Okay this soapbox sadly, is going to point fingers so people can learn from this. I don't like having to point fingers but it seems no one gets the message across if it isn't done.

What is bulk posting? It's when you post multiple things all at the same time. So when you do that the keywords you give are going to be the same for every single thing you post.

Why do people bulk post? Well the excuse used can be "I want to share great content with others" but really it turns more into a quantity over quality.

Why is this harming keywords? When people bulk post they only put a general amount of keywords in that can sum up all icons but not put specifics to them.

Now onto showing you an example of how this is. This is only one example, from one spot, from one user. It happens on pretty much ALL spots though and from different users.

This whole spot in general I would say is a breeding ground of misused keywords (or none at all) and bulk posting.

Goodbye, Toby

keywords: the office, season 4, episode 14, icon

keywords you should use though in an image like this is:
who's in it? Dwight and Mose
additional things in it? Raccoon
episode name? Goodbye, Toby

Saying who is in the icon in your keywords is one of the most important things you could do. People don't just go and look for icons of season 4, they want to find a specific character they like easily.

Please remember this was not to attack anyone, it was to present a clear example of what should be done and the best way I can do that is through something that has happened.
This is merely an addition to Papa's fantastic soapbox article on link (a must-read) but some users have still been asking about editing a pick that they've made after they have published it. Here's a very basic how-to.


1. How the Pick's Creator can edit the pick:
If you want to add additonal choices to your options or images to them, all you need to do is look for and click on the pencil icon on the top of your pick. This will take you back to the pick creation page where you can freely add new options and image to your heart's desire.



2. How Voters can edit the pick:
If the creator allowed...

G'day awesome Fanpoppers!
I think this piece is really too short to be considered a proper article but I just wanted to give a *high five* to the newly introduced feature, Fanpop's Instant Messaging.
I became aware of this new feature less than 24 hours ago, I'm sure by now most of you guys also have it.
At first, I thought this was just a way of letting users know which other users were online at the same time. But no,it is far more awesome.
It's instant messaging between you and your Fanpop friends.
I love this already so much. I think I've spoken to about 30 or so different users/friends in...

Ways to help improve our fanpopping skills
Ways to help improve our fanpopping skills
Lately there's been a lot said and written in the way of articles,picks,etc about the so-called deterioration of the Fanpop site. This is not another heavy-handed article about user conduct or inappropriate behaviour. I do not happen to believe that flogging the same issues over and over again actually benefits the site or the fanpoppers. So all I've done is put together, in a light-hearted way, what I refer to as the '10 commandments' of Fanpop. Unlike the image, these commandments (tips) are not set in stone,lol, but I think they can be useful in helping one be a better Fanpopper.

50% of fanpoppers that took my pick 'Do you like the black background of fanpops homepage?' picked no.

I'm one of the fanpoppers that picked yes and i'll explain why.

The old background was okay, but its main colors were blue and green; two colors that don't go together. But the black background doesn't have any colors that do not match.

The black background is easier on the eye, more stylish and makes you feel more relaxed. The old background seems more tacky.

I'm sure that homepage will change back to its old blue and green theme as fanpoppers think the black background is 'against the spirit...

Yeah, you're like "OH MA GAWD FANPOP IS ON DA WIKI!!!!!! MUST EDIT!!!!"
Please. NO. Don't. First off, this exact same article has been deleted numerous times and this one may be short lived as well if you don't give NOTABLE info to it. Writing things like "LATINLOVER IS DA HOTTEST FANPOPPER" will not get us far. Here are some tips to keeping the article on Wikipedia for good this time:

-Make the article look authentic. Not being a Wikipedia wizz myself I had no idea how to add tables and the like to the article. If you're experienced at Wiki-ing it would be obliged very much if you give the...

#1. How long have you been on Fanpop?

Technically almost six years if you're counting my REALLY old profile that I forgot the password to that I made in April of 2011, but as far as this account goes, I've been here for almost 5 years, as I made this profile in March of 2012.

Also, that other profile is my only other one. I probably would've kept it had I not forgotten how to sign in with it. XD

#2. Which club are you the most active on?

Probably the Random club. I've always been active in general there, writing articles, posting on the wall every now...

Recently I just discovered what the Wiki feature was for. And upon searching, most seem to not know what its purpose is and therefore don't care about it. Never fear, I'm here. It's been approximately never since I wrote an informative article so you are all in for quite the treat!

"It's a glorified article."
I've seen several comments that Wikis are a "glorified article", insinuating that what you can and would put in a Wiki, you can and would put in an article. That is simply not true. See below for example.



Above is what you can do with an article. That is noticeably missing when you...

The little website that can and still is.
The little website that can and still is.
With Fanpop at it's definite high with the (VERY) recent creation of it's own Wikipedia article and it's change from beta to complete, I have decided that it is time to write about my own opinion of the site. Please read through and I hope you will all appreciate my review.
--
I'm not going to say that there's only one word to describe Fanpop. Because it's a website that dedicates itself to all types of things and people that can differentiate in many ways. And that's part of the greatness of it all. No matter who you are and what you love, it's impossible to not be able to talk about things...
