<div dir="ltr">I do not subscribe to Facebook, I never have and never will. I keep away from social media sites. The best way to do it is have a link such that if someone goe into Google and types any combination of the "Wireless&Steam museum it will direct you to several sites. Also when you sign into the Facebook NEWS it will aks for a log in or become a member, Just click the X in the upper right hand corner and you go right in as a guest, TRY TO KEEP IT SIMPLE OR PEOPLE WILL NOT PUT IN ANY EFFORT.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Feb 17, 2024 at 7:13 AM Vbob via Thursday <<a href="mailto:thursday@newsm.org">thursday@newsm.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word;line-break:after-white-space">Ken, et al - I just commented on a post by Michael in the Vintage Electronic Test Equipment Facebook group - a bit of gentle snark about finding stuff… - and used Facebook’s ‘automagic match’ to include a link to the Museum Facebook page in my comment - except that it offered three very similar groups - one spelt with an Ampersand, and another with the word AND, and a third I didn’t explore… try as I might I can’t get it to choose the official page - and now I can’t get it to offer all three choices again, but only the two similar unofficial pages…… need more coffee.<div><br></div><div>A workaround is to paste the URL into a post - but I do like the cleaner feel of the name being a link in the text of a post or comment.<br><div><br></div><div>The ‘Ampersand’ Facebook page splashes in with a invitation to the 2023 Car Show, while one of the ‘And’ pages goes to an unofficial but interesting presentation of the Museum. </div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.facebook.com/NEWirelessSteamMuseum" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/NEWirelessSteamMuseum</a> seems to be the ‘official’ page and opens with a nice shot of the big engines…</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/New%20England%20Wireless%20" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pages/New%20England%20Wireless%20</a><b><font color="#669c35">and%20</font></b>Steam%20Museum/144134172264489 - unofficial page but <b>fairly</b> current</div><div><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/New%20England%20Wireless%20" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pages/New%20England%20Wireless%20</a><b><font color="#b51a00">&%20</font></b>Steam%20Museum/1095731340460661/ - unofficial page but last post from 2016</div><div><br></div><div>How did we end up with multiple variously updated pages, and who manages it/them/us?</div><div><br></div><div>Can/should we figure out how to have one official page? </div><div><br></div><div>Does any of this make sense?
