As I\u2019ve mentioned a million times, there are not enough hours in the day.\u00a0 In the past 2 weeks, I\u2019ve started a new year of teaching and a new grad class, in the midst of watching the countdown to the Healthy Living Summit get shorter and shorter.\u00a0 Things around here are crazy right now, though I\u2019m thinking it\u2019s going to get a lot better in a week or two and really, it\u2019s all good things. As a result, I love products and sites that make my life a little bit easier and save me a little bit of time.\u00a0 If This Then That<\/a> (IFTTT) is one of those sites.<\/p>\n

IFTTT is a way to automate your online life by connecting various services you use.\u00a0 There are 69 available channels including Blogger, Buffer, Craigslist, Dropbox, Email, Evernote, Facebook, Feeds, Feedly, Drive, Instagram, The NY Times, Tumblr, Weather, WordPress and YouTube.\u00a0 You activate the channels by connecting your accounts to IFTTT, then use the channels to create recipes.\u00a0 Recipes follow the formula \u201cif _______________, then _______________\u201d.\u00a0 An example of a recipe would be, if<\/span> I use a specific tag on an item in Feedly, then<\/span> share that item on Facebook through Buffer.\u00a0 No need to go to Facebook to share, IFTTT will share for me automatically.<\/p>\n

Some great recipes for bloggers:<\/p>\n
