The TTGP Newbie Blog.

[Banker]

So jefa and I created and control the Newbie Blog.  Any ideas of what we should do with it?  Take all mention of TB out of it?  Put the link to this forum on it? Change it to only have a link to proboards?  Leave it the way it is?  Tell me your ideas.

[joy]

Proboards link with direct mention that we can answer their question. No mention of TheBump anymore.

I would definitely take out all TB references and refer them here - that way we know that they at least read the blog first! Plus, if you update the blog but not the thread on TTGP, XO may not realize it for at least a few hours...

I love that blog. I still refer to it all the time. I love joy idea of a direct link to here. I would also like a sticky or something over here so I don't have to go over there.

I love this idea! It is like your admission pass-you can only come if you know the secrets the blog holds.

Yes I love that blog and still occasionally reference the HPT accuracy chart, I'd love to see it directed over here

Yes!!! I was about to comment that providing the link in the newbie blog might bring the crazies here, but daisy818 is right - if they find the link it meant they read the blog which is what we've been trying to get people to do anyway!!

The link could be their reward for following directions!!

Thanks Banker and Jefa! You guys are awesome!

[britterrss]

I think it would take TB a WHILE to figure it out. So yes, I vote take TB out of the blog and link them here.

[nuggetrn]

awesome idea!

Instead of saying our name though, you should put things like "I am glad you are joining us here" and welcome here. Then it is not so obvious you are directing people away from the site and it may last much longer!

Not related to TB: but i was looking for a section on Breastfeeding or a TFAS info when I first lurked.

and for the love of pizza, if there isn't a section on how periods change over time, after BC, after CP and Birth and all kinds of other shit - we had a TON of questions like that. If there is a section, it might need some polishing.

I'll contribute more, but I have to do real life work. whomp whomp.

[jefa]

I feel like I can't take much of the credit. Banker did most (all) of the work. I will stand with whatever the group wants to do with it.

Just wanted to say thanks because the newbie blog has been insanely helpful to me!

[traversity]

I am so happy about the update of the newbie blog! It's like winning a golden ticket, or finding an Easter egg!

Yes she does the updates are awesome!

[achromia]

You ladies are da best. The updates look great! I can't even tell you how many times I have referred to the newbie blog in the year I have been lurking-and-then-posting.

[nerdygal]

Thanks for bringing this over here! That helped me so much when I lurked. It's the whole reason I started temping.

[lovegrilledcheese]

Looks great! On the acronyms page it still lists TB. Is that okay to still have on it?

[somethingvague]

This should be stickied
