<Title>Post and Event Promotion on myUMBC</Title>
<Tagline>How to share and promote your announcements on myUMBC</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div><div><div>
    <div><div>
    <p>Have you ever wanted to promote your club, group, or organization's event or announcement on the front page of myUMBC? Well, here is a quick guide on what you need to know. </p>
    <br><p>The promotion feature allows you to share content from your myUMBC group to all myUMBC users on the front page, reaching a much wider audience than if it were just posted to a group's page. This is a free feature for departments and official student organizations to use that operates on a first-come, first-served basis. </p>
    <br><p>Before you are able to promote content to the front page of myUMBC, there are a few requirements that must be met. </p>
    <ul>
    <li><p>The post or content you wish to promote must be published in an official and public myUMBC group run by a UMBC department or student organization</p></li>
    <li><p>To have the option to promote content, you must be an admin of the group from which the content originates. This does not mean you have to be the creator of the post. </p></li>
    <li><p>There must be an approved thumbnail image to go along with the post</p></li>
    <li><p>The content should be appropriate for all UMBC audiences</p></li>
    <li><p>Content can be promoted by a group once every 3 days, and only 10 promotions can be scheduled in advance</p></li>
    <div><br></div>
    </ul>
    <p>If these requirements are met, you should have no trouble promoting your content.  </p>
    <br><p>To start, you will need to create a post as normal on myUMBC, including your text, thumbnails, alt-text, and any relevant tags. After you hit publish on your post, you may have to refresh the page or navigate to the main page of your group to find the post. </p>
    <br><p>Here you should see a box on the right side with the posts analytics as well as buttons to "Edit", "Copy", "Mark Important", and "Pin". If you are an admin for this group and it qualifies as a department or official student organization, then you should see a purple button labeled "Promote".</p>
    <div>
    <ul><div>
    <li><img src="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/attachments/news/000/156/138/4f7d333ea44502605726decff16876f0/myUMBC%20promotion%20button.png" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></li>
    <div><br></div>
    </div></ul>
    <p>From here, you will be able to pick which day you would like to promote your content. You will see what slots are available. Each day has 4 slots, and you have the ability to make 10 selections for promotions. </p>
    <br><p>If you wish to reserve a spot but don't have your content fully completed, you can fill a future slot with placeholder information to ensure that it won't be taken. Just make sure to update the post with your content before the date it is scheduled to be promoted or posted. </p>
    <br><p>After these are chosen, they can be managed under the "Promotions" tab on your myUMBC Group page. This page will be useful if you wish to cancel posts, make changes to future promotions, or if you signed up for slots using placeholder information.</p>
    <br><p>As always, remember to look over your post to ensure all information is correct and that any approvals needed regarding posting or thumbnails are received. </p>
    <br><strong>We encourage and appreciate any and all feedback from users. If you have any questions or suggestions on how to improve myUMBC, please contact B.
