The bigbook
Businesses of kosaks and their direct friends/family (requestor kosak’s name in the listing) all are welcome in the Kos Katalogue! Contact Kat admin’r Avilyn or the Katalog group to add/update an entry, stating:
■ shop/business name;
■ the link/URL in full with a backslash before the first character — or the email addy or, as last resort, your kosmail URL in full with backslash (kosmail is often not reliable);
■ department[s]/category[ies] in which to list the shop/business (scroll down to see them all);
■ a one-to-two sentence blurb —or a phrase (e.g., real estate law practice in Chicago — pet-sitter in Virginia — novelist/self-publisher online) unless you feel the business name says it all. If preferring a blurb/phrase, and wanting it to vary by department/category to highlight your range of goods/services, give exact wording for each category/department you request.
When your listing has been added to the bigbook, contact mettle fatigue (click on diary author at the top) to copy it into the corresponding Department[s] in this series.
