New Features – Like/Dislike, Share, and Weather

One of my favorite features of Facebook is the “Like” button. As the name implies, it lets your friends tell you that they like something you posted without having to dream up a witty comment. I found something even better for AB.com – the new Like and Dislike buttons below each post. Please use them as you see fit. I just have one request: Mom, please don’t “Like” every single post just because you’re my mom and think I’m great. =) If you like a post, tell me! If you disagree with something, speak up! I have NO way to know who is voting, so you can be completely honest. I look forward to seeing how the votes come in.

You’ve probably also seen Web articles that let you email a link to a friend or post the page to Facebook, Digg, or similar sites. I added this feature as well. So if you REALLY like one of my posts and think others might want to read it, now you can pass it on.

Finally, I added a widget (seriously, that’s what the items in the right sidebar are called) for the local weather in Euless. Since many of you are in the DFW area, I thought it might be helpful. I’m still experimenting with it, so please share any thoughts you have. You can click the link to go to Weather.com for more info on Euless.

Enjoy!
