Suffice it to say that as the central editor of comments on How to Manage a Camel, people out there do know how to give their input on blogs. But to make a generalisation that essentially philosophises ‘If a few know, then all of them know,’ is wrong when it comes to public knowledge of how to post, comment or use blogs to one’s own satisfaction. For not recognising this, I offer this post as a truce.
Here at the Camel, we enjoy receiving feedback, individual posts, even links to your own postings at other sites. We welcome it. But in some cases, people don’t necessarily know where to begin.
I’m here to help, complete with Hypothetical Scenarios to serve as a guide to your next action at How to Manage a Camel.
Hypothetical scenario #1: You’re reading a Camel post talking about work-life balance, recall a instance in yours or somone else’s career in which career and life got in each other’s way, and felt it was to everyone’s advantage that fellow readers were aware of such pitfalls. How could I not comment about this?, you ask yourself rhetorically.
Hypothetical solution #1: Go to the bottom right of the end of the blog entry, and click on Add a Comment. You can give your name, e-mail (we won’t publish it), web site, and comments there. If you’re only reading the post itself, you’re already there and ready to do what you wanted to!
Hypothetical question #2: You remember a funny entry you had read at the Camel a few days ago (You can guess who wrote that post) that mentioned Neil Diamond, and knew you just had to print it off and read it on the long train-ride home. How do you locate it? Moreover, is there a print icon you couldn’t locate?
Hypothetical solution #2a: Not to worry. There’s a keyword search box at the top of the main page on the right-hand side. Just go to the box, type in ‘Neil Diamond’, and you’ve found you’re hilarious article (NOTE: The author has no shame).
Hypothetical solution #2b: There’s no need to scroll all over the web page for a print icon, link or button. Just go to File, then Print.
Hypothetical scenario #3: After reading an entry, you want to read more Camel posts on a similar topics. Where can you filter out the stuff you don’t want to read?
Hypothetical solution #3: On the right-hand side after a short scroll down the page, you’ll come to a gray heading entitled Categories. You can click on your chosen topic - age discrimination, Arras People, Project Management (among others) - and the page automatically filters all articles into your chosen category. ***BONUS: At the end of the article you’ve originally read, the article itself lists categories it is featured under. Click it, and the same filter narrows your search.
With this information, you should be able to comment on Camel-created issues, or just find out what you’ve been looking for. Maybe even have a chuckle, if all comes together!
