About This Newsletter

*Reading* Welcome to the Noticing Newbies Newsletter! *Reading*


Our goal is to showcase some of our newest Writing.Com Authors and their items. From poetry and stories to creative polls and interactives, we'll bring you a wide variety of items to enjoy. We will also feature "how to" advice and items that will help to jump start the creation process on Writing.com

We hope all members of the site will take the time to read, rate, review and welcome our new authors. By introducing ourselves, reviewing items and reaching out, we will not only make them feel at home within our community, we just might make new friends!

*Star* Images *Star*


I'm sure, even if you've only been at Writing.com for a very short time, that there are images around the site, used in various ways. There are cNotes, personal photographs of members, friends, family and pets.

Some other common uses are:

         *Bullet* Signatures Used on emails, forum posts, journals, etc.

         *Bullet* Photo prompts in contests

         *Bullet* Headings and/or illustrations for static items, forums, folders, or just about anything really.

These images are for use by Upgraded + members.

You may have also seen animated images, like the delightful Cubby Author Icon uses in her issues of the Noticing Newbies Newsletter. Such as:

** Image ID #1020167 Unavailable **


These types of images are only usable by Premium + members.

Images are linked by using the image tag ~ {image:1020167}


But what I really want to mention today are the types of images that everyone on the site can use.

*Star* WritingML code *Star*


WritingML code provides us with lots of ability to personalise email messages, forums posts, bio blocks, review formats, static items and more.

Share your emotion:
         *Laugh* *Sick* *Angry*

Decorate a folder introduction:
         *Kiss**Kiss**Kiss* Romancing my Readers *Kiss**Kiss**Kiss*

Create a personalised signature for emails, forums, etc:
         *Balloon5*PUDITAT *Balloon5*

Add fun to a birthday or congratulatory post in a forum or email?
          *Balloon4*s in 6 different colours
          *Flower3*s in 6 different colours
          There's also *Star*s, *Snow1*s, directions *Right*, and *Dollar*s.

For reviewing, writing and related things there are images such as *Cut*, *Paste*, and more.

That's just a sample of what is availble.

For a complete listing of the 'emoticons' available and the code to make them happen, go to:
Author Tools drop-down menu on the left-hand side of the screen}
WritingML Help - click on this option from the list
Using Emoticons - then click on this option.

Have fun decorating your presence here at Writing.com. Develop your own style, and be as creative visually as you are with your writing, reviews and other site communications.

Tip~ Save the signature and review formatting you like to use, plus any other common WritingML code you utilise in the pages of your "My Notepad", accessed through the Member Tools drop down menu. *Wink*

Thanks for reading.

Great points about being involved in groups. I think your ideas are right on target. I find it tough to be in a group when there is nothing happening!
Meg: Writes Daily in 2006 Author Icon

         Thank you for sharing your viewpoint. Groups are about communicatnig. They don't work very well if no one, or only a few, actively participate.

This is great advice for anyone, Newbie and "Oldie" alike. Thanks for a great read!
