RIP Yahoo! Voices: Another Writing Platform Gone

Dear Readers,

I apologize for not getting this out to you earlier. Yahoo! is closing their website Yahoo! Contributor Network (Yahoo! Voices, formerly Associated Content). This means that the internet community is losing another user generated content platform. Fortunately, Yahoo! has made it easy for content producers (peeps like me) to download their work. If you're a content producer follow these steps to recover your work before July 31st, 2014 (the date the site goes dark).

1.) Log in to Yahoo! Contributor Network from the Yahoo! home page or go to: contributor.yahoo.com
2.) Click on the "Content" tab
3.) Click on first piece (article, etc.), in the pop up window click "download".
4.) Choose where to save your work. Don't forget to rename the file. Yahoo! uses a generic title.
5.) Repeat for all your work.

This year we've lost a handful of publishing platforms in both print and electronic formats. From the ashes, new publishers are rising. I wish them luck!

Stay tuned for updates on new publishing opportunities as well as more information on where I'll house the content formerly found on Yahoo! and Helium. This also means that there will be dead links in some of my earlier posts. If you find any, please leave a comment. Thank you.

Pax et Poema!
