NEWCOMER RESOURCES CATEGORY ADDED
The ComLine Blog has added a new category for submissions to the blog. The new category is “Newcomer Resources”. We invite ACA members to submit shares and other content they feel will be of particular benefit to those who are new to the ACA program of recovery.
POSTING COMMENTS TRIAL PERIOD STARTS JULY 1
Posting of comments by readers on newly-published individual ComLine Blog submissions is now enabled for a trial period of up to six months. These comments will be visible to members of the ComLine Blog Subcommittee, but will not be made public during this trial period. The Subcommittee will use information collected to prepare a possible recommendation to make such comments publicly available to authors and readers of the blog.
We invite readers to leave comments on new blog submissions, but the ability to leave comments on submissions published before 1 July 2024 is not enabled. We also invite comments as to whether you feel allowing reader comments and making them public would or would not be a good feature for the ComLine Blog to add. Just click on “Submit Feedback” in the right sidebar.
