week for the first time, online metrics firm Hitwise said.

The Rules:
• Anything I say today could be outdated tomorrow.
• What I say is mostly my opinion. You can probably do it bigger, better, or different.
• I am not a geek. Facebook is more about content than it is about technology.

Facebook pages are not free.
They cost TIME.
Once your page is built, plan for 15 - 30 minutes a day for a couple weeks. And then 10 minutes a day to maintain..

Privacy?Read the privacy rules weekly. They change at least that often. Really.
You can customize who can see and comment on things you share (like photos), the stuff on your wall, and things you're tagged in.

Hi Linda, My name is Drew Warmath. I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to put together the Ledyard CT page on Facebook. My family moved to Gales Ferry in 1964. I moved away in 1990, but my mother still resides on Pine Lock Drive. I have just spent more than an hour browsing your FB page and your blog at simplyledyard. What wonderful memories I have; from working summers at the Up-Down Sawmill, to driving through 6 inches of water on the "old" Sandy Hollow Road. It's been a delightful journey back through time. Thanks again!Drew
