Facebook Changed My Email!!!!!

I hope all those extra exclamation points added to the drama didn’t they?

I keep seeing post after post on how Facebook changed all our email addresses to the default @facebook.com ones without our permission.
I’ll start an online petition as soon as I finish writing this post.  #not

Truth is, there’s not much to get in an uproar over.
You can change them back to whatever you want them to show if you like.
In the mean time, if someone did happen to send you an email – can you guess where it went?

That’s right, it went to your Facebook Messages inbox – and, well, heck! Looks like you were already on Facebook to begin with, right?

Since the day they announced that you could get a Facebook email (and I did) I’ve had it shown prominently over on my sidebar of the blog.  As I see it, I really want you to contact me.  How you do it, is up to you.  That choice should be yours to make.  If you happen to be on Facebook why not be able to send me a message?

If you do want to change yours back just head over to your about tab and then the Contact Info section and edit as you like.

Easy peasy, eh?

UPDATE: The link to that online petition is HERE

Who to host with?

It's the #1 question I'm asked - where to find inexpensive shared hosting. Here's who I recommend.
Data Servers are a HUGE drain on the power grid. Here's a host that sources 300% of it's power from Wind and Solar! On top of that, their service ROCKS!
Check out GreenGeeks

Need more power?

WPEngine has it!
