Hello and thank you for joining the Poet's Place website at: http://WordSaladPoetryMagazine.com/PoetsPlace/ I set this up as a community site for poets, publishers of poetry and others that appreciate the written word and poetry. I wanted your opinions as to what kinds of features we could have on this site. We have a list of publications and that certainly can be expanded. We can accept news items, announcements, information and more. Just login at the site. I guess I need to add a menu link to allow you to submit articles. I would like to ask for volunteers of people who would help approve articles and other submissions, and to decide how and where to publish things. It's not that hard. We need a site editor/publisher, whichever title you prefer, because people come to sites on the web all the time and submit or post things that are not appropriate at all. If you are getting this, then you are a trusted member of this site. I did have spammers and others joining the site with fake emails and placing advertisements - very inappropriate ads. At the time of sending this message, I've removed those members. Note, it is hoped that all members of this site will find a great deal of value from this community. You don't have to take on an administrative role to submit and publish content on here. I don't want to come across as trying to talk any of you into taking on an administrative role here. As a shared community site, we just want to be sure that what appears on this site is of value and is appropriate(meaning it isn't spam) and also we need to find the best way to organize and present the content that is submitted. So, if you'd be willing to do so, I'd invite you to let me know if you'd be willing to help with this, and assume an administrative role. It won't take a great deal of time, just checking into the site from time to time. Meanwhile, all of you are welcome to use the site and if you'd like submit articles or information. When I say that you can submit "articles," well that is just a term that is used in this software application - the application that was used to create this site. An "article" can be almost anything, from poems, to news, announcements and more. It is any text that you would post on the site. We can have other features here and we can include graphics as well. I'll discuss that further in a subsequent email, so as to not make this too long. Or just ask me about that. Thanks so much for joining, Bruce - site admin
