Now that you have your community bloggers up and running, promote the heck out of them. Here's how:

Alice Coyle, managing editor for the Raynham office for GateHouse Media New England, is promoting her community blogs in a big way.

WHAT SHE DID: From Coyle: "Here's how we're promoting the community blogs so people will find them: it's in features, news now, lifestyles and opinions.  I've also put it in the newsletter and mobile top stories."

THE TAKEAWAY: Coyle created a story, added links to her community blogs and published it to her carousel, top module on her homepage and other appropriate sections on her website. This is a great best practices to emulate. Don't forget Twitter, Facebook and your newspaper.
