Tip any network.. Graphical loader interface. Hide your ugly bounce rate.

This code will add a graphical interface to each page load. I wrote this code to close the graphical interface as soon as the page fully loads. So if your page takes one second to load it only shows for one second, but if your page takes 10 seconds…

How To Help Members Overcome Their Fear of Participation

Posted by Crystal on April 30, 2014 at 10:54am in Engaging Your Community

Members need both the motivation to initiate and to overcome their fear of starting a discussion. Their motivation to initiate will be to either learn something (e.g. "Does anyone know how to....?"), to impress others (e.g. "does anyone else think business class travel isn't as great as it used to be?" or to bond with others (e.g. "I'm upset Kelly got fired from the Apprentice").
