Getting the word out on the Duke City Fix

There are a bunch of ways to promote your events or other cool stuff on the Duke City Fix. Before you do any of them, though, please read Being a Good Web Citizen, which could very well save you from making an embarassing web gaffe and/or getting booted from the site. Before you can do any of these things, though, you'll need to join the site (look in the upper right corner of the page to find this link!)

1. Post events to our calendar. Once you create an account, you can join our group, post events, add photos, and send them to the Duke City Fix calendar.

2. Add events and other info to the Announcements section in our forum.

3. Find a like-minded cluster of people in our Groups section. If one doesn't already exist, think about creating your own (but please do check carefully -- duplicates suck).

4. If you're a photographer, include your work in the DCF Flickr pool.

5. We're generally open to the idea of give-aways on the site. Email us with your ideas.

6. Blog about what you do here in Albuquerque on your own DCF blog page!

7. Some regular bloggers are interested in specific issues, and you might try contacting them directly through the DCF system (go to the blogger's profile page and click on "Send a Message"). Please note that these are not assigned beats, and writers have 100% discretion in choosing what they write about:

• Arts: Spring Griffin
• Giveaways, film & education: Sophie Martin
• Charity events, shopping & parties: Kitson Harvey
• Music: Edith Grove

All that said, please don't add us to your press release email list or blast email DCF members. That's likely to get you bounced from the site.

If you have questions about the technical aspects of getting all this stuff done, you'll find a good place to search for solutions or post your own queries in the Fix Administrivia section of our forum.
