Here's how it works:
- Leave news below in the comment section. Make sure you include the category before you write the news (Miscellaneous News, Birthdays or Anniversaries, Loss Remembrances, Loss Announcements, Miscellaneous Support, Bed Rest Babes, Pregnancy Announcements, or Birth/Adoption Announcements.)
- Important: Just like the real LFCA, do not add new blogs to this list. They will not be put on the blogroll. To add a blog to the blogroll, please email me the link as well as which category would be the best fit. Once added to the blogroll, it will also be added to the new blog section of the LFCA if it fits the current time frame.
- Try to add your news in this format: Category: Blog Name (linked) Rest of blurb. For example: Support: Stirrup Queens is putting up a DIY version of the LFCA. Go leave news in the comment box. The html to write your blurb like that is in this red box:
If you can't write your comment using the html format, simply cut and paste the url for the blog within the comment so people can go over. More important to get out the news than to have it look orderly.
I have the comments monitored right now because I'm away from my computer for large chunks of time, but have email by phone, so it's easier to hit approve from the phone than it is to dive into the comment section and remove spam (sadly, a daily occurrence). There may be a lag between leaving a comment and seeing it go up, but it will go up.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Yes, all things on the spreadsheet will be uploaded when the next LFCA goes up, but if you want it here too, leave it in the comment section. It only works in one direction--anything on the spreadsheet can also be listed here, but things listed here won't necessarily make it into the next LFCA unless added to the spreadsheet.
