Thanks Elsa <img src="/my-plugins/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/icon_biggrin.gif" />   I also think I could dig into the html and clean it up a bit more - which I'll do on the next iteration.  I"ve got a lot of work this weekend, so it will have to wait until after that.

Ideas on what else you might want to incorporate: - "What is all this talk of shiny chickens?"  - Something on how to contribute to the site/community: posting, tipping, Amazon link, etc. - "Who's who on the site?"  Explaining Elsa, HQ, The Mechanic, Annalisa, Satori, Nota. - Remember that thread where everyone was listing blog archive favorites?  Might be nice to have that here as well.     Thanks for doing this!  Elsa on "Do we have a FAQ area?" http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/do-we-have-a-faq-area#post-58885 Sat, 17 Apr 2010 05:40:34 +0000 Elsa 58885@http://boards.elsaelsa.com/ Great!!

I'll take a closer look over the weekend and see if we can't get the FAQ somewhere prominent. :-) Shannon on "Do we have a FAQ area?" http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/do-we-have-a-faq-area#post-58870 Sat, 17 Apr 2010 00:52:00 +0000 Shannon 58870@http://boards.elsaelsa.com/ Here's a start to it -

post it twice in the same post, and it should bump down far enough or 2 - put some characters in the post with several blank lines between them until you get down past the sidebar (like in this thread:   <a href="http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/mystery-chart-2" rel="nofollow">http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/mystery-chart-2</a> - shiny chickens optional) <ul> <li>Follow threads:</li> </ul> At the top of a thread there's a link that says Add This Topic To Your Favorites <img src="http://imgur.com/JZqwb.png" alt="Like this" /> Then if you go to your profile, you will see a tab that says Favorites.  (Your wall is here, and you can change your avatar from the same area.)  If you're a bit more tech savvy, it also gives you the option to subscribe to your favorites in an RSS feed. <img src="http://imgur.com/IkwGa.png" />   Tips for Posting Use the search bar - up at the top right corner is a search bar that searches both the boards and the blog.  Oftentimes you can find things that have already been posted or discussed that might get you started. Examples of things to search: houses (second house, fifth house, etc), planets, signs, transits Jump right in - this is a pretty friendly community; if you see something that catches your attention, by all means jump into the discussion.  We do get into some lively debates, but all views and interests are encouraged as long as you play by the rules. The Rules - Please be courteous and stay on topic.  <a href="http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/rules-of-the-road-1" rel="nofollow">http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/rules-of-the-road-1</a>     Shannon on "Do we have a FAQ area?" http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/do-we-have-a-faq-area#post-57586 Thu, 15 Apr 2010 12:44:07 +0000 Shannon 57586@http://boards.elsaelsa.com/ OK I shall assemble.  Give me a day or two, though - I'm up to my ass in alligators right now.   And yes, Nutsy, that's what I was thinking - all the great threads that have been posted already on how to do that stuff, plus some of the common questions that aren't already posted.   I shall add some <img src="/my-plugins/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/shiny-chicken.gif" /> to the proceedings, but Merc is going retrograde in Taurus so it should be a comfortable and shiny trip. nutsymaclewis on "Do we have a FAQ area?" http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/do-we-have-a-faq-area#post-57537 Thu, 15 Apr 2010 08:44:30 +0000 nutsymaclewis 57537@http://boards.elsaelsa.com/ Yes, and people can go to the FAQ to learn how to post images and charts, maybe?
