Greetings Members, We've added two new features for Groups and have opened them for testing by group leaders across the site: Group Scoring and Group Calendar. Both features are available for enabling within the "Section 5: Item Type Specific Settings" for any Group Item. Group Scoring is a separate "point" system for the member within any given group. Use of the scoring system and what, if any, benefit there is to having a higher score than someone else is completely up to the group leader and/or the group as a whole. Group Member scores can be changed within the "Manage Members" area. A public "Scoreboard" will be available for viewing. All changes to group scores are logged and available from the Group Scoreboard. Group calendars provide a means to keep track of dates and events. Within this setting, group owners can determine who can view the calendar and who can add new events to the group's calendar. Once activated, the calendar will be found in the left hand column of the Group's page. If you have any questions about or problems with either system, please drop a line and let us know in "Technical Support Forum" ![]() Thanks and enjoy, ~~SM |

Since joining, I've just had a ball! I chat every day on this site, I read and review and I write Poems happy and sad, Some good and some bad, And kind friends tell me if they're alright. I don't know just where I would be, If it were not for WDC. You make spirits rise, From low up to highs, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you from Meg - me! Meg ![]() ![]() In Bucyrus, there dwelt a young bard who banged on her keyboard quite hard. She pummeled all day, creating, she'd say, a masterpiece; though it was marred: Although it was brilliant in plot, the characters, frankly, were not. The publisher said, "This will sell when you're dead! Come back when there's depth in the lot." So, the diligent bard from Bucyrus, to acquire more gold than King Midas, pounded more words, had to stop! 'Twas absurd: She'd developed acute tendonitis.

Then decide which get used And divide those refused, Taking care that each verb is direct. When reviewers declare they're amused, Be aware that no fault is excused. Sharp-eyed writers inspect, Implied errors detect, And discern where ill tales get confused. Yet unsatisfied, rewrite, correct, Provide ways for loose ends to connect Till description is fused To thrill readers enthused By the flair of your perfect effect. northernwrites ![]() There once was a site they called Writing, Where authors like birds were alighting.
