LinkedIn recently changed something in their website infrastructure that has “broken” the LinkedIn share button from the main blog page. We have removed the LinkedIn share button from the main blog page because of this issue. You are still able to share our blog posts to LinkedIn using the following method. Click on the blog post title you wish to share; this takes you into the details for the post. You will notice a LinkedIn share button is at the bottom of the post. Click on it to share the blog post as you have done in the past from the main page. Hopefully, LinkedIn will fix this quirk in the near future, however this method works well until that day comes.

Sans Ouch! Newsletter – Got Backups?
I always try to stress the importance of having a backup plan. It’s not a matter of if, but when disaster will happen. Having a backup plan can protect what is most important to you.
