It's kind of social network but not. I got invited by someone and someone else is following me already, but I don't really get how to move around in it. Can anyone give me any tips? I'm kind of a computer dunce at times. Thanks!!

It is fun, but there is so much, it is a little overwhelming. TGH is on there so much, Bill. Nice! I can invite people to join. I think I just need your email address, so if anyone wants an invitation you can PM me your email address. I started pinning some stuff so you can follow me, too. I'm pretty boring though... ~Beth~

They would be easily retrievable if my computer crashed. But I'd need to go into privacy things and read it. I am not fond of laying it all out there. ~Tina Drama Free Zone.

I try to be careful about putting too much out there as well. I think backing up your computer onto a back-up drive would be better than saving everything to a public site.

So I will not be joining the ranks there. I didn't enter any of the personal information when I joined and I usually just make up a fake name when I have to use a name on a forum. I have a secret FB account that I don't share with many people. I have a fake name and entered only the bare minimum information and made up what I could. I like to use the services but I don't want everyone to have my personal information. I totally understand how you feel.

I had a bunch of people following me immediately and I had not even pinned anything. I tried not to put personal info but someone it became attached to my facebook profile - not sure if a follower somehow caused that to happen or what. I never took the time to figure out how to work it or why I would want to. I don't surf the net enough to pin a bunch of stuff.

Copying without asking Dodge - it seems to me, that if you post a piture here on this website that anyone viewing it has access to it? Those pictures on the page Bill linked to were taken directly from this website. Unless Bill puts a copy protection on all of our pictures, then I believe they are up for grabs. That is why I am very careful about which pictures I share online these days. Especially pictures of my family.

Each picture links back to the page on TGH or AGF so others can find it. I'm flattered when I see my pix and pages on there and it helps me when people post links to my stuff. As to the Garden Helper following that lead... I'm not going to change a thing from what I am doing right now!

Carol, I only remembering needing to give an email and create a username and password, no other info. If you sign in using Facebook it asks you to allow Facebook to get your info. You can go into your settings and and revoke that so that the two are no longer linked. I've had to do that with other web sites. Plant smiles, grow giggles, harvest love.
