Opening Salvo Update
We are in the early stages of our first campaigns. We have not even mobilized the entire army yet on these campaigns as we await each of our blogger troop formations to run through the zones.
Things seem to be moving along pretty well. This week is going a little slow as we are all doing things that are brand new in some ways. Please keep all the questions coming, I am doing my best to get copies of each of the questions you ask in email, published in the forum. I’d like to ask that if you have questions please do not hesitate to keep sending or replying to emails. However, if you have a spare minute or two it would help the cause significantly if you ask the questions in the forum.
I will be working hard to keep the forums on track for the LinkyLoveArmy and very focused. I’d encourage you to venture over to GeekySpeaky’s forum or to Performancing’s forum if you want to talk shop about items unrelated to the LinkyLoveArmy. They both have excellent resources and a great group of bloggers. There is a great deal of good information as well at the forum at PayPerPost. I did not setup the LLA forum to compete with any of the other great forums, but I did set it up specifically for us to capture useful information so that we can work better together as a team. So if you are in doubt, feel free to post it here!
Follow on Waves Link to those that led the Charge
Over the last 24 hours we have seen several bloggers kick off the second wave of one of our campaigns. A few bloggers have linked to the LinkyLoveArmy in their campaign posts. This is not necessary and not required by the live missions. You are free to link to us if you like, but its not necessary.
That said, we do want you to point to the troops that led the charge ahead of you. Think of it like this.
Prepare yourself for bad analogy!
We are storming a castle. The first bloggers run to the castle wall with the ladders, set them against the wall and run to the top of the ladder. But with a blog they can only get halfway up the wall. The next group of bloggers come along and collectively lift up the ladder over their heads. Then the next wave repeats this and the wave after that and so on until the front bloggers get to the top. They get over the wall and run to open the gates for all of us.
So in that analogy it doesn’t help to point back to headquarters (LinkyLoveArmy), but it does help to lift up the troops above you and help them get over the wall.
More Bigger Buttons
We have increased the size of the buttons in the menu above to make it easier to find the registration options. The ‘Register’ button is for general registration and for entering your first and any additional blog url.
The B2C Register button is for registering for the consumer campaigns. You will receive missions for consumer campaigns but will not be able to get all the details you need to participate until you register in this additional system.
Working on Requests
We hope to get an alternate Email field set up shortly for new recruits and for existing (some battle hardened) soldiers. I’ll keep you posted on this and let you know how to add the alternate when its ready.
Regards,
Colonel Love
