INPUT ARTICLE: Article: . Twitter is one of the more acceptable places to broadcast all of your blog posts, as it is designed for quick posts with links. Tweeting new posts is an easy task at face value, but you'll need to spend some time planning it out. This is especially important as your global audience grows. Avoid just writing “New blog!” and linking to your blog. The majority of users will not click on these links, because they don't speak to them at all. Cover an aspect of your post in the lead-in; if you're writing about fashion tips, write something like “Wondering what to wear to the club tonight? <link to blog>”. Keep it short and sweet, but make sure that you are directing readers to your content.  Write the lead-in as a question to the reader. “Need to lose a few pounds before swimsuit season?” Offer advice and create the feeling that the reader needs your wisdom. “10 tips for managing your money.” Write a fact from your post that will wow the reader. “30 million people can't be wrong!” As your audience grows, you will find that readers are coming to your blog from all different time zones. Your blog tweets can be easily lost when someone checks their Twitter 8 hours after you post. Use a social media management tool such as HootSuite to plan out a schedule of tweets.  Try to post when your readers will be most active. Try to post the blog in the morning, and then support it with tweets later in the day. These tweets will bring in new users who are just getting on the internet for the first time that day. When tweeting the same article out again, use a different lead-in to keep your tweets from become canned and spammy. Use Twitter for more than linking your blog. If your followers only ever see blog posts in your Twitter feed, they will grow fatigued of the links. Add insights and respond to other Twitter users throughout the day.

SUMMARY: Tweet your posts Write an attention-grabbing lead-in tweet. Schedule your tweets. Break up your blog update tweets.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Insert the hook into the first stitch you plan to work over.  The right side of the work should face up and the yarn should be behind the original piece. There should be no yarn on the hook at this time. Tie the yarn onto the hook using a slip knot. The slipknot should be positioned near the tip of the hook and at the back of the original piece. Yarn over the hook from back to front, then pull that yarn-over through the loop on your hook to complete one chain stitch. At the same time or immediately after completing the stitch, bring the hook and the yarn on your hook back through to the front of the original piece. Insert the tip of the hook into the stitch behind your first stitch, working in the opposite direction you would usually work in.  If you're right-handed, you will need to insert the hook into the next stitch to the right. If you're left-handed, you will need to insert the hook into the next stitch to the left. This step begins your first official crab stitch. Yarn over the tip of the hook from back to front, then pull the yarn-over back through to the front of the work, creating a loop in the process. There should be two loops on your hook after this step. Wrap the yarn over the hook from back to front, then pull this yarn-over through both loops on your hook. This step completes one crab stitch. Note that another name for this stitch is the "reverse single crochet." Repeat the crab stitch across the original work until you have completed your desired edging or design.  To complete each crab stitch:  Insert the hook into the reverse next stitch. Yarn over, then draw up a loop to the front of the work. Yarn over, then draw it through both loops on your hook.   Work in the same direction for the entire line of crab stitches. When completed correctly, you should be left with a ridged line. Cut the yarn, leaving a 4-inch (10-cm) tail. Pull this tail through the final loop on your hook to fasten off your surface stitching. Pull the excess tail of yarn through to the back of the work and weave it into the stitches along the back. This further secures the line of crab stitches while also hiding the tail.

SUMMARY: Insert the hook. Attach the yarn to the hook. Chain one. Insert the hook into the reverse next stitch. Draw up a loop. Yarn over and draw through. Repeat the crab stitch as needed. Fasten off.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Dehydration can aggravate the symptoms of rhinitis and postnasal drip. Avoid caffeine and alcohol, which can cause dehydration. Water is the best choice to remain hydrated while suffering from rhinitis and postnasal drip.  Look at your urine to determine if you're getting enough water during the day. If your urine is yellow, you're probably not getting enough water. If your urine is clearer, with at most a hint of yellow, you're probably drinking enough water. Drinking warm fluids, such as water, is especially helpful for relieving postnasal drip. Blowing the nose can remove irritants, which causes a buildup of mucus. For mucus that cannot be cleared after blowing the nose, some people prefer snorting and spitting the excess mucus from the back of the throat, avoiding bad breath and dry mouth. Over the counter saline kits and nasal sprays are available to rinse the nasal cavity. The saline solution flushes the irritants from the nasal cavity, thins the mucus and relieves the membranes in the nose.  Try using a Neti pot to clear out the mucus in the sinus and the back of the throat. Be aware, however, that by using a sinus irrigation device you could be removing natural antimicrobial agents that get rid of enemy bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Apply 2 to 3 saline nasal drops every 2 to 3 hours to help moisten your nasal passages and relieve congestion. Try using Nasya oil 2 times daily as a way to relieve postnasal drip. Oral decongestants narrow the blood vessels to reduce the amount of congestion in the nasal cavity. Decongestants are also available in a nasal spray. If symptoms don't get better after 3 days, discontinue use of decongestants. Use of decongestants after 3 days may be more harmful than helpful because it may lead to rebound congestion. Medications such as guaifenesin (Mucinex) are sold OTC and taken in tablet or syrup form. These help to thin out the mucus and make it easier for it to run out. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for how to take this medications, and ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure. The physician can prescribe corticosteroid, antihistamine and anti-drip sprays to relieve postnasal drip.  Corticosteroid sprays, such as Flonase and Nasacort, help to treat the swelling and inflammation in your nasal passages that occurs with allergic rhinitis. Antihistamine sprays can effectively treat allergic rhinitis causes of postnasal drip but are not effective for non-allergic causes.

SUMMARY:
Drink plenty of fluids to remain hydrated. Blow your nose frequently to remove excess mucus in the nasal cavity. Rinse the nasal cavity to remove mucus causing irritants. Use over-the-counter decongestants to relieve mucus buildup and postnasal drip. Use decongestants for only 3 days in succession. Remove mucus with mucus-thinning medications. Ask your doctor for prescription medications to relieve irritation and mucus buildup.
