be careful about making others admin, you cannot undo an admin grant

Good point Lolly - I just want people to be able to post something of their own when the want to. Any good suggestions? All members have the ability to create blogs.

I am still learning the ins and outs of group management. What would you want the other admin to do that editors cannot do?

The one thing I think members need to be able to do is post their work as blog posts. They can mark them for group only or publicly viewable. So everyone needs to be an editor.

That is what I am looking at?

Thank you for starting this group, I love to read and write, and would love to share some of my stuff with you guys and get your honest feedback. Thanks again!

So, how do you post something? I have poems I would like to get some feed back, they are already the form that I want them to be viewed.(PDF) They are in picture form. How do I upload them to the site?

You can set your blog to post to everyone where it will display on the right of the web browser in the Recent blogs or you can post it so only member here can see it, in which case you have to look at the recent blog post on the profile screens.

Just a tip as I am still learning also.

slim1h20- I am not sure how to upload a pdf document. I hate to say it, but you may have to convert them to a more text or html base document. Can you export them into another format without losing too much in your presentation?

ryoung; I can email it. Is that what you mean?

This is an awesome idea. Thanks for inviting me! I may get gutsy and post a portion of a book I've written but never published. -Angela

slim1h20 - I was hoping the software you used for creating the PDF's might have a export for a different format. You might also be able to create images out of the PDF's and create a image gallery that could be read.

Pleas do so Angela!!! Your feedback would be invaluable also.

They can mark them for group only or publicly viewable. So everyone needs to be an editor.

I think that is done at the blog level - so editor privileges should be fine for everyone. I'll try a test blog...

I had the option of public or group only on my blog from this group profile - I think that is what you want. Editor is fine..

It's all true. Right down to the last cent.

If I ever found anything while doing mjy thing with the metal detector that I could trace to the owner then I returned it. More stories of the metal detector later.

I am about to leave and go spend time with my special lady. I will not be on for a while like about 30 hours.

Everyone who is a member has the ability to post a blog. If you just joined I will give you that ability also as soon as I log on.

Thanks for a great first day here on Creative Writers.

Hi, glad to have found you all! And I look forward to reading you.

Good morning... I had a chance to get away this weekend and took it. Just got back into the things....

I have an opening for a larger work that I am trying to put together, but I would like to get feedback from people to see if they think it is a good story so far.

I just wanted to see if anyone would look at a post that was say around 13 pages?

Looking forward to reading more...

Welcome to the new members. Just to let you know I see you have joined I set you up as an editor. This allows you to post your work in the blogs.

Have any of you written anything that has gotten really dark as you were writing it? I have a partial of a work that I have done. I stopped writing on it, because I could see where it was going and I did not know if I wanted to go there.

I was thinking about posting it just for the group, but I don't want people to think I am actually crazy or anything.

We won't think you're crazy, Robert. Often, when a story has been brewing in your head and you write it, it dictates its own direction. I would enjoy reading anything you post. Let's see it!

Robert - I have a new Saturday morning tradtion - reading the blogs in this group. This group is awesome.

ryoung, yes, my stories have taken on many directions. Some very dark, some very erotic, I dont know the limits to posting here so Im using my really safe stuff,lolgreat writing btw robert

Wow - Everyone has been busy.. Great job!!! I am getting through the new ones now, was a little under the weather. Well a lot under the weather. I have no voice, but that won't keep me from typing :)

I am really proud of the great work people are putting out here!!

I wrote a poem for a friend today, but I forgot to blog it in the group, sorry. If anyone would like to read it you will find it here:

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/3178607/

okay, you all asked for more so its up,lol

How do I add a blog here???

smfrye3 - You should be able to post a blog since I made you and editor when you joined. Just go to the top of creative writers profile and select blog.

I'm not a writer, but a dear friend of mine is and she has published one book and is on her way to publishing her second. Her current book is called Souvenir -- I loved and and it has gotten awesome reviews. -- she has a great blog full of other creative writers -- you guys might enjoy reading or participating in as well. theresefowler.blogspot.com

Well, I can't officially claim to be a writer, although I have written a present day Christmas Play, back in 2005, and a drama group I started (Revelation Drama Ministry)has performed it 3 years running. It's about an hour long. I would like this year to take it to a local church (within 30 miles of Raleigh or less), cast the roles with your church members, and direct it. It would play best to prodestant churches (Baptist, Methodist, etc.)with congregations between 75-200. Minimal stage needed, I furnish props. Present day setting, so costumes not needed. If you know anyone who's church may be beginning a drama ministry and wants this made available, let me know. There is no cost for this ministry. Contact Lane at 625-1527.

i didnt know this group was here. lol. glad to see it. i have wanted to write a book for several years now and i dont know what to write about....seems to always come back to my mom though. she had an interesting life. who knows.....

Thanks everyone for reading the long story about my first fair trip which could probably use some editing. For me it is fun to look back and laugh at myself. I have a vivid memory for details and my family calls me the family historian because of that.

I wanted to get it out before the fair comes and goes and I may post it again fair week. I love to go the fair, but will not ride anything beyond the Ferris wheel. I always stop by the Enterprise and reminisce about that wild ride from the past.

Thanks again!

Great to find another writing group. I keep an eye on the Raleigh Write2 Publish meetup, and am a member of the Triangle Area Freelancers group. Looking forward to seeing what your interests and styles are over time. Probably like most of you, you can get a good idea about some of my writing from my GOLO blog posts.

May I be approved to post blogs on this group? Thanks a bunch!

I'm looking for Cousin Lukey.
