Facebook Now Allows Facebook Marketers To Duplicate Adverts Across Numerous Accounts

Facebook’s ads manager tool now provides marketers with a “create similar ad” option, which copies the same advert across separate accounts.

So, for example, a brand can now copy an advert from its main company account onto the account of one of its individual branches.
Companies have the option of duplicating both the advert and the targeting data, just the targeting data, or using different audiences for different accounts.
The upgrade even allows users to change the type of Facebook advert, but keep the information the same: Page Ads, Page Post Ads, Page Like Stories and Page Post Like Stories are all interchangeable.

If, for any reason, an administrator has to leave an advert unfinished, the option to return and complete the advert will remain at the top of the News Feed.
The “All Campaigns” page has also been improved, so that the status of adverts is visible as text rather than as a play/pause symbol. finally, the “Daily Activity” measurements have become more detailed.
The update was first noticed by aimClear’s Merry Morud, who has taken detailed screenshots of the improved service.

Does the updated ad manager help you advertise your business?

WordPress Announces New 3.5 Version Called ‘Elvin’




WordPress has announced a new WordPress 3.5 which features a whole new and improved way to upload photos and to create galleries. The 3.5 version is called ‘Elvin’ in honour of drummer, Elvin Jones.

The new version has updates that go far beyond a fresh photo improvement. Elvin has added a new default theme for mobiles called Twenty Twelve.
Twenty Twelve has a new refreshed style for the dashboard, has updated the theme so that it has high resolution graphics, and is 'Retina-ready.’

Highlights of version 3.5 for the media manager section of the blogging site include a streamlined new interface where users can create galleries with a simpler drag-and-drop method. They will also be able to insert multiple images at once.

The Twenty Twelve default theme is a simple and more elegant design which is its first that is responsive on mobile devices and makes use of all of the latest Theme Features.
Enhancements to the admin page include a new welcome screen, better accessibility for screenreaders and other touch devices, a new colour picker and more.

The video below shows the new features in more detail.





The new release is just under 5MB in size and can be downloaded from WordPress.org/Download.
