Assistance for New Analysts

Click here to sign up to become an analyst. We truly appreciate your willingness to take part in inspiring others and making the online world of poetry a better, more impactul, place. Only 100 people will be allowed to become analyst due to restrictions placed by Blogger.

After you've been accepted as an analyst, you'll receive a Blogger blog invitation to join. (The invitation email will have a subject heading- You have been invited to contribute to PoetryBlogRankings' blog.) It will include a link to follow to accept the invitation. Click on that link.

There are two ways to go from here, one for People who are not yet Blogger users (do not have a Google account), one for People who are already Blogger users (have a Google account). This may sound confusing, but it really is pretty easy to set yourself up to contribute.

If you are NOT already a Blogger User, you will be asked to create a Google account. It's free, it's easy, and it takes less than a minute- don't let that scare you off. Just click the Create Account Now link, fill out the form, and click Continue. You will be taken to a form to fill out to create your Google account. Be sure to write down the email and password you select- you will use these to login. Once you have completed this step, you will be re-directed to your Blogger dashboard and the Poetically Analytic Blog you will be contributing to will be listed there.

If you're already a Blogger User (have a Google Account), you will be asked to sign-in using your existing blogger username and password- and the Poetically Analytic blog will be automatically added to your existing Blogger dashboard. Contribute as you would to any blog, format it however you like.

Once you're ready, head on over to http://poetryblogrankings.com/ and sign up (if you've yet to do so) to check out some poets. When you feel as though you've read enough of a poet's work (3 poems or more is standard) and you feel like reviewing that poet's work, just go to Blogger (http://www.blogger.com/), login to the New Blogger using your username and password and select the Poetically Analytic Blog from your Blogger dashboard, and have at it! Click on the Green + sign New Post to add your post to the Blog. Enter your contribution and format it however you like. I've included a template to assist you, but feel free to erase that and get as unique as you see fit. Click Publish Post and you will have posted.
