Well, I searched and nothing really came up. I just thought of an idea that could make it easier for members to be more active. What if Createblog had a guide for new members? For example, if there were guests are newly joined members, there could be a little blob on the side greeting them and holding a sign that says "Allow me to give you a tour around Createblog". When they click on the sign, they can be brought to a page with different screenshots of what they'll be able to do on Createblog. (such as where the forums are, where to post what, how they can socialize by joining clubs, etc.) This can encourage them to be more active by maybe also showing them the different subforums of Createblog and saying: if you have any ideas to improve cB, post here.
It was just an idea...what do you guys think? |

I think that is an amazing idea. It would help people alot, even those who have already been here, but still don't know their way around.

That'd be awesome! I don't know if we can have a little pop-up person or blob, but at least a thread dedicated to the How-To's around here.
Er wait...did you mean a thread in the first place? Okay, yeah, before I confuse myself more, I love this idea.

I thought it would be cute if there could be a little blob on the side of the page, but if that's too much, then a simple decorated thread showing the different sections of Createblog would do too!

I love this idea!
 It would really help out too, in my opinion. If you need an additional person with codding experience as well, I could help out too.

Very nice idea, Jane.
I'm sure it'll help a lot of new people find their way around createBlog.  I would really like this idea to actually come into actions. It's a very neat idea. Maybe we should hear from a Admin's perspective? Other than that, great idea.

Jane, this is such a cute idea. :) You could always incorporate some of what Anna did with the FAQs.

I would like this because it accomplishes pretty much what those two threads above were made for and more, except one doesn't have to go looking for it at all.

OH THAT ME SO LONG TO UNDERSTAND.
 Seriously, I was all confused. But it looks adorable! For a rough draft, it looks good. (: |

Have you asked the admins if the little guy in the corner will be possible? I don't think I've ever seen one on a website, just on programs like Microsoft Word.

Nope, I haven't. I should PM them about it. Perhaps we can get something from the "Merlin popup" thing.
