| We've changed things up on the User Grid! Previously, all user stories automatically posted to the main tab of the User Grid. But realizing that not all stories are created equal, we decided to put the focus on the really great ones. That's why we created the Front Page, where you'll find stories by approved writers — those who do a great job of distilling the news into lively and efficient summaries. What you won't find, among other things: copy and pasted stories, one-line "summaries," or spam. It's part of our effort to make the User Grid a smart and snappy destination for our readers. How do you become an approved writer? Our editors will review your first submitted story (after the Front Page's Oct. 26 launch) to see if it's up to our standards (click here to see what we don't allow). If it fits the bill, we'll make you an approved writer, and it and all subsequent stories written by you will automatically post to the Front Page. If your first story isn't approved, don't worry; you'll still have two more chances to become an approved writer, and our editors will offer you a few pointers to help get you there. If after your third story you're still not approved, all of your subsequent stories will post only to the Latest tab of the User Grid, though we may occasionally check on them to see if you're ready for Front Page status. For more details, click here. We also made some improvements to our profile page. Your public profile will now show the stories you've written in addition to the comments you've posted. More changes to come! We hope you like these new features! As always, feedback is welcome on our Facebook page, NBU forum, or by email. Happy Writing! The Newser Team |
