Procedure and Protocol for Posting Comments Regarding the Fire District
PUBLISHING A COMMENT
Those wishing to post information or comments regarding the Sonoita-Elgin Fire District will note beneath each post from me (This POST being the first) a small colored link labeled "COMMENTS".
(1) If you wish to post background information, new information or comments, click "COMMENTS". On the left side of the page, you will see already posted comments, if any. On the right side, you will see a box labeled "Leave your comment". Below the Box are three selectable buttons: Blogger, Other and Anonymous.
(2) Choose "Other" by marking the circle next to "Other" and fill in your name in the space below. DO NOT select the 'Blogger' option, and DO NOT attempt to set up a 'Blogger' login and password. Only the forum moderator (Stephen Strom, or a designee serving on the SCCF Board) and webmaster (Karen) have 'blogging' privileges (i.e. the formal privilege to post notices, like this one, to the community). Comments are welcome by all “Others”. I realize that this nomenclature can be a bit confusing, but in this case, consider "Other" a privileged title!
(3) You may either (a) type in your comment in the rectangular box directly above the phrase "Comment Moderation has been Enabled;" or (b) paste in text from another source (an email; a word document -- just so long as the entry is in text form. You cannot post a formatted MS WORD document, a pdf document, a powerpoint document.....JUST TEXT).
(4) Click "Preview".
(5) Another page will load, this one with a yellow-highlighted box on the left side. Edit your comment if you want. While you need not sign your name, in my view a helpful dialog does not benefit from anonymity among the participants.
(6) To forward your comment for posting, click "publish this comment".
(7) Your comment will be forwarded to me, and posted to the page FOLLOWING REVIEW. If I have a question or concern regarding suitability of ‘tone’ or content, I will contact you privately by email or call you. To be published, criticisms and comments should be constructive -- this is our public face to the world, and to our neighbors.
