Lessons Learned from Day 1 of Global PR Blog Week

All,
For those of you who posted and commented today, many thanks! We have gotten off to a great start. As editors/administrators we've learned a few things today we wanted to share with you.

  1. Please keep your titles short (4 words or so). Otherwise they run off the page on the recent posts/recent comments.
  2. Please do not put your bios at the end of your post. We want to keep these posts "educational" vs. "promotional" in spirit. We've provided you the opportunity to put your bio and 4 qs as separate posts.
  3. Speaking of bios and 4 qs. Please post-date these before July 12. You can do this by saving the post as draft, then editing the box that shows the time and date.
  4. No flames. We'll delete them (asking permission from post author in borderline cases).
  5. If you use this forum for pure promotion of your own services/companies, we'll out you in the comments.
  6. Please proof your posts. We've noticed typos creeping in. We have fixed some, but better they don't happen in the first place.
  7. Remember to only put the first paragraph or two in the intro, with the rest going in the extended post area. We had to change a bunch over today.
  8. We know we said multiple posts in one day was OK, but in reality it is a little confusing. Therefore, if possible, please consolidate into one post. If not, please make sure the posts have different titles. Also, please group them together, one after the other, if you can, so people can easily follow along.
  9. At the end of each day, we'll provide a brief summary of the day's posts along with highlights from the day's stats.

Thank you so much for following these guidelines! It will make our job much easier.
The Editors
