Created comprehensive social media setup guide for Meg & Holly with: - Step-by-step signup instructions for 8 platforms (Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, Reddit, BlueSky) - Webmail access info (webmail.firefrostgaming.com) - Credentials (socials@firefrostgaming.com / Firefrost1234!) - Management tools setup (Buffer, Canva Pro, Linktree) - Fire/Frost branded PDF version for easy distribution Created new docs/social-media/ directory to consolidate all social media documentation: - account-setup-guide.md/.pdf (NEW - March 2026) - emissary-handbook.md (copied from planning/) - content-calendar.md (copied from planning/) - README.md (directory guide and organization) Also added copies to docs/planning/ for cross-reference. This unblocks Meg & Holly to set up all social accounts immediately. Original planning docs remain in place for backwards compatibility. Related to soft launch prep - social media presence is critical for March 2026 launch.
