How to Manage a Volunteer Led Blog that�Rocks - Online Fundraising, Advocacy, and Social Media - frogloop: "Setting Up a Volunteer Led Blog
“We are about 2 months into a blog. Our plan is to use guest bloggers 4-5 times per month. We have created an editorial calendar for the content as well as who best to ask to submit the post. In this case, parents with kids dealing with substance abuse, local media, medical professionals and law enforcement. No incentive necessary because they are all committed to the cause. So far so good,” said Abbie S. Fink who works with the Partnership for a Drug-Free America in Arizona."

So this year Pepsi is eliminating Refresh Project’s biggest $250,000 grant category, the Wall Street Journal reports, the source of many of these complaints."
