=Blog Post Writing Process=

#Before beginning a blog post, blog writers must get preliminary approval from Anne or Ed. To propose a blog post, sketch the idea in 2-3 sentences in a post on the #bloggers Slack Channel. Include links to at least three sources you would draw on to write the post. State the implications for public policy on entrepreneurship, innovation, or public policy in your proposal.

#Once the draft is ready for review, give it to the next available peer editor. He or she will make suggestions and return the blog post to the writer. The writer will revise the draft based on these suggestions

#Give the revised draft to Anne, completing the same process of suggestion and revision as with the peer editor in Step 1. If any large changes are made in this process, the writer will give the new draft to another available peer editor to check for grammar/content one last time before giving it to Ed. This process may have to be repeated more than once if the blog needs further development.

#Once the graphics and content have been approved, the writer can post it all into WordPress. The writer need to make the page visually appealing and set up the WordPress features- Use [[Blog Post Best Practices]] for help (SEO, Readability, Tags, Hyperlinks). At this point, the blog post will be ready for publication, but should be labeled as a “Draft” within WordPress (not public yet).

#Notify the Online Editor that the post is completely ready to be published. The Online Editor checks that the post is at the quality we expect for publishing, looking at graphics, plugins, content, title, etc. The Online Editor can then publish it to the public in WordPress.
