Here are the minimum counts for posts on Virily for you!

1. Lack of good documentation is one thing that keeps me from getting very active on this site. Writing a new type of post is like a guessing game. It’s one of the hardest sites to write for because of this.

   • I’ve been part of 26 blogging communities Barbara, very few have any documentation explaining their ‘rules’ or ‘guides’ it up to the posters to ask and find out. I like Virily as they have the most responsive editors I’ve met and they vet the posts before the posts get published, so not just anything gets out on the boards.

     • That’s why I enjoy having my own blogs and the one cooperative blog I have with my friends at Review This! We’ve worked together at Squidoo for years, so it’s easy to work together now. We know what the guidelines are and anyone who belongs to our mutual blog has to be accepted by all the other members. No one gets accepted who can’t write well, and no one needs to wait to have their work approved. I understand why so many social blogging communities need to screen what goes on their sites, but it is frustrating to have to wait.

       • I agree with you, that’s why I had my own blog site as well, I had a good size following too, but my tradition publisher made it part of our contract that I shut down all such activities. I’m no longer with that publisher and was I with Niume before they shut down. Branca of Virily invited me here so I came over.

3. well I’m working on it I’m in mp big hurry
   cause I love taking my time at everything I do cause
   if & when you get in a hurry nothing goes right.
   I hate when things don’t go like I was hoping or planing.

   • Sounds like you have a plan, good work.

     • well I like to think I do but sometimes it don’t always work out that way.

4. While I’m at creating information posts for you is there a question about posting here that you have that I may investigate to answer in a post for you?

   • One suggestion by the creator, Milenazoran, was a post explaining creating images that meet at least the minimum standard for Virily posts, in Windows 10. I will try to post one by March 15th or so.

5. Very basic and informative. Thanks for your efforts.

   • I didn’t want to be overwhelming or full of fluff so I kept the information as straightforward as possible. Do you think it would have been better in a different format?

6. Thank you for this guide, it will be very useful when I write future posts.

   • You are welcome, Versus I’m glad to be of help.

   • Cool, you are welcome, but this is here now so you needn’t remember, you can look it up now when you want.

       • Thank you Deep, do you think this was a good format for this?

9. well that was all nice I wish they would fix the issue i have in my account . It was nice they replied back to you for over 2 hours that must have been nice . I can for the life of me get a reply back on my issue. Only time they reply to me is if it is about a post i made . I finally got a reply from one of them yesterday after i posted a post about my issue and then she rejected it and told me in live chat she don’t reply because she don’t know the answer . They really need to get it together and fix there glitches and answer there members and fix issues when asked . This is the 1st site i have worked on that there rules are different then what they tell you . But i like this site but wish things are a bit better . 🙂

   • You finally got a reply on your issue. And what will be with that? Will they fix it?

     1

     • nope i havent got no answers all she told me was she dont have an answer

       1

       • I am sure she will fix it .

         • i do not think so………. it has been 3 months of asking

       • Perhaps they really don’t have an answer, maybe one of us can help you, have you ask members?

   • Actually, Jenny, this is only the second site I’ve been on out of twenty-six that the editors actually respond to creators at all. I was on Niume for three years and NEVER was replied to by anyone for any issues. and I am still on numerous other sites with similar issues. When I have an issue I get no response or I get an autoresponder. This is the second site that I get a human response, the other is Scriggler. All site have issues, how we work together with them is up to us, I get upset at some time or another with all of them, but I try to work it out.

     • very true it will all work out in the end i am sure

       • Ask others, they may have a solution.

13. It is very sad when the information on the site doesn’t match your information. Poor communication from the site is not helpful for anyone

      • It will be – great post. Personally, I write here, because they let me share pictures. I just wish I could share some of the larger photos I have!

        1

        • As long as you reduce the size to 8 MB you can share your photo, I crop and resize using one of various software, but the easiest is Windows Paint.

20. Thanks for the useful information

23. Fantastic Kenneth. We need this put in the explore virily. like i said above. This would help sooo many.

    1

    • Yes, thank you Kim. That was my thought as I was getting frustrated too.

      1

24. well now that I know this did you HAPPEN to ask them why it takes
    so much time to edit your post every time we put one on here cause
    that’s MY frustration I’m having, they don’t go into the draft section/

    I think if they’d fix the issues they have on here people would write
    more than they do but it’s hard to write when you have to edit what
    you write not 1 time but 2-3 times & STILL don’t come out the way
    you wrote it, that’s MY issue with how the site works, back to mylot.

    • Hello, Easy. The staff of Virily I believe only work 8 hours a day. in Europe, I believe. I find if I post after 5 am MST my posts aren’t tended to until after midnight MST There is limited staff deal with all of us writers with a standard set they are regulated to make our posts meet. If our posts don’t meet this they may kindly teak our post to lift them to the standard or send to the drafts folder, this is up to the editor looking at the post.

      • I just wrote one & I edited it 3 times & STILL it didn’t turn
        out like I wrote it & it was JUST published so someone is
        on here working.

        1

        • Tried to keep being positive and working on your craft Easy, they work with you, if you ask them they’ll tell you why changes are made. Don’t be confrontational, or they will also.

          1

          • yeah I kinda figured that so I just deal with it the best I can
            & not try & push any buttons so I drop a post & visit other 1’s.

            1

        • Cool, I read your posts and follow you, you can be a bit controversial, this may be an issue. But keep writing and posting, you are good.

          1

          • I thank you for your support & I try my best to keep up
            with everyone I can on here, I try to come up with post’s
            that engages everyone the best I can, you got any ideas?

            1

        • Yes, and I think that’s what we look for and the best we can do, you do well. It takes time to build a following of readers though.

          1

          • I’m in no hurry as I will get the followers when their ready
            I just do what I can on here & hope for the best these days
            I don’t expect nothing special to happen anytime soon.

            I just dropped a post on here now I just need to see what
            happens next so I’ll be here sunday I have some crafting
            to get done chat with you later.
