Recent Links of Interest from IHEC Blog's Facebook Page
For my post today I'm simply going through IHEC Blog's Facebook page and copying and pasting various links that I think IHEC Blog readers may find of interest from the past week. About one or two years ago I provided a weekly round-up of links of interest I pulled from my Twitter posts and this lasted for several months as was popular among readers so I thought I would try it out with Facebook posts. Perhaps this will become a weekly (Friday) habit...
