You are welcome, Corey – thank you for your note and so glad I could be of some help! 🙂
For some reason, I completely avoid Google+. I’m not really sure why. I think it may be because my posts are really personal to my life and I don’t want everyone who’s on my Google+ page seeing them. Or it could be, just another social media platform I have to tend to. Either way, it could be something to look into. Thanks for always have good tips Donna!!
