Time to go into all out Pimp Mode.
That does not mean it’s time to don long fur coats. Even if long coats look good on me (and boy do they).
Some new categories have been added to Shared Creation Projects and in alphabetic order they are
Bebo
Flickr
Myspace
Tabblo
YouTube
It basically means this - create a post about your area in any of these services and click on the appropriate category. Your post will be listed on the main page of Shared Creation Projects for a while, it’ll also be indexed in our category menu and placed in the search engines. The idea is that by having links and search engine listings that lead back into your profiles more people will be able to find their way to you and your work.. You can create one post with lots of links and categories or lots of smaller lists.

A couple of users have noted problems with logging into Shared Creation. I’ve traced this down to a ‘feature’ in our platform that insists upon case sensitive usernames and passwords. This is a little bit non standard and seems to be the cause of the problem.
I am looking into this.
In the meantime my apologies if you have any problems, and please don’t hesitate to let me know - I will do all I can to help you out.
Recently I’ve received a few words of confusion from potential posters to Shared Creation wondering just how to add entries. I’ve listened to these and realised that the confusion comes from peoples expectations. Some readers are expecting a forum rather than a publication system. So I thought it best to comment and give some help on what Shared Creation is and open a discussion on the subject.
To create your own entries to must use the Write tab on your account dashboard when your first log in. This gives you a handy word processor to create your entry with. To place your messages on the site you have to then hit publish when you are ready.
This is because Shared Creation uses Blog technology. In fact our underlying engine is WordPress. One of the most respected platforms available for delivering news , articles and comments.
The essence of Shared Creation is this; it is a massively multiple publication. Large number of people can all contribute, share, exchange and comment on articles all together and all in one place.
This is done to enable ideas to be viewed and shared more easily. We also do this to push your entries as far as possible. Shared Creation is picked up by several aggregation and search web sites. We are aiming to reach more. By creating something with a lot of authors we can carry more information more frequently. In other words getting more publicity for everyone using Shared Creation. Since Shared Creation is all about easily networking information this is a very good thing.
This is part of the action behind the ‘Collaboration Engine’. Lots of people all doing the simple of act of talking about themselves and their projects that communally helps everyone using Shared Creation. So the more your write, the better chance everyone on Shared Creation has of being noticed.
If that doesn’t help - let know why -and I’ll try and help out.
A tip on shameless self publicity; that’s really easy to do.
Look at the bottom of any entry in Shared Creation Projects. You will find a line of icons. These hook into the Web’s premier social networking sites. Once you’ve posted your idea, project or update; use these to advertise your entry across literally millions of Internet users. This way not only do you communicate directly to the Shared Creation audience, but to a vast army of potential readers. Shared Creation has been designed with this in mind so that we can really help you achieve your goals It’s easy to do and can pay huge dividends.
