Re: [PCES] RESENT: PCES
I have a better idea for those that hate blather. Perhaps you should remove me from the chairperson position. I do not have time for people that push my way or the highway and contribute nothing. Obviously, trying to discuss and get ideas in a general setting appears to be upsetting to some. Guess that is democracy (anti political correctness.

There are a couple of ways to blog using FaceBook. The first would be to simply treat FB like a blog - status updates and photo uploads can be used as periodic posts. The other way is to develop a true blog on some other hosting service (I use WordPress for my own blog) and have blog posts automatically fed to the FB page. Either way is fairly easy (once you become familiar with the platform) but face an uphill climb in terms of gaining audience - a FB page must be Like in order for it to show up in somebody's news feed, and a blog must either be subscribed to or otherwise bookmarked for somebody to receive notification whenever new content is posted. In my opinion, how to blog is not so much the problem versus who will blog. We have FB pages both for the Society and for the journal. So far, I've been using the PPE FB page to post status of PPE issues and occasional links to articles of general interest to editors, reviewers or authors. I do also occasionally blog on behalf of PPE on my own blog - usually longer, more informative posts with figures or multiple components that don't fit nicely on FB. I'm not sure that anyone else has ever posted on the page, although I have given administrative access to all members of the PPE Editorial Board (at least those that are on FB that I am aware of). Chris Borkent is managing the PCES FB page (I've
Re: [PCES] RESENT: PCES
Hi John, The reason I haven't answered your email is that my life took a sudden turn and I have been so busy there has been no time for non-essential emails. I recently accepted a job on very short notice, at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden. I would still like to be part of the PCES, and I enjoy social media blather - and now it will keep me connected to my Bay Area interests, friends and colleagues! SBBG is all Ca native plants, and provides me a great opportunity to pursue my interest in flower-visiting insects. There is a nice collection at the nearby SB Natural History Museum. I do hope to be able to come to an occasional meeting, but in the meantime: Facebook! As to blogging, I don't even have time for writing that is already overdue. Facebook takes just a few moments, and allows me to network in a variety of areas of interest. I find I can get MORE work done when I can take a minute or two break on Facebook. The Insecta-Palooza page continues to grow (https://www.facebook.com/SSU.InsectaPalooza), with fans from all over the world, and every time I see the new 'likes', I just think Good! More people who like insects enough to want to learn more about them. Granted, it isn't as serious as PCES. I would be happy to post some serious entomological news on the PCES facebook page. My two cents worth.
