Round up of links and code for ease of posting.
For passwords see existing news mods.
GATHERING NEWS LINKS:
Blogs:
1)Go To http://www.bloglines.com/login and login with the newscheck logon
2)This will take you to a page with all the latest posts from the blogs we check.
3)Click on the Blogname in the left hand pane to display the titles of the new (unread) posts in the righthand pane (only read on your news day, or you'll mark them as read for everyone :))
4)To expand a post click the plus sign, to go to the post (to get the url to link to usually) click on the title
Websites:
We have a netvous account (it's like Delicious) here: http://www.netvouz.com/spnfencentral. The sites we look at for new information are tagged "places to check for news" (http://www.netvouz.com/spnfencentral/tag/placestocheckfornews ) and if I find any interesting posts/sites/whatever during the day I tend to stick them up there too with a tag of "news" and the date. If there are any specific comments on that link (like possible spoilers, warnings to be included, bits to copy and paste, whatever) they'll be just underneath the link, otherwise it's an extract from the page.
LJ:
Check the comments on the previous day's news post. We do occasionally get comments related to new news, or comm promotions
Also anything you come across in your travels is good. We generally ask if it's okay if we can link to a post, We've never had someone say no yet, but it's only polite :). We are not allowed to link from Dean_Sam
We are allowed to link (always, without asking) to any unflocked posts from:
CologneChick
MissyJack
Moonilicious and
stir_of_echoes
Any Comm that is not Dean_sam (if you ARE pointed at a Dean_sam post, try and track the links back to source of you can)
NEWS POSTING:
1)Titled "News - Day, date, month"
2)Tagged news
3)The opening sentence can be anything you like - wishes for a good week(end), what you had for tean...anything! If there are major spoiler warnings include them here and if there's any major news (like Kim's passing, Season 4 being commissioned, etc) as well.
4)The cut text is: <lj-cut text="Your Daily SpoilerFree News, Under the Cut">
5)Links to the news
- put a brief description and the link: There's news on a website, <a href="the url">read it here </a> (if it opens to an autoplay vid - like youtube does - warn for that, warn if it spoils for a movie, warn if it's not suitable for work)
- OR if you're using an extract from a page (for a friends only forum, or a page with a spoiler on that I've stuck in netvouz with a quote!) then blockquote the text
The locked forum has some information on it
<blockquote>
the copied text
</blockquote>
6)Close the cut </lj-cut> and then the copy and past the footer from below.
