[note: when I first made this article "clubs" were called "spots" so just imagine anything that says "spot" actually says "club" ;)]

Well it seems like people are always asking how so here is a step by step guide on how to with images, yay! (there is a little thing in the FAQ but people seem to relate to images better)

Step 1: Make sure you are on the Fanpop main page

Step 2: Search for the spot first so there are no duplicates (if not then go back to the main page)

Step 3: Scroll down till you see this image and click "create new spot"

Step 4: Type in the name of the spot you are creating (use capitals when needed, looks neater)

Step 5: Put in a description (not always easy, just something little)

Step 6: Choose the correct category/channel that it should go in

Step 7: Put in keywords. These help to find your spot so put in the necessary ones







Adding an icon and banner to your spot
Step 1: Go to your spot and click "edit spot". Scroll down the page and you will see two spots to upload your banner and spot icon






Creating an icon easily
Step 1: Find an image, I prefer to make it the name of the movie or band but just an image of a character in it works too

Step 2: Select the area you want and make sure it's 100x100 pixels

This is what it'll look like

If you want something resized and do not have an image program on your computer there are always a lot of people that will help you (I personally will always help anyone)


Creating an easy banner
This is something easy that a monkey could probably do :) lol

Step 1: Find an image, any image that could fit in the space of 800x100 (never resize bigger, that makes it ugly)

Step 2: Add a coloured bar (the one going vertical) to break up the image and other bit. Then fill in the rest of the space with a lighter colour, add some text of the spot and ta-da! you have a basic banner :)

There, you now have a spot with an icon and a banner :) Hopefully that'll help some people.

♥♥I think the way your profile is set up is somewhat important, if you have a neat an interesting profile more people may want to fan you. So profile's are important.! Now what I want to show you is how you can make your profile look a tad more interesting. This is my first tutorial so be kind, sit back, relax, and enjoy!♥♥

#1 Name: There are a bunch of different ways you can write your name in, now what I did here is put a couple of symbols before and after my name and for the letters of my name I did circles around them. The symbols come from link

Here is my other proposal for fanpop.com.
What do you think about it?



You can go to a users profile and check their activity there. But i don't believe it's just me who think it's overbearing to go to activity and then rate or whatever you'll do.
I think it would be a "search-fan-pane" at every spot where you can search for a fan and see everything that the fan has post at the spot your on.
Like this:
1. Go to a spot
2. Search for the user you want to
3. Then you can pick between icons, photos, fanart, videos, articles ect. (It's like when you "Searh Fanpop")
4. when you press at the category you wanna...

I found a list of science fiction fan words that I thought some of you guys out there in the Fanpop domain would enjoy (I've tried to define them in relation to Fanpop):



Actifan : A fan who's active in fandom (by Writing soapbox articles, starting forums etc.)

BNF : a Big Name Fan

Croggle : To shock or Astound (If someone croggles you, you are croggled or becroggled)

Egoboo : An ego boost (the sort caused by finding your article featured or someone new being a fan of you)

Egoscan : To skim through an article (publication) looking for your name mentioned (like googling yourself)

Faan : A Fan who's...

Um, ok so maybe these features aren't THAT secret...
Um, ok so maybe these features aren't THAT secret...
There are a lot of features on Fanpop. Some are well known and others are less well known (there are also a ton of others we *want* to do, but that's for another conversation). Today I thought I would highlight a few of the less-well-known features for you.

Why? Because, dammit, we spent time on these features! Sure picks and images might be sexier, but these are the runts of the proverbial Fanpop-litter and they need some time in the spotlight too.

(side note: if you already know about these, then consider yourself a very knowledgeable Fanpopper. But if you don't...well, here's hoping you...
