Facebook Pages

As a Facebook page user I noticed the reach of my posts was pretty low compared to the amount of likes my page has. My page has over 3,000 likes, but according to the Facebook stats most of my posts only reach about 200-800 of people that like the page.
Have some of you other Facebook page users noticed this also?

Well the other day one of the pages I like, Rivet Licker, posted about this also. And the fact that 'likers' have to manually select how many posts they see from your page, although the option is not obvious.

As a page 'liker' you have to hover over the liked button on the pages, then select settings and then select 'all updates'.

I hope that helps some of you guys if you have ever noticed you are missing updates from your favourite pages.

The Black Sunshine facebook page is nearly at an amazing 2000 likes! When it hits that number I will be starting a big giveaway for a full set of custom dreads plus other goodies :)

I was also lucky enough to be featured by a great site called Daft Crafts. They help promote all handmade artists and are super friendly and nice! If you want to check out my feature and learn a bit more about my adventure with Black Sunshine over the past eight years just click HERE.

Crochet goodness!

Ive been working on my crochet style dreads for the last few weeks. Took me a while but I got there :)

I just listed this full set of 40 DE dreads in this style in browns, black & deep purple. They are are much lighter than my usual twisted dreads and have a much more natural look to them :)

If any of you make dreads or are just learning and havent already joined the Hair Extension Society on Facebook you should! It has lots of links to tutorials as well as the really useful feedback polls.

Last week I attended the Devolution magazine Christmas party in Reading. It was mucho fun as always :)
