I’m such a Luddite. StumbleUpon has been around since 2001. I’ve only recently heard about someone in my social circle using it (my sister). So, then, a week later, I’m trying it.

(My website for this class in its current state.) During yesterday’s review session in Web Design Bootcamp, I was recognized for having a website that was more advanced in styling in CSS than the other students.

This is for people that don’t really know anything about social media. A lot of books I’ve read about social media don’t start with the the idea of the brand being the hub of your social media strategy. I wanted to explain the initial planning which is in the branding stage. Social media is just…
