DO YOU WANT TO BE A CONTRIBUTING BLOG AUTHOR WITH SPINNING BLUE PLANET?

I have Spinning Blue Planet designed to evolve into a huge community of contributors along the theme of the site and philosophy. Would you like to be a contributing blog author???? You’ll get your own user account and will be tagged as author of your posts. Help us spread the LIGHT!

Let me know.

You’ll get a username and password to log in and what you’ll see there is like navigating through facebook and writing notes… you create “posts” (which are like facebook notes) and post them to the blog.  You can edit them, etc.  You’ll have your name credited to the post.  You’ll receive a user guide, etc… but it’s pretty straight forward once you get inside.  I have set it up such that when you publish (you can save as drafts first) it gets sent out around the world to blog publishing websites… that’s blog syndication, BABY!  Your bio will also be included on the site.

May your Groove be Endless!

If you have registered with Spinning Blue Planet’s Blog using the entry form over on the right, Wordpress, the technology this Blog is built upon, will instantly email you your account user name and password.  The email address used is:

wordpress@spinning-blue-planet.com

In order for you to receive this emailed information, please provide a valid email address, and also “whitelist” this Wordpress email address in your email client.  If you don’t, oftentimes this email ends up in your SPAM filter.

======================

Here’s the complete details:

Increasingly, ISPs are using filtering systems to try and keep Spam out of customers’ inboxes. But all too often, they also filter the e-mail that you want to receive. To make sure that The Spinning Blue eMails are not filtered into your “junk” or “bulk” folder, please add spinning-blue-planet.com to your list of trusted senders.

Here’s how:

Hotmail: Place the domain spinning-blue-planet.com in your safe list. The safe list can be accessed via the “Options” link next to the main menu tabs.

AOL: Place the domain spinning-blue-planet.com in your address book.

Yahoo! Mail: If one of our e-zines is filtered to your ‘bulk’ folder, open the message and click on the “this is not Spam” link next to the “From” field.

Other providers: If the Spinning Blue eZine is being filtered, try adding our domain from our newsletter’s ‘From’ or ‘Reply-to’ address to your address book or contact list. If this option is not available, try moving the message to your ‘inbox’ or forwarding the message to yourself.

If subsequent messages continue to be filtered, call or e-mail your ISP’s tech support and specifically ask how you can be sure to receive all e-mail from spinning-blue-planet.com. Follow their instructions for whitelisting Spinning Blue Planet.

======================

Once you are registered, keep this information in a safe place, and feel free to log in and comment on our Blog entires.

Please note that these precautions are in place to prevent SPAMMERS and the like from breaking our spirits!

ALSO… any comments made have to be approved by me before they appear on the site… so don’t worry if you don’t see your post right away.

All the best in everything, and may your GROOVE be enddless!
