A new feature & some submission guidelines

DarkeJournal now has a new "Upcoming Community Events" box in the left sidebar (a sample image is shown to the right). Inside the box, you can click on the individual events and it will expand to show the time, location, and description of the events. It's really a pretty useful feature. Before, individual events could be promoted here, but were in no particular order, and the listings would have to be "bumped" to bring new attention to the event. Hopefully this new feature will solve some of those issues.

On a related note, there are a lot of announcements being submitted on a daily basis. Please follow these basic guidelines to assist in getting your announcement included accurately and quickly: 1) Write your press release exactly as you wish it to appear, 2) please have a title for your post, 3) make sure the time and place are listed for your event, and 4) please do not send in big pdf files of brochures you've created (they do not fit the page well), or if you must, create a small landscape-oriented brochure.
