Envirowiki:Promotion

From Envirowiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Envirowiki, being a wiki, will become more useful as it gets more users, and that will feedback into making envirowiki more useful. The hard part is getting a few dedicated contributors at the start, to flesh it out a bit to attract other users. That's where promotion comes in, and you can help!

[edit] Word of mouth

Tell people about the site, and give them the web address! Tell people at your environment group that they can use it to store and share information about their campaigns.

Even better, email them with a direct link. If they are working in a specific area, send them a link to that page. If they already know a bit about how wikis work, send them a blank page, so they can start it. Send it out on e-lists too, and get lots of people at once!

[edit] Promote on the 'web

If you have a website, stick one of these buttons on it:

Png with transparent background (may not
work in internet explorer 6, can be used to create a
new button with the same background colour as your page).
Jpeg with white BGJpeg with black BG

You're also welcome to make you own buttons, as the logo is released under the CC-BY-NC-SA 3.0 license.

Stick a link in your signature when you post on forums, or link to pages when you comment on environmental articles.
