The Word Cloud

There’s more than one way to do this, but this is a universal fudge that’s quite easy.

1. When you find a piece you want to post a link to, keep your browser open on that page.

2. Open another browser window and come to this Group.

3. Copy the full http:/ location of your favourite piece into the Your Comment box of The Wall towards the bottom of the main Group page. (If, for example, it’s a competition entry, state which number post it is on that page).

4. Add who wrote it and the title. Add a couple of words describing what it is; for example: Adult Fiction Novel (Thriller) extract; Children’s’ Story (8-11 years) extract; Non-fiction book (Writing Guide) extract; Poem (humorous); Competition entry (flash fiction); Writing techniques advice; or whatever gives enough information to describe the work in a line or less.

5. (Optional) Add a few short words about why it’s your favourite.

Then just hit the Post button. Even if the link isn’t clickable, it can still be copied and pasted directly into a browser address bar. You can post to The Wall without checking if someone has already added the same piece, or you can acknowledge you agree with someone else’s choice.

The Wall is the only part of the Group where I receive notifications that something has been added. When I get the notification, I'll amble along and add your link & details to the Group Forum Topic: The list of the best writing on the Cloud.
