Everyone, to get more participation, readers, people aware of EP's existence, please help out with a few things:

1. On other sites, if you are referencing a post, especially if you have posted it on many sites, link to the EP version in the comment.

2. If you have a blog roll and on dailykos everyone has a blog roll, add EP to it.

3. Join Technorati and "fav" EP. They rank blogs and we are really moving up but hardly any "favs" in user accounts.

4. please use the cross post link in the user guide to link back to EP. Also remember, please change your blog title and if you put this cross post link at the top of your blog, the news aggregators and blog aggregators will not punish you for cross linking.

Some unethical sites steal content from others and then publish it, without permission. As a result, Google and other aggregators reduce the blog rank, page rank of that site and "bury it" so it will not be found. So, when cross posting, please change the first few sentences and title of your piece and that way we will not be punished or the other site you are posting on will not be punished.

5. If you know others who are serious on economics, want policy based in reality, dealing with making the U.S. strong again, working people's interests and so forth, invite them over to register and join in on the site. Sometimes it takes an invite for people to feel comfortable participating.

Also, EP is a community blog, which is unusual in the world of economics blogs so people may not realize EP is here for them to write on, participate in. It's a "bottom up" structure when most blogs are "top down" and at best all one can do is comment.

6. In this regard, please uprate blog posts you like. Little arrow button on bottom left. Gives good juju and allows writers to see someone bothered to read their work.
