How To Post on This Blog

Welocme to the Lakeridge Ward blog! Well, ok, this isn't the real thing, I'm just testing this out to see if it will work for what I want it to do.

Here are the guidelines:

Labels

Every time you create a new Post, there's a little box in the bottom right that's named "Labels for this post". You need to specify the correct Label in order to make it easier to find with the links on the page. You may have to post multiple entries to help make it easier for everyone. For example, let's say you had a fun FHE service project and you want to share it and your experience with everyone. It is recommended that you create a post for the actual idea and label it appropriately (you can create a new label if necessary) and then create a post using the "Member Experiences" Label for your experience with that activity. This makes it easier to find the activity and your experience. If all else fails, at least there's a search feature that will probably allow others to find what you've posted

Comments

Comments are a great way to let people know if ideas are good or bad. One thing that I'm not so sure about with this blog idea is liking Comments and Experiences. You are limited in what you can do with the Comments and there's no easy way (that I've found yet) to link Experiences to the actual posts they may refer to...hmmmmm...I'll have to think about this more.

Experiences

Use the "Member Experiences" Label for all member experiences posts. It's best to split up ideas and experiences.

Service Ideas

There have been Labels pre-created to help you to categorize your activities and suggestions, but we know that we've probably missed some. Therefore, if you can't find a Label that really suites your idea, feel free to add it. Please make sure that it's not already being used by clicking on the little "Show all" link next to the Labels for this post box on the edit screen for new posts.

That's about all for now...enjoy!
