No Prob sweetie. As fart as where to start to become a reviewer I guess the links that I have been posted here is a great start. But checking out the forums for topics taht interest you will be a great start to find fell EF peeps that have your same interests.

Hi everyone! I'm late as always. And thanks JR for the pic tutorial. I screwed it up last time I tried it. Might test it out here later when I'm not having to use a phone with a piece of crap touchscreen.

Yes!

Facebook also might not like it either.

Very true. Also be careful of copyright type stuff if you copy an image from a site.

Kindred,
You said you have to make sure you have the appropriate privacy settings for hosting pics. What does that mean? What is appropriate setting?

I can't think of a better way to get a new person started reviewing.

I know for Flickr you can set the content level so that adult content will not be selected in searches that intentionally exclude that type of content.

I'm sorry! I guess your question got lost in the F5'ing (refreshes).

If you go to this page or even the main page, there are links that say "join up now" or "become a reviewer" and they'll take you to the sign up page.

This page will walk you through the steps.

EXCEPT in review summaries and titles, the coding gets funky there and it could mess up your review
Alright, stupid question but I have to ask.You mean the coding is different if using them in your reviews?

Signing up to do reviews was really really easy. I was shocked and of course pleased.

In the links that were given out earlier I am sure is says how too. You can either do it by getting a mentor (which sounds like is the best way to go about it) or just sign up with EF directly. You can do this by going to your main account/profile page but I guess you can only view it once you get the email. You can also sk any of the EF staff to give you the direct links to requesting to become a reviewer.

When you submit a review, the title of the review also becomes part of the address for it. If you have programming characters, "weird things happen". I don't know what exactly, but I was told to just not do it.

It's more like the fields for summaries and titles are slightly different and if you try to use the bracket tags, they don't register them properly and you get (bracket) bold (line) TITLE (bracket) instead of just a bold title like you wanted. The body of the review supports all the regular coding though.

No, he is saying that you can not code/link in the summaries or the titles.

Oh so your a reviewer now? Cool.

I have been thinking about it and was even approach by some EF peeps about it I think since I have a lot of twitter followers I have a kind of a built in audience.

I would suggest getting a mentor before your first review. I did my first on my own, and I definitely could have used Annemarie's help
