Welcome to the Coalition For Good Blogging!
This is our main base of operations. I have created a forum specifically for this group. Any forum topics meant to be private among this group can be posted there, provided that the setting for visibility is set for this group only. Other members can also submit forum topics to this forum - such as requests for proofreading or edits, help with blogging, suggestions for promoting good blogs, or suggestions for deleting bad blogs, and etc.
The purpose of this group is not to focus on deleting the bad blogs - but to give good blogs a chance at promotion, and blogs with potential the recognition they deserve.
As such, your responsibilities will include flagging blogs that are in need of editing, go against Progressive U's TOS guidelines, or just plain need help. You will also offer people editorial services.
This service will allow users to email a copy of a blog they have written and would like to post for you to review, suggest any changes or make any edits, and send back. Be sure you contact the author of such a blog to ensure they are able to contact you for help should they need it.
You will also be the forefront for posting advice for other bloggers, such as regular updates on the rules, how to write or format a good blog, and other such activities.
Our goal is not to punish the bad bloggers on Progressive U - but to promote good blogging, and help some bloggers meet their full blogging potential for this site. Remember this!
Small Groups for Users
I'm not exactly sure how to make it work, but I just got an idea. I was thinking that the bigger ProU gets the more poor quality posts we see, so we need a way to bring the quality of a small site back to ProU.
Choose your Poison!
Hi All!
I need everyone who hasn't already told me to read through this post: http://www.progressiveu.org/node/36847
Proofreading Services
Spelling, grammar, and formatting is often a hot topic of debate here at Progressive U.
To try to help, we have formed the Coalition for Good Blogging, designed to help you reach your fullest blogging potential.

Membership Skills Inventory
Okay, this might not be that much fun; but I need every one to be honest, please.
We all have various skills, strengths, and weaknesses. I want to organize this in such a way where we can capitalize on all of our strengths and help build up all of our weaknesses.
So, I need you to each look at yourselves and think; what areas are you very strong at, and where are you at your weakest?
