Be sure and let your peeps know where to find you.
I would like to welcome you if you are new to the Moose. Feel free to walk around and check out your new digs. Feel free to comment at any time or continue lurking as you will(I see you out there). Kysen has left us all a Welcome Mat Part Duex to help us get around easier.
JanFab has written out some instructions to help.
The big stuff:
– Comments do not Auto-refresh. Click the refresh/reload on your tab to see new ones.
– To check for replies to your comments, click the “My Comments” link in the right-hand column (or go to “My Moose”). Comments will be listed and a link to Recent Replies will be shown. (Note: Tending comments builds community)
– Ratings: Fierce means Thumbs Up, Fail means Thumbs Down, Meh means one of three things: I am unFailing you but I can’t Fierce you, I am unFiercing after a mistaken Fierce, or Meh. Just Meh.
I would like to add a couple of things to this list:
Only hit post once for comments. When a diary gets longer,it takes a bit to reload. During the time it’s reloading, I find myself wanting to hit post again to make sure my comment is there. Hitting the comment button twice puts the comment out there twice.
When creating a new diary, remember to hit the draft button while you are working on it. Hit the public button when you want to publish it.
The most important rule around here is
Be kind to each other… or else.
In other words, if you don’t want it said to you, then don’t say it to someone else. Respect is an important thing. If you feel the need to not respect, then step away and take a breath. Political debate can be both spirited and respectful.
For those of you lurking and being shy, no reason to be nervous. Drop us a comment and start making your Moose Tracks. No time like the present.
