    Our New SIdebar Addition

    Submitted by Jordan on Sat, 07/31/2010 - 23:44

    Hey guys, just wanted to let you know about the new addtion to the sidebar.

    Here at DisMarks we've never really worried much about advertising, but we've always been big on community. When we were approached by Maingate Ads, a small, Disney-fan run company that finds ads for things Disney fans will enjoy and benefit from, we thought it was a great opportunity to support our community while helping to defray some of the costs of running DisMarks. We think they're aesthetically pleasing and don't disrupt the flow of the site, so we don't expect any deterioration of user experience. We hope you agree.

    Thanks again to everyone for their ongoing support.

    The DisMarks Team.

    Welcome to the first edition of the Disney Blog Carnival. If you're not sure what a blog carnival is you can read this post, but ultimately this is just a collection of great posts about Disney.

    Next Edition

    We've decided that having the Carnival post on Tuesdays is probably a better day, so we're shooting for submissions for the next edition to be in by April 10 for a post on April 13. Also, the next edition will be hosted on DisMarks, but if you'd like to be considered for the host after that be sure to let us know.

    Here's the link to submit to the next edition.

    Disney Blog Carnival

    Submitted by Jordan on Tue, 03/16/2010 - 23:04

    For those interested in participating in the Disney Blog Carnival, here's a whole bunch of information to help you understand what it is, how it works, and why you might want to participate.

    What's a Blog Carnival

    A blog carnival is simply an online "event" to which bloggers in the same topic area submit a post. The carnival then provides a link to all of those blogs that should be of interest to carnival readers. It provides some good exposure to all participating blogs.

    Click here to hear more about the benefits of participating in or hosting a blog carnival.

    How Does It Work?

    Here's a quick breakdown of how the process works for those unfamiliar with it:

    • Each contributor writes a post and submits it to the carnival using this form.
    • The host, who will likely be a different blogger each week, creates a new "official blog carnival" post on their site. This post has a link to all the carnival submissions and summaries of their posts.
    • Once the host's post is up, all of the carnival entries now link to it.

    We're done! Now everyone who reads any of the carnival posts can follow the link to the central post to learn about all the other carnival posts.

    By doing this, each of the participants gets exposure from all of the other participants as well as the host. It is also beneficial from a search engine ranking perspective.

    Hosting the Carnival

    DisMarks will host the first carnival(s). As soon as we have enough consistent participants, we'll do a rotating hosting schedule. If no one wants to host a particular carnival, DisMarks will host. We'll also link to all the compilation carnival posts from here, so we have them all stored in one place.

    Great, How Do I Get In?

    Use this form to submit a post you'd like to be considered for the next carnival. Right now we'll do free form topics, but once we have it rolling we may start doing a "suggested topic" for the week.

    The First Carnival

    We'll have the first carnival on Friday, April 2nd. This means all submissions should be in by Tuesday, March 30th. If you're' not ready, don't worry you can catch the next week's carnival. We'll update this space to let you who's hosting each week and when your submissions are due.

    More DisMarks Improvements

    Submitted by Jordan on Mon, 09/07/2009 - 18:22

    We're testing out some new improvements to DisMarks, let us know what you think:

    • Added TweetMeme buttons both upcoming and promoted DisMarks. This way you can tweet about DisMarks you think are good with only one click. Please do Tweet about your favorite stories to help spread the word about DisMarks.
    • We've added a "Share on Facebook" button as well. You can only see this in the detail view of the story. Please use this as well as it helps promote DisMarks as well as the story..
    • Posting promotions to both the Twitter account and Facebook. As you probably know, whenever a story is promoted, we tweet about it. Until now, however the Facebook page didn't receive any love. We felt like our Facebook fans were getting short shrift, so now they both should get updates. If this was keeping you from following us on Facebook, no more need to wait!
    • Switched from TinyURL to bit.ly as our URL shortener. This won't mean much to most of you, but it has some nicer features.

    Please let us know if any of these are annoying or if you have any further suggestions!
    Thanks,
    Jordan
