As a general matter, I’m happy to post announcements of events of interest to NoodleFood readers — particularly lectures by good speakers, calls for activism, and so on. So if you’d like me to post an announcement, please do the following:

1. Construct a clear, simple, and brief text announcement that I can easily quote in a blog post. Include all the essential information. Links and italics should be HTML-ified, like this: text in italics and link text. Please don’t use any other HTML. Check your spelling and grammar.
2. Email me that announcement at least 24 hours before the event or deadline. I prefer a few days of lead time, however. If time is too short, you can post your announcement in the latest open thread instead.

Yes, that’s a bit fussy of me, but hey, it’s your announcement. So please make it easy for me to help you promote your event.
