What Is Your Space?
Your Space is a simple blogging tool for you to write about the charities and causes you support and to get others involved in what you're doing.
Who Can Take Part?
Anyone who has a charity to shout about! Individuals, or organisations, who want to share their own charity news, information, events and fund raising activities with others.
How Do I Start?
You need to be registered on the site to be able to create a new blog and upload text and images and to be able to comment on other people's blogs. Registration box is in the top left hand corner of the site. It takes a few minutes and is free.
How Do I Create a Blog?
Once registered, login in and go to Your Space on the main menu bar. Once in the YCS main index, click Create new blog and start writing text, browse for an image, if you have one. And Save. The blogging page has tools for bold, italics, etc.
Uploading Images
You can upload one image with each blog, or you can just text blog.
What Shall I Put in my Blog?
Whatever you want provided it complies with the Terms and Conditions of the site. Interesting personal stories about your charity experiences, achievements, activities, events, news and appeals are likely to get visits and responses. You can also link to interesting information or video that relates to the voluntary sector.
Submitting Your Post
Once you've saved your blog, it will be moderated and posted on the site and will appear in Most Recent Blogs and will feature in Browse by Category.
Can I Make Changes?
You can edit any of the blogs you have posted at any time. When you're logged in, in the blue 'logged in' panel on the left, go to 'your blogs', select a post and look for the edit icon (pencil). You can change the text or image on any existing blog and save it again. It will be moderated before it is posted. You can also edit your profile at any time in the logged in panel.
Involving Others
Other people can comment on what you've posted in the Comments section on each blog. Again, to comment you need to be registered on the site and 'logged in'. Other people can also donate to your charity (see Donate below).
Donate
The Donate button enables anyone to donate money to a charity via a Community Channel/Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) page where you can select the charity you want to give money to. The database carries the majority of UK-registered charities. You don't have to be logged in to donate.
Comments
You need to be logged in to comment on other blogs. Just click the Leave a Comment link, write your text and Save and it will be posted straightaway.
