Exceptional postings will be featured on the corporate blog home page. • In the future, we hope to create filters that automatically categorize associate posts to the corporate blog. Promotion to the front page may also be driven by peer voting or by marketing team lead as required. • What if I have technical questions regarding the site? • Send emails to: blogadministrator@liquidhub.com.

LiquidHub Blog FAQs [continued] • Are there any additional guidelines you can provide for blog post content? • Respect other’s intellectual property. • Don’t plagiarize. • Provide clear attribution when quoting material. • Please do not cite client names or client organizations. • Link frequently in your posts, especially to other LiquidHub blog postings and web content…common practice in the “Blog-o-sphere” and beneficial to our company’s marketing. • Can I use WordPress plug-ins on my associate blog? • Yes, many useful plug-ins are already installed and available. We ask that you obtain permission from the blog administrators group, blogadministrator@liquidhub.com, before using any new plug-ins.Our primary concern with plug-ins is ensuring that our blogging platform remains stable and performant for everyone. We’d also like to discover and share new plug-ins with all associates. • Does LiquidHub have an official Blogging Terms of Use Policy? • Currently, we do not have one beyond our existing communications guidelines in the associate handbook. If we need to create one, we would likely base it on the excellent Harvard Law School blogging Terms of Service: http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/terms-of-use/
