Well, hello readers!  We’re starting something new here today at lorelaicc.com. From here on out, Saturday’s will be Saturday’s Week in Review @ lorelaicc.com The guidelines below were borrowed from Rocks In my Dryer and edited to fit Saturday’s Week in Review.

1. So what exactly IS Saturday’s Week in Review, anyway?

Saturday’s Week in Review is a “blog carnival” (that concept is explained here). Basically, the idea is that on Saturday you post a blog entry to share about what’s happened in your life during the past week. You post a link back here to my Saturday’s Week in Review post, and enter your link in the “Mr. Linky” form at the bottom of my post.

2. You do not have to ask me first before you participate in Saturday’s Week in Review. Just jump right in.

3. You are not required to use the Saturday’s Week in Review banner, though you are more than welcome to do so.

If you do, please be sure you’re using the the current one, at the top of this post. If you don’t know how to add an image to your post, you can follow the instructions here.

4. Please only leave a link if you have written a Saturday’s Week in Review post. Please mention Saturday’s Week in Review in your post, and link back to my master list here. I’ll just delete “empty” links.

5. Link to your Saturday’s Week in Review post, not to the front page of your blog.

This makes browsing so much easier for everyone, especially when people browse around in the archives. For an explanation on how to do this, go here.

6. Please DO NOT host your own Saturday’s Week in Review “Mr. Linky” at your site.

I’d like to keep lorelaicc.com as the only homepage for Saturday’s Week in Review, for simplicity’s sake.

7. Please be patient with your e-mail questions.

In particular, if you have a question that could be answered by using the “Help” section in your blogging software (“How do I upload images?” or “How do I link back to you from my page?”), please check there for answers first.

8. When you enter your link on Mr. Linky, you will most likely notice that it says “delete link” next to your name. If you click on that, it will let you delete what you just posted. No one else can see it, just like you can’t see the “delete link” next to my name on my computer.

9. Please enter only your name and/or your blog name in the “Your Name” box. BE BRIEF.

For example, where the box below says “Your Name”, you might put:

C.C. aka LorelaiCC

-OR-

LorelaiCC

Make sense? This will make it a jillion times easier to browse through the tips. PLEASE KEEP YOUR NAME TO A MAXIMUM OF 4 WORDS. Mr. Linky freaks out sometimes when the “Your Name” portion gets too long, and it can mess up the alignment of the whole deal, making it harder to read.

10. I’ll put my Saturday’s Week in Review post up no later than 12:01 am (central time) each Saturday. Frequently, I’ll have it up an hour or two earlier.

I know this is a lot of information! Please know that I’m just trying to find a way to make it easier for people to browse through all your wonderful ideas. Thank you SO much for participating in this–YOU are the reason it is such a success!

11. I reserve the right to delete any links that are inappropriate.
