If your account is suspended, there is nothing I can do to help you. Read this article, follow the instructions. Then read what everyone else has posted. It might takes WEEKS before you hear from Twitter. I do not provide customer service for Twitter. If your account is suspended, there is nothing I can do to help you.

You can use the buttons (as you mentioned) to share your new post from your post. Make sure that you really customize the message if you go this route. If you go to each site and post the link manually, write a message that is appropriate for each site. For example, make sure that your Twitter message is not only short, but also entices people to want to click through. On Facebook, choose the post image that best tells the story at a glance, etc. I would also recommend not posting it to all of the sites at the same time. Spread out your postings over time for greater coverage. How you share your blogs posts is really a person decision you make about how you want to support and distribute your content.

But what do you recommend when it comes to sharing a blog post on social media? Should you go into each platform and share the link there, or should you share it directly from the blog post by using the "Tweet", "Google +1" etc buttons ? Great article! But what do you recommend when it comes to sharing a blog post on social media?

Should you go into each platform and share the link there, or should you share it directly from the blog post by using the “Tweet”, “Google +1″ etc buttons ?

Facebook recently made major changes to how events work, and I have not created enough events to have them figured out now. The help center is frequently out of date, so no surprise that it isn't helpful. I know people love Facebook events, but if you really want a full event management system, try another online tool like Eventbrite. Dan, I’m sorry I can’t help you.

Review their rules and see if you have broken any of them. If you have, write back to them and explain that you didn't know before and now you will not do it again. If you didn't break any rules, tell them that. Either way, be very nice and patient. It may take several weeks before you hear from them again. Sonia, you must do what they said.

I followed all ur steps, and twitter replied me : We understand that you're contesting an account suspension. Please be sure to read this entire email; you will need to take further action in order to reopen your ticket and trigger a review of your account. Twitter suspends accounts for a variety of reasons: • If your account was suspended for aggressive following behavior, you should have received an email notification to the address associated with your Twitter account. You'll need to confirm that you've removed all prohibited following automation from your account, and will stop any manual aggressive following behavior. To expedite your appeal process, please review our Best Practices page if you haven't already, and then reply to this ticket with a confirmation that you understand our policies and will not engage in any prohibited following behavior. • Please take a minute to review the Twitter Rules. • If you received an email from admin@twitter.com saying 'you're being suspended' or that we're going delete your account, you're safe; the email is fake. More information here https://support.twitter.com/articles/204820-safety-fake-twitter-emails • While we strive to avoid mistakes, it's also possible that your account was suspended in error. If after reviewing the Rules, you have no idea why your account was suspended, just reply to this email indicating as much, and we'll take another look at your case. Our apologies if the error turns out to be ours. Thanks, Twitter Trust & Safety so, what I must to answer it? help me please :( hi Charlene, help me please…

Is that still possible as I don't see an icon to send out reminders to guests.

I simply haven't spent enough time with the updated events features to be able to help you. You are right, there used to be a way to do exactly what you want. I wish I could help you more. Good luck with it, and do come back and share if you figure it out. There are lots of people trying to figure out Facebook events right now.
