Literacy Base: Quickie Review

Tweet

Less than a week since joining Literacy Base (YABC, yet another blogging community). Some LB members have a little bit of a problem with the blog post submission process. It's sort of micro-managed by the site owners. When you have blogging experience and you think it's enough experience to at least have graduated from newbie to intermediate or even advanced blogger, you might feel a little uneasy when somebody insists on eyeballing your content and reviewing it thoroughly before giving it their “blessing”. As if! But if you just let them do their thing, you might find that after a while you don't mind the Review and Approval process at all. LB has a rank or status for its members. Right now my rank is a “Newbie”. It could be that if my rank changes, the blog post review and approval may be deemed unnecessary. Not sure. Like I said. Haven't been there long enough. That's why this is a quickie review. So far, two posts were submitted and both posts were approved and are online. It was a quick review (less than 24 hours). Although I've read some members complaining their post submissions must have been dropped into an abyss. What I'm also noticing is that a lot of blog posts published by other members are really interesting! They show up on the sidebar, similar to myLot's “You Might Also Like” suggestions. In contrast to BlogJob, where you have your own blog, you don't have a separate stand alone blog of your own at Literacy Base. Instead there are about 10 to 15 Categories and you pick the one that best suits your post. Then it's included with posts by others in that same category. I'm perfectly OK with that! Any blog publishers out there? Would you be OK with a set up like this? P.S. If this is important, LB uses the Wordpress platform. UPDATE Sep 2017 : After several weeks of inactivity all of a sudden the site seems to have revived. No idea what's going with it.
