OK, now I am really really “maturing” in my approach.
The format (or foolmat) of the postings will always start with “Yahoo Answers”. When I post my answer, all I know is that it’s an answer. It will first be a pending, then either go to “bad” … err “not best” or “best”. Why try to change the title, (I DO like the tile to reflect the category), when it “resolves”. It mucks with how WordPressDotCom assigns a url. So, “YA” for all.
I’ve also updated the categories. I realized there are TWO types of best — by voters (which can be messed with) and by asker. The “by Asker” is the gold standard (can’t be messed with) because that is really who counts here. So I have an updated category hierarchy.
YahooAnswers – top level
— YahooAnswers – Best for “Best in Show” (Those that got the ten meaningless points)
— YahooAnswers – Best by Asker (The most valuable form of “best”)
— YahooAnswers – Best by Voters (A less valuable form of “best”)
— YahooAnswers – Not Best (My clearly misunderstood entries that were not “winners”)
— YahooAnswers – Pending (My excellent entries waiting for their “acclaim”)
— YahooAnswers – Status (For aministrivia like this)
Why?
(1) Clearly, it about answering someone’s question so that they feel they have the best answer.
(2) Even more clearly, I want to communicate such that people immediately see the value.
(3) From pending, you can go and cook the books by voting for my superior whizdumb!
(4) From status, you can see in my mixed up mind.
Lessons learned:
(1) As usual, I’ve jumped into the swamp with out organizing for alligators.
(2) Aiello’s admonition about holes and digging needs amending. Something inclusive of painting and corners.
(3) Why do I make a fool out of myself. No wonder I have no image to be snooty about. One leg at a time, Sweet …
Your thoughts? After all this ego trip is PARTIALLY for you. :-)
