If you have a bunch of friends, your stuff doesn't always go to them. The algorithm of who sees a picture among your friends is complicated. If you have followers, they're more likely to get your picture than friends who don't like or comment. I also get more feedback on Facebook than here, but it is probably because I rarely post feedback here unless I think I have something to say, and on the LUG you don't get it if you don't give it. The place I get the most return is among my email list, mostly people who were on the Archivist list, before they went all business. One woman, a federal employee in Alaska, thanks me and comments on every single picture I post. Even Kathy doesn't do that. ;-) Wonder if anyone will comment on this posting? from my iPad Sonny Carter > On May 3, 2015, at 9:02 PM, Gerry Walden <gerry.walden at icloud.com> > wrote: > > I think it just a question of numbers Tina, there are far more people > looking on Facebook.
