Birthday Bash - Are you ready?
The time is coming. The awesome site 16th birthday celebration! September first, the balloons drop and the cake is cut. Every year, terrific things happen birthday week; like super fun contests and activities. Are you ready?
This month you'll be getting emails that will direct you to Party Central, a page which will list all the great things you can do around the site. Not only can you participate in the fun, you can earn some hefty gift points along the way. Who doesn't love gift points? There's a reviewing reward going on during the celebration, so sharpen your editor pencil and do some reviews! No only are the review rewards astronomical, but last year there was a site activity that rewarded reviewers a nice pile of gift points. Keep your eyes peeled for that announcement.
You can also try the little scrolling message games and earn some gift points too. Just click the Messenger  icon similar to this in the left column of the page and say hello to your fellow members. Our instant message system is another way to network with your fellow members. Give it a try!
So be on the lookout in your email for upcoming announcements and be sure to log in every day to see the terrific surprises the site has in store. And as always, Write On! (And Review On!, too.)
