One of the features we hope will increase the participation in WBW is the ability to register and post your notes to this blog. Near the bottom of the right sidebar is a “Register” link that will enable you to sign up. By default you will be given the ability to create draft blog posts and participate in our forums with the same username and login. Your blog posts will be reviewed and possibly edited for language before being posted to the blog feed. All blog SPAM or inappropriate content will be deleted.
Our hope is more consumers will post their notes and we totally remove the barrier of having a blog in order to participate.
Great idea - as someone who has started, and deleted because of (personal) lack of interest at least 5+ blogs over the past 10 years, I applaud it
Are we supposed to post our reviews here? Or the links? Or is Lenn still rounding everything up?
Sonadora,
Just post to your blog as normal and send the link to Lenn. We’ve created the blog here for those without blogs to participate… maybe I should make this clear with a post?
Yes, please make clear with a post. I saw a post ‘What do I do’ but it’s still not clear to me. I expected with this new blog to see WBW posts as they came in, but I’m beginning to suspect it is not realtime and sometime later a summary will be done. And how does one ’send the link to Lenn’. Is there a secret email??? Or is there a thread on his site somewhere??? Clicking on #36 Let Get Naked on the right hand side menu takes me to a WBW#36 announcement on Lenn thompson’s site, not notifications of new entries. I seem to be going around in circles.
Sorry for the confusion, Sue. I’ve updated the “What do I do” post above with the information you are looking for.
Thanks!
Thank you Tim! And now I see a live feed on the side of this comments page - but not on the main page.
Although I’ve been writing on the web for years, I’m new to this, so forgive my ignorance.
Sue: I was getting the live feed setup so I had to delete and configure a second time. Just empty your browser cache and reload if you don’t see it on the main page now.
Thanks!
