Link, link, link to your social media accounts

If you attended my webinar series this fall (or the first round, in the summer), you'll remember that the easiest and most important way to get new fans and followers is to link to your Facebook and Twitter accounts from your Web site! If you don't tell your patrons you're there, how will they ever find you?

Well, here's one organization that's getting it right (with maybe the best/most straightforward Twitter link I've ever seen): Monticello's Online Communities

I'm curious as to how people navigate to this page from the front page of the site. I couldn't find a way to get to this link from the about us page, where it appears to be coming from. Great Twitter link, though, I agree.

Well, to be fair, I came across this as a direct link to "online communities" page -- you're right that it's not so obvious on the home page! There's a little square button towards the bottom with YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr logos in it -- that's the link. (I agree that it should be more prominent!)
