The three places I post regularly

Nearly everything I post on my Vetty Creations Facebook and Instagram pages, I also post here on my blog, White Threads. Though blogs aren’t particularly fashionable any more, I keep mine going for a couple of very important reasons.

Some time back, Meta had a little spat with the Australian government. It meant that they refused to put any links to Australian news websites on Facebook, and any that were there no longer worked. It’s all been resolved now, and I can’t remember what it was all about, but it brought home to me the fact that I don’t have control over who sees the things I post on FB and Insta.

And then there’s the all important “algorithm” we hear so much about. Who knows when I might fall foul of it, and when you’ll no longer receive any posts from me!

So, if it occurs to you that you’re not hearing from me anymore on Facebook or Instagram, please check here on my blog. It might be that my social media posts simply aren’t being delivered to you anymore (try interacting with my posts more – commenting and liking – and that may help), or it might be that I’m not currently well enough to post, or perhaps I have nothing to say at that time (it does happen!). But my blog should give you an indication of that.

One thing you may find is that there is far less interaction on my blog. If you’re a follower of my blog and are disappointed with the lack of commenting there, generally most of the sparkly debate and witty repartee is to be found on the Vetty Creations Facebook page. It’s where people most engage and write their own thoughts and comments. Instagram is more about the pretty pictures, so fewer people comment, or comment in less depth.

So, I just wanted to explain why you’ll find me posting pretty much the same content in those three different places. You’re welcome to follow me on any or all of them.
