Hi Arielle, we increased the field to 4 characters. Thanks and happy reading!

Erin

Thanks to those of you who have spread the word and recruited new readers!

Many of you asked for more time...So we have extended the Better Together Reader Challenge until Monday, July 13th. Please keep recruiting more people to #Pages4Progress so you AND your friends can be entered to win a $50 Amazon gift card!

So far nearly 600 readers and over 300,000 pages logged to date! With your help, we can easily reach our goal of 3 million pages by International Literacy Day on September 8th.

It's easy! Just log your pages and share #Pages4Progress with your friends: http://pages4progress.worlded.org/

Get rewarded for spreading the word. For every new reader your recruit, we'll add your name into the drawing to increase your chances of winning! Learn more:

Thank you, and please keep reading and sharing!

Hmm, I am not sure why the hashtag would only appear some of the time. As long as the post is public and includes the tag #pages4progress, it should display on the feed. Let me take a look at the Twitter feed to see if there is something wrong. Thanks Shira!

What do I do?"

Hi Arielle, thanks so much for reading! What book were you reading, and what did you think of it? I'm always looking for new book recommendations!

We have a limit set for 3 characters to try to prevent errors or false entries, and to encourage folks to keep logging their pages as they read. Jim's suggestion of logging 500 pages twice sounds like the best solution for now.

But we're happy to make changes! Readers, would you prefer for us to increase the number of pages you are allowed to enter at one time on the pages4progress.worlded.org website?

Thanks again! --Erin

Awesome!!! Every page counts so please don't forget to log your pages: http://pages4progress.worlded.org/log...

Hi Shira, I heard back from Goodreads about your awesome suggestion for automatically adding in hastags to your reading updates. Here's the response:

"Unfortunately, there isn't currently a way to automate adding hashtags to your status updates--sorry about that. Right now the function is pretty basic. But it's a great suggestion! We'll definitely consider adding support for that as we continue to improve our Twitter integration with the site.

Members will need to add the tag to their status updates manually for now. Be sure to remind Group members so they don't forget to add the tag to their reading progress updates."

Sorry to not have better news to report right now. But, it sounds like Goodreads might be able to add that function in the future. In the meantime, please keep adding #Pages4Progress to your reading updates -- you are inspiring new readers to join the campaign with every Tweet!

Thanks,

Erin

Hi ShiraDest,

Great question! I will try to find out if that is possible. In the meantime, I think the only way to include #Pages4Progress in your updates is if you add in the hashtag manually. Sorry for the inconvenience! I will let you know what I find out from Goodreads.

Best,

Erin
