Cleaning up Leadpages images to create landing pages faster!

When I first started using Leadpages, it took a little time to figure out how things worked and what image sizes I needed to be using in their templates. One area I wasn’t concerned with was how to delete Leadpages images.

As a result, I would upload an image using the recommended sizes and see how it looked.

If it looked good, I kept working on the landing page.

Unfortunately, if it didn’t, I would continue to add images to a Leadpages template until it looked just right.

What ended up happening was I ended up creating multiple instances of my Leadpages images. No big deal, right?

As you can see, it did turn out to be an issue because it made it difficult to know which image I needed to choose to use in my Leadpages template.

The problem

If you are like most users, you would expect to be able to delete Leadpages images when you are editing your Leadpages template. That isn’t the case here.

Today I’m going to show you how to delete Leadpages images so that you don’t make the same mistakes I did and end up with lots of images at different resolutions.

This way when you are building your landing pages using Leadpages, you can quickly build them because you won’t have to spend time trying out images to get the right one.

There are hundreds of ways to add social media buttons to your blog or website.

Since I just went through a blog redesign, I wanted to share with you my process for choosing the best social media buttons to add to your blog or website.

By adding social media buttons to your website, this makes it easier for readers to share your content across Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and so on.

When you make it easy for readers to share your content on their social media channels, this can help out your site a lot.

As a result, this can lead to higher engagement, more interactions, and more pageviews on your website.

A word about plugins

A lot of people who build their own blog think that adding plugins to quickly solve a problem is the right thing to do.

While you can quickly build your blog, you need to be sure you really need to use a plugin instead of having someone code the feature into your site.

When you add a lot of plugins to your site, not only can this significantly slow down the load times, but you can affect your SEO ranking as well.

When you add social media buttons to your site, be sure you don’t overwhelm your readers.

Before adding any social media buttons, be sure you look at your social interactions in Google Analytics. This way you can determine which social networks you should include.

Let’s take a look at five types of social media buttons you can add to your blog or website to help make it easier for readers to share your content.

The complete guide to using Facebook Paper

Facebook recently launched a new product called the Facebook Paper app.

Facebook Paper joins a long list of existing apps that let you perform individual Facebook functions on your mobile device.

One thing is certain, Paper is a radical departure from what you are used to using to view your Facebook news feed updates.

What is Facebook Paper?

Paper is a mobile app that let’s you explore news and stories from your Facebook news feed.

What is neat though is that Paper is a cross between the traditional Facebook app and Flipboard, a social news tool.

One thing I really like about the app is the clean look and feel.

It is also very refreshing not to have Facebook Ads to distract you.

How does Facebook Paper work?

I’ve had a few days to use the Facebook Paper app. Basically, it let’s you setup different sections such as Facebook, Headlines, Tech, Sports, Enterprise, Home, and more.

With Paper, you can view stories from your news feed or jump to a section to see updates from pages in that category.

While that doesn’t sound much different from using Add Interest lists to sort your news feed, it is because you are viewing updates from your own news feed, but also from pages you may not be connected with on Facebook.

Enough about the look and feel of Facebook Paper, it is awesome! Take an exclusive look into how to use Facebook Paper with this video walk-through.
