Nhv.Org is for everybody, and it's not a way to personally connect with one individual but a way to connect with 1000's of people every month that visit the site to discover new things about New Haven.
The rules for posting are relatively simple.
- Has to be about New Haven.
Obviously the most important thing.
(Exceptions:
Outside towns with events that draw in large crowds
example: The Durham Fair)
This is obviously the most important. It must be about New Haven, Connecticut. By rule, it should be about anything within walking distance on foot for a fit person from the center of the New Haven Green. - Announcements Can't be for events more than 1 Week Away.
If today is Tuesday, post only as far as Saturday
But here's a challenge:
if the event is for a volunteer meeting or paid opportunity
you must get down with the woozle-wuzzle.Just kidding. Absolutely not. Just making sure you're paying attention.
If you're announcing something such as perhaps a big concert, or a major show of some sort, don't do so with the intent of only announcing that one big thing. Announce the minor events and things leading up to it. Fund raisers. Small announcements that inform people more about your project gradually
Bonus points for scheduling events in advance (using "schedule")
Bonus points for "excellent timing" (posting intentionally during downtimes)
Bonus points for announcing event exclusively on Nhv.Org - Must be formatted correctly.Spelled correctly, links working correctly.
Bonus points for left-justified images and / or embedded videos.
Bonus points for slideshows of original photos.
Bonus points for any work of complete originality. - Can be about businesses.Businesses can post too, but they must follow the same rules.
Bonus points for posting calendar events for promotionals
Bonus points for hosting Nhv-only available promotionals.
Bonus points for caring about the community and reporting on it.
