As you all know, Open Salon never sleeps. Ever since we launched the site, many of you have been posting, commenting and rating 24 hours a day, seven days a week -- and we're thrilled. But as many of you have surely noticed, there are some times of the week when the editors aren't around to give your work the attention (with Editor's Picks, and cover placement) we'd like to give it -- most notably, on weekends.

I wanted to make it official: While we check in on the site on Saturdays and Sundays (and do our best to keep track of spammers), we can't guarantee that we'll be able to promote your work as much as we'd like to on those days. If you're planning on publishing a blockbuster post, and you want us to see and promote it (with an EP, an Open Salon cover spot, or space on Salon itself), you may want to save it for Monday through Friday (until about 5 p.m., EST) when we'll do our best to give it the love it deserves.
