The Hidden Gem of Italy – The Top Reasons to Visit Bologna
I was fortunate enough to be invited by Emilia Romagna Region Tourist Board and Bologna Welcome to discover the beautiful region of Bologna, Italy. As usual, my objective was to discover hidden gems around the area that’s off the beaten path.

Change the Size of Facebook Video Previews
Looking for ways to change the size of the Facebook Video Preview? I recently discovered Enlargeify and use it regularly now for Facebook videos. It’s a cool new free tool that allows users to take an existing YouTube link and convert it into a Facebook friendly format (i.e. larger Facebook video preview image) without the need to upload directly to Facebook. So not only does it give you a larger video preview (which can lead to more views), but it also saves you from having to upload twice to YouTube and Facebook.
