INSTRUCTIONS FOR POSTING

http://wordupcardigan.blogspot.com/

is the address of the weblog (blog) for the WORD UP! Poetry Night.

Anything of relevance to the poetry night can be posted on the blog. In particular we’d like to get some of your poetry out there.

Please visit the blog, add it to your favourites.

If there’s anything you’d like to post there, please email it as an attachment to Jim Harwood – and include “word up” in the subject line of your email to: jimboharwood@gmail.com

If you can include a photo or graphic which is relevant to your post so much the better.

· Your text needs to be sent as a Word Document (.doc) or as a plain text file (.txt) this is preferable. You can use Microsoft Word or Notepad. DON’T BOTHER TO FORMAT IT, IT WILL ONLY MEAN MORE WORK FOR ME UNDOING ALL YOUR HARD WORK!

· If you’re sending an image, it needs to be sent as a Jpeg (.jpg). of medium resolution. No fancy framework please. If you don’t have a digital camera or scanner, I usually have my camera with me at the poetry nights.

· DON’T send stuff like Powerpoint Presentations or Publisher files, they’re incompatible with web applications and I probably won’t be able to open them anyway.

· DON’T send any images in your word documents, keep them separate!

· If you want to send a sound file, it needs to be MP3.

The more content the blog has, the more interest there will be in it, and the more active the blog is, the more people come to the poetry night, so get working! If you don’t have email, you can give me your submissions at the Poetry Nights, but I would prefer them typed.

If I’m not there you can leave them with Steve or Sue and they will pass them on to me.

Let’s make the Word Up! Poetry Night and the Wordupcardigan Weblog the stuff of Legend!
