A few rules:
For this first diary, please wait until about 150 comments, and then look for the next one.
No pictures! - not a one and yes; this includes you.
Please only post transcriptions as replies to the first comment.
New diaries usually pop up when the comments get to around 250ish.
So, we're still ironing out some kinks with this new liveblog system stuff. Marcus Tullius was clever enough to set up an email account for us to use: liveblogdkos at gmail.com
Suggestions (even nerds like us can't keep up with everything C-SPAN does), flames, tips, liveblogging logistics, etc. - that email addy is the cat-herding clearinghouse.
; )
So, speaking of diary volunteers...hey - where's everybody going?!?? If you would like to post one for the continued enjoyment of Petraeus' water carrying, give a shout out.
If you are so kind as to volunteer a diary:
a) thank you!
b) there is no required format, just please do provide the C-SPAN link and broadcast time. some people, for continuity's sake, like to just copy the previous diary, but don't feel like you have to - if you want to have fun with it, knock yourself out. I do.
: p
c) please help us keep updated by emailing liveblogdkos at gmail when you post your diary. alternately, feel free to IM me, Cedwyn, or whoever else is on duty and freely sharing their AIM name. either works and it would be super-duper helpful for staying on top the diaries.
Thanks!
d) but, please, purty please do help us standardize things somewhat by including the list of admonitions* and preserving the transcription section format.
*List of admonitions:
Please do not rec this diary - the main Liveblog is the only one to rec.
No pictures - not a one and yes; this includes you.
Please reply to the first comment only with transcriptions.
New diaries usually pop up when the comments get to around 250
On to the sandbox! Please rec this diary as our rec list anchor to keep up with all this throughout the day.
