Daily Posts

BMcLeodTeam · March 2012

Ok, I know we had discussed this in passing before, but I am bringing it up again. A lot of other boards have 'daily posts' whether it is just a 'Question of the Day (QOTD)' or some specific thing (Such as Tasty Tuesday where you share recipies). Would there be an interest in doing that on here? Would you ladies prefer just a general QOTD, or something specific and laid out? Suggestions of different types of posts for the laid out ones if that's what you like?

Boards I am on have:

Confession ___(day)___ - Confess anything that might be bothering you this week from family, friends, work, etc lol No holds barred, just get it off your chest

WTF ___(day)___ - Similar to Confession, just another way that its worded about getting things off your chest that are bothering you

Tasty ___(day)___ - Share your favourite recipies, each week there is a different 'theme'

Favourite ___(day)___ - Share your favourite NWR and WR things that occured this week.

SB has a few I can think of, but aren't necessarily the kind that will fly well here

SB also does,

What are you reading? --> Self explanatory

I get it/ I don't get it --> Things you are sick of hearing, things you don't get that people do, etc.

They used to do "Lunch and a Question' --> Tell us what you are having for lunch (could be bfast or dinner) and then a question to go along with it

How about a "vent" day where you can openly and freely vent about whatever is bothering you?

mamameech · March 2012

I like that we just post whatever we want, whenever we want. I don't mind some additional fun threads but I don't want to be limited to only posting certain things on specific days. Like a vent day; if I'm fuming on Monday, how do I wait until Thursday to unleash the fury? LOL

lbarr088 · March 2012

I don't think it's really limiting. In the other boards people "unleash" whenever they feel like it. Other days, someone initiates a thread and people unleash whatever big/little things. I like it because you are still able to be spontaneous and talk about whatever and at the same time start a thread where everyone participates.

If it's not, then why not do it? That would the only reason I'd be against it. It's just more reasons to post ;)

I wish I could remember what my home board used to do. It was really active the last two years and this year since September, has done down hill. Not many people post. I was so happy when this became active, after having my date set over two years in advance. lol.

BMcLeodTeam · March 2012

Ok, everyone list any ideas you have of threads to run. On my lunch today I will do a vote to choose what ones we want to limit it to (we don't need a TON, just one a day). My next question, does anyone want to volunteer one. That's something else I love about the Destination Weddings board, each one is run by someone so it promotes the newer girls meeting all the regulars, not just the mods. If you do, what days are best, like if you know you always make it on before work on Wednesdays for example, then maybe whatever we pick for the Wed topic is good for you

<div>Exactly :)</div>

romamor4 · March 2012

I LOVE this idea and would be willing to host a day.

BMcLeodTeam · March 2012

romamor - First to volunteer you get to be the first to say what works best for you

Any day in particular work best for you? Any days not work?

romamor4 · March 2012

Haha! Thanks, Britt! Tuesdays work best for me.

mamameech · March 2012

If you need someone else, I don't mind - I'm up early every day so I could easily get it posted by 5am LOL

BMcLeodTeam · March 2012

We still need 4 someone else's lol What day do you prefer mamameech? Tues is already spoken for.

mamameech · March 2012

I'll take Monday - my brain works best on Monday lol

BMcLeodTeam · March 2012

Alright Monday is yours

Anyone else? Wed, Thurs, Fri still open

Also any other suggestions on 'topics' before I post the survey on lunch?

celticmyss · March 2012

I'd love to see a weekly recipe swap post. I would be willing to host if, any day but a weekend since we go away occasionally to places without internet.

I would definitely like to keep the weekly accomplishment/plans post on Mondays. I find them very helpful.

Slightly off topic but - would it also be possible to sticky the monthly plan posts just for that month? Right now I keep it as a thread I am watching. I often go back to see what it was I had planned to get done this month.

junebug19 · March 2012

This sounds fun. I have seen it on other boards. I wouldn't mind taking a day. Friday is best for me, slow day at work.

mamameech · March 2012

Martha Who? Monday would be fun for me :P
It could be a thread for ladies working on projects or looking for ideas on projects. I could add a wedding related project idea/tutorial to the weekly thread.... Hopefully inspire some and let others show off their weekend work

Just a thought

BMcLeodTeam · March 2012

mamameech - that will definitely be included in the vote, that's cute!

celtic - I will make sure that each month there is a goals/plans post stickied for the girls

These are the suggestions I like! Things I can do that you ladies can use

Johnsonk313 · March 2012

This sounds like an awesome idea! I wouldn't mind taking a day!

BMcLeodTeam · March 2012

Voting is up! Celtic, Junebug and Johnson, do you have any preference in days?

Johnsonk313 · March 2012

I don't have a preference any day works for me.

smartlypretty · March 2012

I've been in Chicago for a few days without steady internet access, so I kind missed all this! Sounds like fun though! Looks like you are set with the hosting, but I can still do "weekly checks" on Sunday nights!
