Blogging Guidelines

Posting Best Practices:

• Have an interesting title. Example: "Feel Free to Share"
  
• Begin your post with an attention grabbing hook.
  
• Tell a story, have an opinion and defend it. Example: "Communication Revolution"
  
• Enrich your posts with relevant images and links. Example "Testing the Limits of Co-creation"
  
• Follow good etiquette by responding to comments.

Composing Posts:

• We recommended that you type your posts directly into blogger.
  
• If you copy from Word your post will not submit correctly. Please copy into Notepad or your other favorite text editor and then paste that text into the blog.

Titles:

• Always capitalize the first and the last word.
• Capitalize all nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, and subordinate conjunctions ("as", "because", "although").
  
• Lowercase all articles, coordinate conjunctions ("and", "or", "nor"), and prepositions regardless of length, when they are other than the first or last word. (Note: NIVA prefers to capitalize prepositions of five characters or more ("after", "among", "between").)
  
• Lowercase the "to" in an infinitive.

Paragraphs:

• If your post is long, please use paragraphs to organize your thoughts.
  
• Please insert a blank line between paragraphs.

Hyperlinks:

• Hyperlinks can be used to enrich your post
• Examples include links to source documents, other blogs, websites, etc
  
• To insert a link, please use the link creator button in the text editor instead of pasting URLs into your post.
  

Word Limit:

• Posts should be no longer than 30 lines (500 words).
• If your posts are longer than 30 lines, create a summary that links to the full post as shown below:

1. Click on the "edit html" tab
