Updated MOSW Feature! “Pink My Link”

6

You asked for it, and we did it! We have added a “Pink My Link” feature in the comments section!

“Pink My Link” is a feature that allows the original poster/submitter to come back and tell the rest of the story so that MOSW blog readers can learn some of the back story about the comment. After your submission is posted to the blog, you can come back and tell the rest of the story. When you are submitting your follow-up comment, you will have the option to “Pink My Link” which will highlight your comment in pink, so that it will be more visible! The blog readers love when the original poster provides more information, so we hope you take advantage of this feature! This is an honor system, so please, only “Pink My Link” if you are the OP!

Remember, you should receive an email from the MOSW team informing you that your submission has been selected. This may take some time after you submit! And then, the posting date may also be in the future! Please be patient as we screen through and upload submissions, it takes us time! We appreciate your patience!

Please let us know how this “Pink My Link” feature is working for you! And remember, only the OP, if this is abused, we will need to remove the feature!
