*Flower4*Quiz! Quiz!! Quiz!!!*Flower4*



         POP QUIZ TIME!!

         Remember those good ol' days? When hearing the teacher utter those words in class sent us groaning or sometimes wishing we were anywhere but in class at the time. I had a fear of those two words - Pop Quiz - and for good reason. I always associated quizzes with sudden tests thrust upon us by teachers who wished us to fail. Quizzes were usually make or break situations and the very foundation of your education was based on how well you passed! In fact, if you failed a quiz, it meant you weren't paying much attention in class. Hmmm...

         Let's erase those bleak memories and focus on the fun side of quizzes, shall we? *Bigsmile* Since its inception on WDC last year, quizzes are seen as a fun way to test your skills on all sorts of subjects and events. Ranging from your knowledge on the English language, to your sports skills, your movie and television trivia, your ability to know the difference between fantasy and reality, quizzes are a great way to task your brain as well as relax and have fun.

         There was a great influx of fun quizzes after the option was given to members, but it seems like there's been a slow decline of their creation. You do not have to create something elaborate or grandiose. You do not need to have the 100 questions or more, as long as you can create a quiz that will have members curious and interested to learn more, then you're all set. You don't even have to make a 'serious' quiz per se. Saw something funny? Make a quiz about funny moments, comedians, or jokes. Love cars? Then by all means test your readers with their knowledge of automobiles. And what about a quiz about the Oscars? We're still recovering from the last one, so it would be a great idea to make a quiz about Oscar history/trivia.

         To get started on quiz creations, here is a great link to help out:
