Newsies Team Getting Started Working with WordPress Style Guide ↳ Easy interviews ↳ Plot summaries Submission Checklist News Cycle Cycle Templates Posting ideas Team Co-Facilitators Alora DeVeau Gogigobo Fairhug Team Deputy Facilitators Alix Harford Edit this nav Chats For the templates below, you'll need to set up a new World Time Buddy appointment for the "see your timezone" link. Go to that site, and: Select the date of the chat in the top bar of the box showing the time zones. Select the appropriate time. We always tie to the San Francisco (Pacific) time zone, so on that line, choose 90 minutes starting at 10am. You should now see an "event" button in the top bar of the box showing the time zones – click that. You'll now be on a "Meeting details" page. Click on the orange button titled "Edit title/description" and change it to "UFOP: SB118 - [Month] [Year] chat" Click the green "Preview" button, make sure everything looks right, and then click the green "get short link" button. Copy the resulting meeting URL, and paste that into your reminders below You should also consider changing the generic text in the third paragraph of each reminder. Brainstorm something that sounds fun! "This weekend" When: This should be scheduled for six days prior to the chat, to remind people of the upcoming event.
