Suffer through my pitch again....
rt
Every once in awhile we make a pitch for new writers on the website... It's that time again.
This website was created about 3 years ago. At the time we envisioned at least 10 people writing articles of interest on a regular basis with others in the community commenting on those articles and just generally having a good time. We didn't know squat about building a site and self taught ourselves about code and began evolving the site we have today. Along the way it somehow became a passion for me.
Lessons learned during the evolution of this site have not all been easy. We learned that people have diverse ideas about everything and are willing to tell you about them.. (this includes me). Mostly, though we learned how personal ideas of religion and poltics can fracture the community and create open hostility. This led to the ideas that religious prosteltizing and personal political views aren't allowed here.. As editor, I make the decisions as to what that might be . This sounds despotic and restrictive of course but we found someone has to set rules or chaos ensues. Since this is my creation I am the one that does it.
There is one religious rule that the site follows and I beleive you will find some form of that rule in most religions and it is, "The Golden Rule".
The site has evolved into me writing everything and filling in with news articles from the web that we find interesting. And an occasional forwarded joke from a reader and forwarded pictures.
The comments at the bottom of each article were put in for you the community to have your say on each and every article. Mostly, they are not used. The rules for the comments are less restrictive than articles written on the site. You can say pretty much what you want but keep the golden rule in mind when you do it. Also, you must identify yourself. Annonymus comments get deleted. If you would like to comment just click the comment link, provide your name in the box and write what you want to say. You don't have to live here or have any special qualification... all are welcome.
Now to the meat... Where's the beef?
If you would like to write on the page... get a feel for blogging and learn how to do this... You are welcome. On the other hand if you would like to write but don't have the desire to learn anything about blogging you just have to email an article to me at:
teckron@hotmail.com
Want to sign up for writing any time from anywhere and posting it on the site? This requires you to download a program from Blogger and getting signed on as a Blog team member. I help you with that and it is very EZ. You have to be a park resident to get signed on as a team member. But you don't have to be a resident to send an email for us to post.
That's the pitch and the rules. Waiting to hear from you... RT
