I have the blog, Twitter, personal Facebook, some MySpace account I haven&#8217;t checked in a year, a LinkedIn account that I forgot the password to, an Iqons account that I liked except it wasn&#8217;t very user friendly and so on. Plus, I have to read 50 million blogs, give or take a few. But if a smart young lady like Vyque tells me to do something, I figure I better do it. And guess what? The fan page is a great place to collect all the photos of gorgeous clients wearing WendyB jewelry. The official <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wendybrandes.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Wendy Brandes website<\/a> is reserved for the serious studio photography.  I&#8217;ve posted the client photos on the blog, but they&#8217;re scattered throughout all the posts and hard to find.  Now I can put the client photos in one place and, as you&#8217;ll see, pictures of the jewelry on actual people give you a better sense of the size of the pieces than pictures of the jewelry in isolation.<\/p>\n<p>Even better from my point of view is that peeps  can post their OWN photos of themselves in WendyB jewelry in the fan album. If I haven&#8217;t posted your photo yet in my album, feel free to do it yourself and save Mama a little bit of work. She&#8217;s got 50 million blogs to read.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center; font-weight: bold;\">Become my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/album.php?aid=106153&amp;id=83866321152&amp;saved#\/pages\/Wendy-Brandes-Jewelry\/83866321152\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook fan right here<\/a>, right now!<\/div>\n<p> <\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the Independent Fashion Blogger meetup in New York last month, a gorgeous blogger nagged me to set up a Facebook fan page for my jewelry line.
