing? You can also follow me if you want but be aware that there is not much going on (as of yet) and I’m not even sure if I got the right link. We’ll see what twitter brings!

So hope you’re all well and have a nice cozy sunday evening!
