The S-O-S Best of the Best (B of B) is a collection of posts from different bloggers on a particular topic. A new topic is selected each month and the B of B is posted on S-O-S on the 15th of each month.
Parents, teachers and other professionals will be exposed to a lot of information and varied opinions on one topic a month in one easy-to-read post. You will also discover new bloggers to follow.
Information for Bloggers
Any blogger may submit a post as long as it meets these guidelines:
- A submitted post must have been written in the past 30 days in response to the announcement of the B of B. You must be the author of the post and its contents must be your original work. The post must not have been published on any other blog other than yours.
- The B of B is published on the 15th of each month. Please submit your post no later than the 13th to dmschott at pacbell dot net. One post per blogger for each topic. (If the current month’s topic is not your thing or you are too busy to participate in a given month, no problem. Always check back and in the right-hand column the current month’s topic being worked on will be listed under the Best of the Best button.)
- Once the B of B is posted, please tweet the post, reference it on your Facebook page, and possibly mention it on your blog.
Submission of a post does not guarantee inclusion in the B of B. The goal is to provide parents, teachers, and other professionals with varied opinions on a selected topic. But, I do not have to agree with your opinion for inclusion, because the point is to provide readers with many different viewpoints and options when dealing with special needs issues.
Get Your Own Best of the Best Button
Once you have posted to B of B, why not get a button to tell your readers? Email me to get your own button to display and and I will add you to the list of the Best of the Best Bloggers. (You do not have to post every month to get a button; you qualifiy if you have had at least one post accepted.)
Personal Post
In addition to being listed on the B of B Blogger page, you have the option to submit a post on yourself under the When One Door Closes, Another Door Opens series. This post will help introduce you–the blogger–to parents, professionals, and other bloggers. You can include your Facebook page, Twitter account, and of course your blog name giving everyone the ability to connect with you. If you are not a parent of a child with special needs, your post can include why you chose to enter your particular field of interest, what you have learned from working with children with special needs, etc. Again, please contact me if you have any questions. A good post to look at as an example is A Door to Advocacy and Leadership for Asperger’s and a Special Kind of Fame written by Gavin Bollard.
Again, please contact me with any questions or comments.
