Recent Facebook changes means you may not see posts from Petworth News... here's how to make sure you don't miss anything.

Facebook uses some pretty intense algorithms to control the content that shows up on your personal timeline. Recently, they made changes to prioritize posts from family and friends over the Pages you follow. This means you won't see as many Petworth News posts as you might have previously. In fact, you might not see most of them.

Many Petworth News readers use Facebook to keep up with the blog, so making sure you have your notification or follow settings set up correctly is important. Plus, the more Likes and Shares a post gets, the more people Facebook will serve the original post to... so if you enjoyed a Petworth News post, be sure to "Like" it on Facebook so more people can actually see it!

Here are some suggestions to ensure you keep up with the latest from Petworth News:

Facebook notifications:

One option is to update your follow settings so that you see Petworth News posts first in your timeline, or receive a notification when Petworth News posts new content. According to Facebook, I tend to only post about 12 things per week -- so it shouldn't be annoying. And you can always change it back. (Or you can regularly visit the Petworth News Facebook Page...)
