a community that blogs together

that’s it. that’s the whole sentance. nothing good rhymes with “blogs” anyway (except maybe scrogs, but i don’t think that’s appropriate in this case).

WE WANT YOU TO REGISTER AND POST.

I’m serious. If you are friend or family or want to be friend or family (P/FFOMB (pronounced Pea-Foam (think PFLAG))), then you should be posting on our blog. along with that, you get your own customizable personal home page showing only your blogs, or only the categories you want it to show, or no blogs at all but links to something completely different - it’s up to you. but first you have to register. and then you have to blog. and then sometime (maybe next thursday) we’ll help you set up your own page.

please?

    we have our first P/FFOMB contributor registered. the registration default was set to “subscriber” with nearly no privledges, so i changed it to “contributor” (can edit but not publish new posts) thinking that allows us to manage the first post someone makes and then increase their privledges if we decide to (which i also did in this case).

    I don’t think “Contributors” can edit. If this site is correct, contributors can draft posts but require approval to publish them. Authors can publish posts without moderation (and I think edit their own posts), and only Editors and Admins can edit others’ posts.

    Seems to me Contributor makes sense as the default, with folks we already know getting quickly upgraded to Author (in that spirit, I just upgraded tim and Dad). I don’t have a problem with Michelle or anyone else being an Editor, but I don’t know that it’s necessary to make every P/FFOMB an Editor.

    yes. what i read called it ‘edit not post’ i think, but same thing. same thought process - same conclusion.

    for setting Michelle’s privledges i figured the more people with spelling obsessions and access to edit my posts the better… the title seemed to make sense to me…
