For several years, Bill Klein and Dr. Jennifer Arnold, the Houston-based husband-and-wife subjects of TLC's "The Little Couple," have wanted to become parents. They tried using a surrogate, which ended in a miscarriage.
But when the show returns for a sixth season Tuesday, April 30, fans will see that the spouses' dearest wish has come true, as they have adopted a 3-year-old boy from China who, like his new parents, has a form of dwarfism. He's named William Rijin Klein, with his birth name now incorporated as his middle name.
Calling from Houston, Klein begins to speak when a squeal is heard in the background.
"Yeah," he tells Zap2it, "Mr. Hungry over here. We're getting him his breakfast. We were used to having meals when it's convenient. It turns out it's not OK with a kid. He tells us when he wants to eat, and it's kind of like clockwork."
Klein and Arnold have discovered the wonders of nonperishable snacks.
"We've figured out all sorts of snacks," says Klein, "which are good at room temperature, that don't get fuzzy in the car. My wife is now a vending machine."
The couple hadn't necessarily intended to adopt from overseas, but the search for a little person to adopt eventually led to William, who was born in Inner Mongolia.
"In places like China and Russia," Klein says, "they don't necessarily look at children with special needs in the same way, and they don't have the same facilities internally. We don't know the birth parents. They left him in the hospital emergency room the day he was born, or a couple of days after.
"Their loss is certainly our gain, because anybody that meets this young man is dumbfounded with his personality, which is nothing sort of awesome."
Arnold, faces the challenge of balancing medicine and motherhood.
"My job comes home with me every day," she says. "I want to be a mom, too. I want to enjoy this time. We worked for how many years to become parents, and I don't want to miss a beat of it."

A number of gaps remain in our understanding of the effects of modifiable and non-modifiable factors on bone development during childhood and adolescence, and the impact of early bone health on the risk for common adult conditions such as osteoporosis and bone fractures. Few pediatric studies have longitudinally assessed bone accrual and changes in bone geometry. Even for physical activity and well-known dietary factors such as fluoride, calcium, and vitamin D, no large cohort of children has been followed to describe bone development from birth through later adolescence. The Iowa Bone Development Study (IBDS), in its 11th year, is a longitudinal cohort investigation of the effects of behaviors, selected physical attributes, and genetic factors on bone development. Our goal is to increase the understanding of childhood/adolescent bone development and determinants of bone health by extending our assessments into later adolescence (ages 15 and 17), thus allowing a comprehensive assessment of bone development from age 5. It has been estimated that by age 17, approximately 86 and 93% of total peak bone mass has accrued for boys and girls, respectively. We have assessed bone measures using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) for our cohort at 5 (n=470), 8 (n=539), and 11 (n=483) years of age;age 13 assessments are nearly complete (n=466 to date);and age 15 exams have been initiated (n=111). Fluoride intake and dietary data have been collected from birth;physical activity assessment continues by accelerometry and questionnaire;and candidate genes involved in bone mineralization, matrix structure, and growth have been studied. We also have analogous explanatory and bone outcome measures for parents of cohort members. In this renewal, we will collect age 15 and 17 bone, fluoride intake and dietary, alcohol, tobacco, physical activity, maturity, and body composition data. We propose to: 1) Assess and define the time-specific and cumulative effects of fluoride intake on bone mass and geometry at age 17 and bone development longitudinally from age 5 to age 17. 2) Assess and define the time-specific and cumulative effects of behaviors (dietary patterns, alcohol intake, tobacco use, and physical activity) and physical attributes (gender, growth and development, body composition, and muscle strength) on bone mass and geometry at age 17 and bone development longitudinally from age 5 to age 17. and 3) Assess and define the time-specific and cumulative effects of behaviors, physical attributes, and genetic factors, as well as interaction effects (environment x environment gene ? environment, and gene ? gene), on bone mass and geometry at age 17 and bone development longitudinally from age 5 to age 17, building on the results obtained by addressing aims #1 and 2 above. Continued follow-up of this cohort will lead to major insights into the relative importance of fluoride and these other factors on bone development and the times of their greatest impact, thus improving our understanding of the best strategies to optimize skeletal health.
Although osteoporosis is generally considered a disease of adults, there is increased recognition of the importance of adequate bone accrual in childhood and adolescence for prevention of bone disease later in life. Many gaps remain in our understanding of how bone develops during childhood/adolescence, including the effects of modifiable and non-modifiable factors. Continued follow-up of the Iowa Bone Development Study cohort to age 17 provides a unique opportunity to assess the relative importance of fluoride and other dietary, physical activity, sexual maturation, body composition, and genetic factors on bone development and accrual. Findings will improve our understanding of the best strategies to optimize skeletal health and prevent future bone disease.

Oilers Point Projections: Defensemen
Robert Vollman
October 26 2012 08:55AM
Every year we project how many points each of the players will score using a couple of different statistical methods, and why should a potential lockout season be any different?
If you're just tuning in, we explained our methodology in more detail in our first piece, which covered the top-six forwards. This time we'll cover the defensemen and then close up in a third and final piece that features the remaining, secondary forwards.
Jason Gregor
October 25 2012 11:35PM
After a lockout wiped out the 2004/2005 season the NHL had to come up with a plan on how to decide the draft order for the "Sidney Sweepstakes." Sidney Crosby had been heralded as the #1 choice for the 2005 draft since he was 14 years old, and now the NHL had the dubious task of trying to come up with a "fair" process to determine which franchise would choose him first overall.
KHL Highlights - Because What Else are you gonna watch?

Howdy y'all!
Here's today's KHL action featuring great goals and saves as usual. You might notice we're missing one game, and that would be CKSA Moscow (Datsyuk, Grabovski, Bryzgalov, Radulov) vs Lev Prague (Zdeno Chara). We're still working on that one. We'll include that in this post as soon as we're done!

Today was actually nuts for KHL highlights, especially for upsets. Semin out-duelled Ovechkin, Fedotenko and Ponikarovsky lit up Malkin and Kulemin, Kovalchuk finally cooled off, and Artyukhin lays a hit that sends a player flying like it's a video game.
How the Edmonton Oilers run their draft
Jonathan Willis
October 24 2012 02:42PM
The Edmonton Sun's Terry Jones wrote a fascinating piece the other day about the Edmonton Oilers' work at the 2010 NHL Draft. While the tone of the piece – and particularly the quotes from AHL head coach Todd Nelson – are Prendergastian in terms of their optimism, it's well worth reading because the team reveals a lot of their philosophy on draft day.

Falkirk MP Eric Joyce was fined £1,500 at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Friday after admitting abusive behaviour at the city's airport.
The 53-year-old was also ordered to pay compensation after he entered a guilty plea to one charge of breach of the peace.
In the incident on 19 May last year, Mr Joyce repeatedly hurled insults at baggage handlers, and racially abused a black police officer.
Speaking outside the court, Mr Joyce said he will now "reflect" on whether to continue at Westminster until the election next year.
"My instinct is to stay but I don't know how I will feel in a few days," he said.
The former Labour MP has previously been fined over a brawl in the House of Commons two years ago, but has always said he will carry on sitting as an independent member.
"I am very embarrassed that this has happened," he said.
"My constituents have seen this before, so they might think other apologies are not meant, but they are."
Asked if he had a problem with alcohol, Joyce said: "I think I am well past that now."
The court had heard earlier that Mr Joyce had been drinking on an evening flight from Heathrow to Edinburgh and that after disembarking he realised that he had left his phone on board.
He asked airport baggage handlers for help but became abusive when they asked for his flight details.
Police officers became involved, but he continued to hurl insults.
Mr Joyce repeatedly shouted and swore at a baggage handler and officers, and goaded officers to arrest him.
He also referred to an officer of Afro-Caribbean origin as "fat and black".
The court heard that Mr Joyce began to "flail his arms" when one officer attempted to put him in handcuffs, and he continued to resist until he was restrained on the floor.
Sheriff Frank Crowe described his actions as a "deeply unfortunate, prolonged, drink-fuelled rant".
"At least you have taken this opportunity to apologise," the sheriff said.
As well as imposing a fine, the sheriff ordered Joyce to pay £100 compensation to airport staff and £50 to the police officer he racially insulted.
Defence lawyer Euan Gosney said Joyce was in a "high state of anxiety" because of the recent death of his brother and previous trouble with police.
"He accepts that he allowed this baggage to get on top of him, to get the better of him," he said.
"When he was faced with what he perceived to be a lack of assistance, he allowed himself to become emotional, to overreact, to become abusive."
Mr Gosney added: "A conviction of this nature will inevitably make a return to any form of public life difficult, if not impossible."
Mr Joyce became an independent MP after he was expelled from the Labour Party following his conviction for assaulting politicians in a House of Commons bar in 2012.
The former Army major was fined £3,000 and banned from pubs for three months following the brawl in the Strangers' Bar.
Mr Joyce's arrival at Westminster in 2000 came shortly after he quit the Army, making claims of snobbery, sexism and racism in the armed forces.
He was elected to Parliament as Labour MP for Falkirk West in a by-election.
He increased his majority in the general elections of 2001 and 2005 when the constituency was renamed Falkirk after constituency changes, and held on by a comfortable margin in 2010.

Mission & Vision
Our Mission:
To provide sustainable programs that generate positive change for Nigerian children and their communities.
Our Vision:
The vision of A2S is that each child/person in Nigeria finds a dignified path to a successful life and is empowered to live out God's plan for a future filled with hope.
Essential to communities being lifted out of poverty are holistic programs that address not just the physical needs of currently struggling communities but their spiritual and psychological needs. A2S envisions communities in which individuals can be productive members of society, living with mutual respect and love for one another.
The vision of the After School Academy is to transform and empower the lives of Nigerian children through academics and athletics, increasing the percentage of students who achieve higher levels of education and thereby reducing poverty in Nigeria.
Essential in helping young people achieve their goals are education, leadership and teamwork skills, faith, and community and family support. A2S envisions a future where no child is not in school due to socioeconomic reasons. We aim to provide holistic ministry to create long-term, sustainable growth by working in communities with local support.
Our Core Values:
Focus: We remain focused on stories, not numbers.
Integrity: We are constantly mindful of how we present the needs of others when working with our benefactors and beneficiaries.
Impact: We are committed to impacting lives and not space.
Sustainable: We aim to bring about purposeful, long-term change in the lives of those we support.
Servanthood: We serve with humility, innovation, consistency, transparency, and urgency as inspired by the unconditional love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Statement of Ministry:
Access to Success (A2S) is a non-denominational, Christian non-profit organization. A2S is dedicated to playing its part to eliminate poverty and provide hope through educational, athletic and spiritual based initiatives. Our ministry was founded on the premise that every child and youth should have an opportunity to dream, irrespective of location. We believe that access to education, sports or after-school activities, and growth opportunities should be basic rights for all.
A2S does not discriminate or turn people away because Christ welcomed all. Everyone who is touched by what we do and wants to be a part of this work is welcome regardless of background or religious preference. Children in need are of diverse backgrounds and religion; our policy supports providing hope and promoting change irrespective of race or religion. We embrace supporters and volunteers from all backgrounds.
At A2S, our motivation stems from Jeremiah 29:11 that says "For I know the plans I have for you, 'declares the Lord' plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Our ministry and approach hinge on a few major theological concepts. We are inspired by examples set by our Lord Jesus Christ who blessed many by loving them unconditionally. The A2S ministry follows the teachings of Jesus who instructed us to be not only "hearers but doers." We profess our faith but have a deeply rooted conviction that our works should justify our faith. To this effect, we operate a hands-on approach of expressing love through action. A2S ministry acts by providing year round educational and entrepreneurial opportunities, feeding programs and other community based initiatives to help provide hope and a future to those who are not as fortunate as we are.

First of all, your Representatives and Senators do want to hear from you. The majority of their D.C. staffâs time is spent reviewing and answering constituent mail. How much of an impact your communication has can be significantly impacted by how and what you write. Our aim here is to provide guidelines to maximize your impact. It does take a little extra effort to do it right, but since so much is at stake, we hope you will agree it is worth the effort.
These guidelines were developed after consultation with experts who understand exactly how to get your message across to Members of Congress. You are certainly free to ignore them, but if you do, you are most likely wasting your time and potentially hurting our cause. Please, follow the list of doâs and donâts below that will boost your chances of being heard in a meaningful way. We need every voice to count.
Donât bother sending communications to Members of Congress that donât represent you. Mail from folks who are not constituents is discarded or ignored.
Find your Members of Congress and their email, address, etc. here:
NOTE: DO NOT use the âone clickâ link to âFederalâ on the results page or the Web mail link provided by CapWiz. Email from CapWiz will be classified as a "campaign" email.
Click on each Senator and your Representative individually and use their own Web page email link.
Donât send a postal letter or fax unless you cannot access e-mail or the Internet. All incoming letters are irradiated to eliminate possible biological threats and that slows down delivery by a few days to a week. Further, both faxes and letters require extra handling and processing that further delays their input and your message.
Donât just send a form email, fax or letter. If they all look like they came from the same group or source, they receive even less attention. (More on this in the DO section below.)
Donât YELL, donât rant and donât be rude! While you may be perfectly correct in calling the government officials involved idiots, or worse, it only brands you as a crank in staffsâ minds and your communication will receive much less attention. Using rude language or going off on an emotional rant will cause your communication to be downgraded even further, if not simply ignored.
Donât get sidetracked by issues other than the exact one you are concerned about. Stay focused; stay on message.
Donât call, unless the Member or staff is a personal friend (in which we need to talk ASAP!). Written communication is generally more effective.
Donât send multiple copies of the same letter. Once your position is noted, it is registered in the Memberâs database and is added to the regular pro/con reports given to him/her. Multiple identical letters actually diminish your impact.
Donât expect an immediate reply or a personal reply. Offices representing large population states regularly receive 4000 to 6000 emails a day when hot topic issues are in the news. Most offices try to respond in 2-3 weeks, but that time can vary immensely. If youâre from Montana or South Dakota you might get a response in a couple of days, but these small population states are the exception. In almost all cases, you will receive a form letter response. Donât take offense; itâs all that can be expected given the volume of correspondence the Memberâs staff must deal with.
Do write. Seriously, you can make a difference, but only if you act. You canât depend on someone else. Knife Rights alone cannot do it, you have to write. One of the few things politicians understand is votes and numbers. Every email or letter counts and staffers tell us even one or two can tip the balance in some cases.
Do send an e-mail, but the most effective way by far is to use the Web form on the Senatorâs or Representatives website (in fact, for most Senators thatâs the only way to send an e-mail). These e-mails are formatted for easiest processing and are the easiest format of communications for the staff to handle. By all means, if you cannot send an email, write and send a postal letter, but email is preferred. If you must write, typed is preferred over handwritten.
Do give them as much personal information as you care to share as that makes it easier for them to identify you as a constituent and also to reply to you.
Do be as polite as you possibly can. It does make a difference in how seriously your communication is taken.
Do strongly state your position in a personal manner. Simply cutting and pasting your organizationâs position into the email or letter, without personalization, lessens the impact significantly. Always place your personal comments at the beginning of the e-mail or letter. Then you can put in the organizationâs carefully thought out position statements. The software used in Membersâ offices scans the text of incoming e-mails and letters and places repetitive texts in a âcampaignâ category, but generally only scans the first few lines. Your personalization makes a big difference in the impact of your communication. Personalization means it will be read by a staffer and that is a huge advantage Take the time to truly make your first paragraph personal, why this issue matters to YOU. We will provide suggestions, but write it yourself in your own words. This is critical.
Do be positive and assertive If youâre writing about a problem with a government agencyâs position, as is the case here, donât just complain, offer a solution, or at the least, make your criticisms and comments in a positive manner. Make it easy for them to help you. Knife Rights has provided you effective language to accomplish this in our sample letter.
Do please click here to send us an email (email@example.com) to let us know you've sent the letter and emails. Because you are sending a hard copy letter and emails via Members' web forms, we won't know you did it unless you let us know. It is critical that we be able to know how many have responded.

We, the People of the Planet
Duncan Graham, Global Citizens Association. www.planetfederation.org January 2008
Vancouver BC Canada
email: firstname.lastname@example.com
The integration of the planet, it has been said, was inevitable after the Del Cano - Magellan circum-navigation of the world in 1522. A hundred years ago Marconi effected electronic closure of the globe with radio. The first flight around the world by USAAF was in 1924. It was sent off by U.S. President Cleveland with the prophesy that inter-continental travel would be by air in four hundred years. (In fact it took only 40 years for air to supersede sea). On 12th April 1961Yuri Gagarin, cosmonaut, circled the earth in space orbit in 90 minutes.
History is being telescoped.
In 1842 Tennyson wrote in his prophetic poem Locksley Hall. Yes, we dip into the future, far as human eye can see. See the vision of the world and all the wonder that shall be. In the parliament of all, the federation of the world.
The planet, it has been said, is a cryptocracy camouflaging its innovators. We now have a planetary community, the brotherhood and sisterhood of human kind, the Nation of Humanity. The world is intra-dependent. But there is no self-government for the Global Village, the planetary ecumene. There is a political power vacuum at the world level. Fundamental crucial issues of peace, security, economic and social justice, human and wildlife rights and ecological protection are planetary in nature. Human sovereignty in a planetary society supersedes national jurisdictions.

Yes, blackboard and all the other LCMS are rubbish (in my opinion) with respect to creating content. That's why we started the Burrokeet project. It is a tool for creating content that can be delivered through these apps (we use Forrest to generate the static pages). During the build I realised parts could be extracted and would be useful here. Ross

For subsites with our standard configuration, in order to establish a sub-subsite that only the pagemasters can access (for example, to experiment with CommonSpot privately), follow the general instructions for modifying subsite security, including clearing the check-box in step 5, and with the following particular steps at step 6:
In "Content Security" click on the "pencil" icon to edit the rights for both "anonymous users" and "authenticated users", setting them both explicitly to have no rights (don't just un-check "Read").
For both categories of user, do not remove that category (saving with no box checked will remove the category; if you do that, fix it right away by clicking on "Add Group" at the lower-left, and select the group, which should be near the top of the list, then click on "No Rights" if it is not already selected).
When done, close the lightbox.
Any subsite that does not have Read access for Anonymous in Content Security will be password-protected.

discussion on Suite101.com (http://www.suite101.com/discussion.cfm/14901/86706)
on growing moss. There is also a book on moss from Timber Press (http://www.timberpress.com/books/index.cfm?do=details&ID=351).
Personally, unless you are planning on wanting the moss on planters, etc.
for an old look, I'd try transplanting small pieces of mosses that grew
locally in identical or almost identical conditions to the transplanted
area and keep moist. Hope this helps! --- Georgene Bramlage---

I have had a blast finding relatives, living and passed, from findagrave. I hope I will be able to discover more about the past while helping others in their search.
I work from internment list, please contact me if you think I've made a typo, want to add more information or just want to take over the memorial page. I tried to carefully enter all information just as if it was my own families, but mistakes still happen and I can only enter what is already on the list (mistakes included, so please be kind in pointing errors out). Can't wait to start on the next cemetery!

RE: Cecelia 'Celia' True
Ah, your distance would prove to be an issue! I will do some leg work and see what I can find. My thoughts: I believe there is only one woman given the unique name, & the details match from the obit to the census records. I think you are right about the financial/burial issue needing to be delayed, I'd thought the same thing. It might take a while to get an answer, but I'll let you know what I find out.

Cecelia 'Celia' True
Hi Wendi ~ I'm a volunteer contributor like you, and I believe we may have duplicate memorials for Cecelia True. A member noticed it and contacted me. Mine is #157377738 in Logan Park, Sioux City. She is in the 'Potter's Field' area, so has no marker; mine has an interment date of Feb 13, 1946, 4 days after your date. I looked for public records, & 1930/1940 censuses have her at the Poor Farm, so a county (free) burial makes sense. The 'Ivan Winter funeral home' in your obit is the name of the Poor Farm that was here. I work at the cemetery, and double checked our records but didn't find any further info. Do you know if there is a marker in the Anthon cemetery? Or if yours maybe has a family plot? This could be an interesting challenge ~ let me know what you think!

Hi. Thanks for your quick response. Claud and Donald are listed in the same plot and one has an obit/death notice. I thought that they could have been twins who died at birth, but the obit indicated one infant stillborn not twins. I will let you know if I come up with anything more.

Viola (Olive) Cobb Conklin
Was wondering perhaps if you have a copy of deed from Correctionville records that lists that Viola was buried in Correctionville, Iowa Cemetary? She is my great grandmother and we have never been able to find the location of her burial. My assumption she is buried in the plot with Cornelius Conklin her husband, but have no proof. Perhaps the deed would show the plot?

54 Responses to Google Plus Social Network or SEO Advantage?
Hi ma'am,
Excellent article with an infographic. It is easier to understand with images. I think Google plus is best social networking website in terms of getting visitors from there, But very not very easy indeed. You have to share your post consistently on Google Plus so that it can attract people out there. But most of the people don't know the value of Google Plus, they just spend their time on it.
Mohit farswan recently posted…Windows 10 Features For PC, Mobile, Bugs and Reviews
Google Plus social media network is good way to drive direct traffic for blogs like other social media …
But you need to notice that Google+ is a service operated by Google .
Google always put weight on content that is shared on Google+ and it improves the Search rank in Google thus SEO advantage is also there …
its a prefect lesson for the new bloggers like me.. social networking sites playing an important role for our daily lifes as well as bloggers .. now every blogger using google + as same as a twitter.. thaks for the post.. including actually i mostly participate in google plus rather than twitter or fb.
Hey Lisa,
You're opening doors for a wonderful discussion with this informative post 🙂
I'm with Brenda's definition about Google+ too – but still I think we can improve the privacy by tweaking some settings though.
Actually, the first days of Google+ was all about gaming for me. It was amazing and there was a lot of engagement as I recall. Now it's quite a platform I reserved for blogging related activities. Since Google+ is Google's social platform, content worth sharing over there.
But imagine if Bing (Microsoft) introduced a social network. They already have. I think it's the brand "Google" got our attention as bloggers, and integrating Google+ with Google Search has been another reason due to SEO advantage. Isn't it?
If I may, Google Places and Google+ are two products as I know, Lisa 🙂 Now Google Places is Google My Business, and they still send postcards in US? My cousin verified his two weeks back and didn't send a postcard though.
Apart from all, what amaze me is that I've seen more people now use Google+ as a blogging platform 🙂 Create and circulate wonderful information within Google+ and they seem to grab more attention as well. I didn't encounter such on Facebook much though. Hmm… Google+ has potential, but it seems moving slow. Orrr… less dynamic.
BTW, is this the post you have been composing while you're at hospital? All I have to say is brilliant! 🙂 I thought you're only addicted to coffee and Twitter. Nah, and blogging too
Hope you're having a lovely Sunday while in the speedy recovery dear.
Take care dear friend 🙂
Mayura recently posted…How to Secure Your Twitter Account
In my view Google plus has advantage as both social network and seo because more friends make it wonderful social network and more plus one votes helps in SEO.
Hi Lisa,
Hope you are getting stronger everyday. 🙂 I really do love Google+ . I confess I don't use it that much anymore. Not because I don't believe in it, because I really really really do. In fact, I used to promote the heck out of it. My biggest reason for not using it is simply my time schedule and restraints. I share my info there but in regards to finding time to engage strongly there, it is so limited. I tend to focus on facebook, twitter, pinterest, instagram and linkedIn. It's silly I know. I have a large following there on G+. I should be finding the time to engage there.
I'm going to go check this link out from Samantha you have here. Thanks for sharing. 🙂 Have a good week.
I've a lot of friends in my Google+ profile but when I post something there, it's not bring much visitors to my site as well. I don't know why and just think maybe they don't interested in my post.
Hi Lisa,
good to see you are back online.
I'm so sorry for your accident, I hope you are recovering well.
Coming to your post, I think Google+ will always be attractive for webmasters and people working online.
I think it can be good, both for social purposes, or for SEO benefits.
I'm sure Big G will bring soon some news to its social network.
My best wishes for a good recovery, Lisa.
Sending you positive energy! 😛
Erik Emanuelli recently posted…6 New Social Media You Need to Watch
Google Plus is getting a lot a negative press these days. My crystal ball doesn't work anymore, but I doubt the sr. execs will pull the plug on G+ anytime soon. I still think there's value in the social engagement dynamic that G+ provides and if you're included in a user's Circles, your content will be elevated in the SERP's as a result and that's a good thing – right?
Neil Ferree recently posted…How to Dramatically Increase Your Online Visibility
Hi Lisa,
Hope you are feeling better now.
Google+ is a good way to get loyal reader and more traffic. You have explained it in a very nice way using inforgraphic. I think I can make get more traffic using your tips in inforgraphic.
Thanks for sharing! Take rest and get well soon. 🙂

Hi Lisa:
Great post you have written on Google Plus.
I do not use it all that much due to time constraints..24 hours is too less in a day. But, I have included the address of my various websites on Google Plus.
The visuals you have shared are just awesome, how did you make them? Thanks for this great post.
Best wishes and regards.
Take care.

Hey Lisa,
I sure hope you're doing much better my dear. I'm so sorry for your accident and not a fun way to spend your birthday this year. Boy this one will always be remembered won't it?
I hear more changes are coming to Google+, splitting it down the middle or something. I briefly glanced at what's to come now but you did a great job of explaining this to those who still aren't familiar with what exactly it is. Like any new social media platform, or in this case they changed the name and some features, it takes awhile to get use to it. It took me some time too and I blog! LOL!!!
Great job Lisa and take it easy girl. We miss you but want you well.

Hey Lisa, great little write up and infographic, it's so easy to assume that everyone knows about Google+ and it's purpose because we use it often. But I completely agree, I often chat to old clients who have seen the site but never really know what it's about.
I spend far more time on Google+ than I do on Facebook, for me Google+ isn't so much of a ghost town as Facebook is or can be. I've not yet got involved in doing any hangouts yet, that's one feature of Google+ I think I need to take advantage of more. Also I don't do as much on my Google+ business page as I do with my profile, that's just something I've always done from the start.
Hope you get fixed up soon Lisa, sorry to hear about accident.

Some really useful information there, thanks! Only recently discovered Google+ and I'm encouraging our clients to leave us reviews, but Google don't make it easy for these busy people.
Hope you recover quickly. If you look at my biog on the website you'll see I went through something similar when I was younger. It's surprising how fast we heal. 🙂
Hi Lisa,
I'm sorry to hear about your injury and I hope you're on the mend?
Regarding Google Plus, I'm LOVING it!!!! I have made a number connections with some massive influencers and I love the results I'm getting.
I get as my click through's to my website and blog, if not more, than any other social site and yes there is definitely and SEO advantage with it.
Personally, I'm a fan.
I hope you feel better soon and have a great end to your week!

Hi Lisa,
I hope you're feeling better.
I still don't know my way around Google Plus which explains why I'm hardly on there. The way you broke it down and the infographic helped a lot. Now I'll have a better idea of how to engage and get noticed on there thanks to you.
Thanks for sharing all this info with us. Get well soon!

Hi Lisa,
Very nice explanation. And I am highly impressed with those infographics that you have used in this post. I have been active on G+ plus to generate a generate traffic but after reading this post, now I know how to get the best out of G+. Thank for sharing such valuable information.

Hi Lisa,
I hope you're feeling better!
I am warming up to G Plus because Google gives its little brother some serious juice in search engines. Network, or Circle Mates, will pop up on your web searches for certain keywords and vice versa when they search for keywords included through your shares. I don't see this with Facebook but then again, FB doesn't own Google 😉
I intend to be active on G Plus regularly. I've just focused my attention and energy on Twitter so much and on blog commenting, as well as doing the eBook and content creation bit, that I have little time for working G Plus intelligently and effectively.
Thanks for giving me the nudge Lisa 😉
Please make sure to rest up too!

Hi Lisa,
Good to have you back. My healing prayers are still with you. You are a real trooper coming back online. But I find that working is the best medicine.
I love using Google+ for so many things from sharing other people's posts to Google Hangouts. As I looked through this infographic I was surprised at the small number of marketers using this platform. There is a lot of controversy in the marketer's world about it, but I love it!
It comes to no surprise to me that images receive a high percentage of +. People love images there. I have to get on my game with that one!
Thanks for all the information you have given us. It sure helps so much.

Hi Lisa,
Nice article and thanks for sharing dear friend! For me, Google+ is a twin edged blade. If I have to decide, it would be around 70% SEO and 30% social media site.
Like today, Google decided to slit Photos and Streams seperately just shows that it is desperate to grab real users trying to engage on G+.
We will all be using G+ as long as there is Google dominating the search. But do remember that FB, Twitter and LinkedIn are very close-by.
Hey Lisa,
Your back and I hope you are feeling better now after your accident! I know you were really inching to come back and felt like you were missing all of the blogging action.
When users first look to Google+, they are pretty confused on how it all works and come together. It's a good thing that you related the Google+ features with the Facebook features since its pretty come for people to use Facebook a lot more.
But yes there are many benefits to Google+. I'm said to say, but I just figured out how to do a mention on Google+ :(.. it's bit different since on Facebook the name tends to pop up as oppose to Google+ you have to add the '+' sign and then the name. So I've been making sure that I put this into practice each time I share a post!
Great share Lisa and talking about these basics, comparing them to Facebook features will definitely uplift the confusion with a lot of people!

Hi Lisa,
I would say to Google Plus is both a social networking site and a source of SEO enrichment. Social media is an important factor for search engine rankings. One of the ranking factor is social media signals. We can all assume that Google+ signals will be a valuable part of that.
Other than that, it's a great place for networking and communicating with people. Communities are really helpful unlike Facebook groups.
Thanks for sharing such an informative post.

Hey Lisa, thanks for the explanations. Although I am on Google+, I admit I am still trying to figure out how to best use it.
So sorry about the snowmobile accident. Hope you mend quickly!

Yeah! She's back! I've never used voice activation to write a blog post, only texting. Was it pretty accurate?
As for your post, thanks first of all for the mention. G+ is very hard to explain. I've been trying to spend more time on there and build more interaction. I do find it difficult though. Facebook is definitely a lot easier. Maybe because FB is more friends that business acquaintances? I do have a personal profile as well as a brand page for JLAFW that I continue to try and build. I do like G+ better now that I did when I was first on it. I think it just takes time understand it and time to build your communities.
A fabulous post Lisa. I'm definitely passing it along.
P.S. Sending love to you from Delaware.

Oh oh sorry to hear that my dear friend.
Yes I have note seen you around for a while and I couldn't think it was accident. I pray you heal soon my dear friend.
This is a good post to send to someone who ask to know what Google plus is all about. A few days ago, I was with a young blogger who knew nothing else apart from Facebook and Twitter. I had no time to explain Google plus to her so I think I have here something for her 😉
Once more, get well soon Lisa 😉

Hi Lisa,
Good to have you back, though you should be resting still after all that you've gone through. We wish you a speedy recovery 🙂
Coming to the post, yes – it can be pretty tough to explain about yet another social network, which is comparatively new as compared to the popular ones like Facebook and Twitter, and it's not everyone's cup of tea (G+).
I guess because I was on it right when it started, it was all very easy as you learn along. And it takes you a while to learn your way, but that's the same with any social media platform. This infographic says it all, along with your post. Yes, communities are a great help, though I've still to try out the Hangout feature from the list.
Thanks for sharing this with us. Take care and get well soon 🙂

Lisa sorry for the injury and great to know that you will soon be done with the surgery. I know what it feels to dislocate a bone but for fracture I haven't been there and don't pray to experience it. Happy that you were at least able to do some little writing. Yes even if its with the aid of voice activation tool.
On my own have been quite busy with my job and haven't heard enough time to focus on blogging hope to remedy that soon.
As regard your post I concur that Google plus is both as I have seen my pics still appear on Google search despite the deactivation of this feature on official google search
