Join in the Fun @ DM Blog
So You Want to Collaborate
What this is, is group blogging. Say, Blogger A has a thought regarding anything on the Marina. He starts with a heading or title, then elaborates. Anyone, may proceed to comment on his statement, or Blogger B may at any point introduce his own topic of discussion. On a usual website or even a blog the Webmaster guy or gal pretty much controls the content. In a collaborative blog each blogger is basically free to add his/her own content. The Dubai Marina is (or will be) such an expansive community that it would be better served to have a forum to which many can contribute.
For those familiar with blogging it will be easy. For those with no experience, you will learn! Start by reading carefully about how it works below.
To the experienced blogger: You will be able to post text and format it in any way you please. Unlike posting a comment you will be the one to choose a title, and set the topic of your post. You may also format (if you like) and post pictures.
To all bloggers: The only requirement is that whatever you post be Dubai Marina relevant and, of course, neither indecent nor offensive--use your own judgement!
How it Works
In standard blogging the blogger types something up in a text box (online), clicks a button to publish, and voila! What he has written appears on a webpage for all to see.
Besides what has already been stated above, the DM Blog gives the reader or visitor to the Dubai Marina Communities sites a chance to not only learn about the Dubai Marina but contribute to the community and interact with others. This is already possible to some extent through posting comments, but blogging takes it a step further.
If you feel so inclined, then don't hesitate to join in the fun!

- You will need an email address. This is so that you may receive an invitation to join the DM Blog. You will also need your email address to complete the following step.
- You must have (or get) a user ID associated with a Blogger account--this enables you to login and post messages. If you already have a Blogger account you may use the ID associated with it or you may wish to create a new Blogger account. To create a Blogger account go to Blogger.com and follow the step-by-step instructions.
(Please note: When you create a Blogger account you will be guided through the process of creating a blog as well. If this is your first time and you are unsure what to blog about, just create a blog entitled "About Me" and in your first post (an initial post is required) write anything, briefly, about yourself, then click the publish button. In completing this step you will have created a blog on the Internet (to which you can freely post at any time), and you will at the same time have created a Blogger ID which allows you to publish posts to not only your own blog, but also any blog to which you are invited to collaborate on.) - Contact me the website manager, by email, upon which I will send an invitation to you to join the DM Blog. After receiving the invitation reply as instructed. You will then be able to log in to your Blogger account and post directly to the DM Blog.
