Hi, Kareen - Welcome to OMTimes! First of all, we ask members to use their full/legal names as members, so please amend your page name to reflect this. We are persons first, and ask that roles and titles be reflected in your bio paragraph that must accompany each contribution. Know that items you contribute to the writers community should be in as finished and ready a form as possible for consideration for publishing and promotion as articles. We seek to streamline submissions for our editors to review, so we recommend that blogs (which do not fit our submission requirements) be posted elsewhere.

If you would like the articles to be reviewed you may add one or more on your page and the other editors and I go through on a regular basis to comment and select. It is not an immediate process; we are selecting items now from the community for upcoming magazine editions in July, August and beyond. We trust that our contributing members would have a good idea of the types of material we might accept, and we do have writers who offer as their work may come in bunches and batches, but flooding the stream will not necessarily guarantee acceptance.

If you have two or three at a time, that is good, and it will give us a chance to give you feedback, if necessary. Thank you for your interest, and we look forward to reading your contributions ~ Blessings!

Thank you so much for the clarification. One last question, am I able to post a blog here, then share it to my Facebook page? Or is that against the rules?

Thanks again!

This was answered under the forum discussion item, where it was also asked. ~ Blessings!
