This post was inspired by Jenny Stradling’s tweet to Starbucks and so many others that are reminding companies to remove their Google+ icons and links from their websites.
Dear @Starbucks pssstt… tell your webmaster to remove the link to Google+. It’s a 404 now. You’re welcome. https://t.co/9muDAGRGys pic.twitter.com/C6IqWs3yNa

Here we go again! Another day without being able to login to our Facebook Business Pages.
Yesterday, Facebook (and Instagram) were down for most of the day, and I have to say as a social media manager I almost panicked.
The video below is an update to this post. It was created on July 3, 2019, after many people experienced issues posting to and viewing content on Facebook.
This week, I will be partnering with SCORE Washington DC in presenting “Become A YouTube Creator (for Beginners)” — a workshop for small business owners in Arlington, Virginia — so I decided to write a quick blog post on how to upload your YouTube Channel Art.
Google owns YouTube and describes its channel art like this:
Channel art shows as a banner at the top of your YouTube page. You can use it to brand your channel’s identity and give your page a unique look and feel.
I Don’t know if you’ve noticed, but this week alone Facebook’s platform has been shut down a couple of times. Not only that, but when I attempt to visit some of the pages under Settings, they have come up blank only to be restored later. (Something’s rotten in the cotton, so stay alert!)
Contrary to popular belief, you do not own what you post on any of the social media platforms … not on Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter. Nope, it is not yours, and if any of them decides to shut down tomorrow, all of your information could disappear while you sleep! 👀
