A photography theme or page??

The BRAND NEW Google+ Pages & Themes Circle –– Announcement Post 

#CircleSharingForThePeoplePTC  

This circle is a bit different than the rest of my shared circles, but it will be a perfect one to add. The focus of the circle will be PAGES and THEMES around photography. Like the Yellow Pages of Pages & Themes on Google+. Pages will be shared in a circle and themes without a page will be listed on a Google+ Page that I will create.

Who can ask for inclusion?

If you have a page (not your normal account but a separate page) focusing on photography (personal photo pages are ok) and/or curate a theme, then this is the circle you want to be in. Commercial photo pages are as welcome as pages/themes from amateurs.

Examples: A theme page would be Curvy Friday and it’s theme hash would be #curvyfriday .

You may suggest pages and themes you know of, but the owners/curators must ask for inclusion personally. I want to avoid misunderstandings since not everybody wants to participate in shared circles.

How do you get in?

It’s very simple. You need to do complete the following steps.

1) –– Plus and reshare this post. Why? Because if you want to be promoted, it’s only fair that you help promote your fellow photographers as well. Deal?

2) –– Ask for inclusion in the comments (must be in this post, not the one you reshare) and please state what kind of photography your page and/or theme is about, add the theme hashtag and link to page (example: #curvyfriday   Curvy Friday curated by Peter From and lorena masi ) and that you HAVE completed all steps. I will check every feed but I won’t check twice. Do not add links to Google+ albums, external websites etc. in the comments. If you do, your comment will be deleted.

That’s it.

I do not judge the contents of your page or the theme, but if I find too much bling-bling in the feed, I might not add the page to this circle.

Have something to say about my circles? Wanna know what others gained from being in the circles? Then go here: https://plus.google.com/116219534929662479848/posts/7Evg2rSE2Hv 

NOTE! If you see that I have plussed your comment, then you know that I have added your page/theme to the circle. I didn’t PLUS your comment? Make sure that you have reshared this announcement post publicly (and not just to one of your circles) and let me know that you did so.

This announcement post is hash-tagged with #CircleSharingForThePeoplePTC so that you may mute the reshares this post will generate. That way you will avoid seeing multiple copies of this post in your feed and your adrenaline level will stay normal. I will add a new hash-tag for every announcement and circle post in the future. That way you won’t miss out on any of the action but still can mute all the duplicate reshares. 

Here is an excellent add-on that will help you to mute the reshares: http://code.google.com/p/nonplus/

Cheers!
