Greetings and Salutations!

Thank you everyone who has sent me your priority lists - I am compiling them into a master list to help guide us all through 2011!

I was reminded recently about how other content sites focus solely on the owners making money at the expense of their editors and visitors. I am SO thrilled that we are nothing like that. Our ads go to charity - you can see that on the site - and our focus is on our editors and visitors! To me this is the way things SHOULD be.

If you haven't sent your priority list in, start with this forum thread:

http://f.bellaonline.com/top/427829/

We'll help you create the best priority list possible, so you have the best chance of success you can!


PRIORITY CHAT

Mark your calendars! On Wednesday, January 12th at 2pm we'll have an editor-wide chat on priorities and goal setting. Work on your list beforehand, and bring it along to the chat for us all to give you a hand with! We'll help you get your priority list polished and perfect, and brainstorm ideas with you to hep you succeed!


SHORT FORUM URL

You might have noticed above that I gave a forum URL in a new, short version. This will help us in Twitter and other places! Instead of typing out "forums" at the start of the URL, you can now just use "f". It will know that is the forum server. Also, there is a special, abbreviated format to get to any topic thread. So normally the URL might look like this:

http://forums.bellaonline.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/427829/What_Are_Your_Priorities

To make the short version, start with:

http://f.bellaonline.com/top/

Then add on the ID number which normally comes after the word "topics". So in this case that ID is 427829. Voila! You get

http://f.bellaonline.com/top/427829/

Let me know if you have any questions about the new shortcut!
