Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What can I post on this website?
A: You can post anything you want as long as it doesn't contain any profanity, pornography, or anything else that would make it inappropriate for a family audience. Our staff reserves the right to remove anything deemed inappropriate.
Q: How do others see what I've posted?
A: There are a few ways to tell the world about your posts. After you post an item, it lives on the front page of the site until it is bumped off by new posts. The easiest way for people to see all your posts is to send them to your page. You can get to your page, by clicking on the "GO TO YOUR PAGE" link in the upper right hand of the site. All your story posts, blogs and photo galleries are easily accessible on this page.
Q: How do I upload photos.
A: Photos must be in JPEG format. The names must end in .jpg and be no more than 300 pixels wide. If you don't have an image editing program, check out these links for free or low cost programs: Gimp, (Mac OS X, Windows and more); and Graphic Converter, (Mac OS X). If you're looking for something a bit more polished try Adobe PhotoShop Elements (Mac OS X and Windows) or the full-fledged version of Photoshop.
