My Patreon will launch in 1 week! I took all the results of the poll and I have hopefully created fun and appealing tiers. About my Patreon: I'm trying something new for the next 6-7 months. If it works, I'll continue, but if I end up not liking it, I'll stop it in September or October. I will be starting a monthly subscription membership on a new Patreon account. I will be posting the chapters of my current book ( Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 7 ) so you can read ahead of when the ebook will be edited and published. My current plan is to post 1-2 chapters weekly. One reason I’m switching things up is that I want to get closer to my readers and build a tighter, more intimate community with you. You can comment on each chapter of my book, give a reaction, ask a question, or even correct mistakes. My books will become a dialogue with you. If you subscribe to my Patreon, you'll be charged monthly and have access to all the benefits for the tier you subscribe to. The
Captain's Log, Stardate 03.20.2012
I’ve been annoyed lately because Facebook changes SO often that I have to keep changing my settings in order to make sure I get the feed updates I want.
My latest annoyance is that I didn’t know how to get the news feeds of the pages I liked, like the ones for music artists and TV shows.
But this also includes Authors I’ve liked, which is what spurred me to figure out how to do this.
How to get updates from your “liked” pages on your main Facebook news page:
1) Go to your profile.
2) Click on your Likes.
3) You’ll see a list of everything you’ve “liked” on Facebook. Hover your mouse over each one, and a little box will pop up.
4) Hover your mouse over the gray “Liked” box. A dropdown list will show up.
5) There will be a section called “Add to lists” and you may already have lists or there is an option to add a “New list.” You can add the page to a list already there, or add a new list.
6) When you add a new list, you’ll get a popup box. From here, you can add other pages to your new list besides the one page. Click on “Pages” on the right side and add any pages you want in your new list. You can also add friends and subscriptions, but for my Facebook newsfeed, I’ve already put my friends in different “friend” lists.
7) After you’ve added your pages, click Next at the bottom right.
8) Here you can name your list and also pick who can see your list. You can make it public, viewable only by your friends, or viewable only by yourself. Then click Done at the bottom right.
Another option is to get page updates in your email inbox, which I’ve also done via Hyper Alerts. Here’s a good article explaining Hyper Alerts and how to use it.
How do you get updates from your favorite Facebook pages? Any ideas besides these two solutions?

I was so glad to find this blog, my husband and I have a website that is so heavily Facebook integrated that updates can be a pain... Finding your blog at least makes me feel like I'm not the only one.
Thanks for the information it has been so nice to discover things I had no idea I could do on facebook.
