    Interesting app. Thanks for the share Joey. I understand EmptyNest's point though. If anyone's looking for an alternative that works similarly, there's a free web service called IFTTT (If This Then That). Basically, you connect channels (Instagram account, WordPress account) to your IFTTT...

    @muirford Thanks for sharing that article. I think it was a good move on Facebook's end to do so for a better user experience. @K9 & @Sunshine Nice approach. As long as it benefits your followers, I think it's good to share something outside of promoting your business. It also helps to...

    Question about Google Analytics

As long as you think they're highly relevant and that you'd be providing value to the user for directing them to those pages on other sites, then do...

    Oh no! It's never fun (and rarely successful) to try and fix problems after the fact. I hope it's not a custom-built CMS. These days, there are so many great CMS options out there... the one I always use and recommend is WordPress of course :)
