Step 1
Read "The Volumetrics Eating Plan" to educate yourself before you post messages (see Resources below). Even if you are posting to ask a question, you may receive a more helpful answer if you school yourself on the basics before you post.
-
Step 2
Prepare your message offline to address your concerns thoughtfully or ask your questions in a respectful way.
-
Step 3
Use BoardReader.com to search for related message boards with search words, messages or topics on Volumetrics, weight control, dieting and fitness (see Resources below).
-
Step 4
Read the message board or blog before you post a message or comment. "Lurking," to familiarize yourself with any community before you become an active participant, helps you observe its etiquette and stay on topic.
-
Step 5
Protect your privacy as you post messages about Volumetrics by using an online handle that allows anonymity. You should assume that anything you post on an online message board or blog will live permanently online.
-
Step 1
Plan your own unofficial blog on the Volumetrics eating and weight control plan to encourage potential participants to share experiences, recipes and mutual support.
-
Step 2
Create a free blog account at Blogger.com and start posting messages on Volumetrics immediately (see Resources below).
-
Step 3
Manage your blog regularly to ensure that posted responses stay on topic and that they continually encourage individuals using Volumetrics to lose weight.
