NC for Hire

Hi all,

Sometimes the simplest of things can escape us NCs. It recently dawned on me that I didn't have a page detailing exactly why people should sign up. This was partly because i was letting the site evolve to a point where I could determine myself what the actual benefits were.

Now i'm confident that I know what the value of the site is, I have put a WHY USE? page together.

You can see it in action here (it's a sub-tab of my About section) and the template for a page is attached.

  • As usual this looks great and contains good information SweetPotato. Well done. I hope you don't mind me asking, but I was wondering how you created the grey box under your videos containing the description. It looks a lot better than the plain white.

      Hey Michael,

      /* VIDEO AREA*/
      div.xg_module_body div.vid_container div.xg_user_generated p.description{
      border-style:solid;
      border-width:1px;
      border-color:#dfdfdf;
      -moz-border-radius:2px;
      -webkit-border-radius:2px;
      border-radius:2px;
      margin-bottom:20px;
      padding:5px;
      background:#eeeeee;
      }

      div.xg_module_body div.vid_container div.right-panel{
      float: left!important;
      margin-bottom:10px;
      margin-top:10px;
      width:500px;
      }

      /* VIDEO AREA END*/
      • SweetPotato,

        This worked very nicely. Thank you! Do you think something similar could be added below individual photos as well?  Or would that not work because of the different sizes of the photos.

          as you say, I think it would look too inconsistent.

  • This is great, Sweet Potato.  We have an About Us page but it is nowhere near as informative - or as lovely to look at  - as this. Like you, I've found benefits have evolved/emerged with the network and I probably need to revisit this whole area. Thanks for sharing - am I allowed to nick the template?!  

  • I dont have one. Butt know i gonna make one. Nice
  • This is something I have went through myself and has worked great. Since I'm an entertainment social network whose heart is my radio show it has helped me tremendously. Most people on the site are artists or models. In my networking circles I give people a short synopsis of why they should join my network and what is beneficial to them. I have a great success network of this for the past 3 months.

  • Sweet I will use this..

Some interesting articles related to community management, digital marketing etc. could be found in our digest. Don't hesitate to leave a feedback so we would know that we should continue :-)
