Little Things and Special Treats

Hello, fellow Bravenetters! Smiley from millan.net  As stated in yesterday's post, it's often the little things that Bravenet staff do for us that make the biggest difference.  But it's also the little things they do for us that go unnoticed - things such as enhancing the image verification box.

Not that long ago, the image verification box was very small. For those of you who use this particular tool - either on your own journal, or when posting at someone else's journal - you may recall that it was often difficult to see the combinations that had to be entered.

Well, Bravenet staff recognized that, and they did something about it.  They made the whole thing bigger:




If you look closely, you will see that not only are the combinations on the left larger, but the white box where you enter them is larger, too.  Now, isn't that awesome?  Smiley from millan.net



Trick or Treat

Halloween is rapidly approaching, and for those of you who have been here for a few years, you'll know about the Porch Light project that was started here a couple of years ago.  You put a "porch light" graphic on your journal page; this lets people know you're participating in the Halloween fun.  Then, you go around and visit other journals and leave them a little Halloween treat in a comment, and they do the same for you.  At the end of Halloween night, you have a bunch of cyber treats and so does everyone else.  

This year, from October 24 right through to Halloween night (Oct. 31), the Bravenet Community Blog will be taking part in this fun project. Not only will you be visited and given a treat, but you might even get something extra: a special Halloween Blog of the Year Award, direct from the Bravenet Community Blog.  Only one journal will receive this award, so please - make it difficult to decide who wins it!  Smiley from millan.net

More details about this will be coming, so please stay tuned.  The best way to do that is to look for the box above the tagboard, enter your email, and then click "Subscribe to Journal." You will receive a confirmation email, so please be sure to click the link you're given so that you get immediate notification each time a post is made here.

That's it for now, Bravenetters.  Have a great day, and thanks for visiting!

It was both of us that started that. Don't worry. We worked on that together. I am trying to remember how we did it though.

Oh great - thanks so much, Amanda. I didn't want to name anyone in case I was wrong. Please do get back to me when you remember how it was done; it would be great to get that going again this year.

I look through the archives or you could if you want. But We had some sort of image/gif of a house with blinking light that we had every one take and put in their journal header. We also had people respond to the journal who wanted to participate. then we could have some sort of list to go by. And everyone put up a post just before halloween called a GOODY BAG post. That is the post we all would put our fun stuff in for everyone. I Hope this helps!
