Rules, Rules. Yes we have rules!
Please Recommend ONLY this Diary - This is the Mothership
No pictures - not a one and yes; this includes you.
Please reply to the first comment only with transcriptions.
New diaries usually pop up roughly when the comments break 200. The second diary, immediately following the Mothership, will post somewhere around 150 comments.
This was very last minute, so we didn't do the cat-herding Call for Volunteers ahead of time. If you'd like to help out by contributing your diary to the liveblog session, please reply to the second comment. I suspect we'll need maybe 5 today? One can never tell with congresscritters!
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 (donnamarie = BielDon; Marcus Tullius = waiting4cicero) and freely sharing their AIM name. either works and it would be super-duper helpful for staying on top the diaries.
Thanks!
d) while there is no required format per se, do please, purty please help us standardize things somewhat by including the list of admonitions* and preserving the transcription section format, as demonstrated in comments #1 and #3.
*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.
