    <title>Transition Technology: Ticket #661: Add button block to homepage RHS: Send us your news stories</title>
    <link>http://localhost:8080/trac/ticket/661</link>
    <description>&lt;p&gt;
January:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Create button for TN homepage and /news and /blogs to encourage people to send in stories.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;create button like the existing ones - e.g:
&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;a class="ext-link" href="https://www.transitionnetwork.org/admin/build/block/configure/block/89?destination=newhome"&gt;&lt;span class="icon"&gt;​&lt;/span&gt;https://www.transitionnetwork.org/admin/build/block/configure/block/89?destination=newhome&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol start="2"&gt;&lt;li&gt;add suitably pithy text
&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;ol start="3"&gt;&lt;li&gt;if in doubt about style, read Ben's style cheatsheet on google docs:
&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;a class="ext-link" href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1z6JYGiy8EJ6pqjm_WyNUS26fQgIClmIFg0a-8y-Mots/edit#heading=h.siua52eim2e9"&gt;&lt;span class="icon"&gt;​&lt;/span&gt;https://docs.google.com/document/d/1z6JYGiy8EJ6pqjm_WyNUS26fQgIClmIFg0a-8y-Mots/edit#heading=h.siua52eim2e9&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol start="4"&gt;&lt;li&gt;this will need to be an email forwarder to send to Rob instead of a http link as per the other buttons, so you'll need to set one up on United's dashboard using the main 'jmcgeechan' account
&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;
cc-ing benj as he can be around to help with postitioning/button make if an issue - but can't do email forwarder set up - and don't forget sam - if you're too busy you can always farm it out to ben (although this is probably a bit easy for ben, he'll know about how to get blocks in the right order)
&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p&gt;
NB: there is already a 'suggested news item' link from the contact form on TN.org which goes to Rob and webproject...
&lt;/p&gt;

Hi Ed
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Not sure about this one, seems like the homepage is pretty busy already.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
In the interests of keeping it as minimal as possible I have done a simple 'suggest a news item' button.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;a class="ext-link" href="https://www.transitionnetwork.org/"&gt;&lt;span class="icon"&gt;​&lt;/span&gt;https://www.transitionnetwork.org/&lt;/a&gt; (visible to admin only at the moment pending feedback)
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
At the moment it just links to the contact form. I could do a standalone webform for it if you prefer?
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I'm not sure about the forwarding thing you were suggesting? Were you thinking a 'mailto:' link? I'd shy away from these for reasons of spam &amp;amp; usability.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Let me know what you think..
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Thanks
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Sam
&lt;/p&gt;
