Welcome!
Welcome to bignow.zapgun. If you're new here, create a user account and start blogging. Or, if you just want to chatter, try scrawling something on the wall.

After you get settled in, you might start wondering how blogs and stories make it on to the front page. We're a democratic group here, so any valid user can vote on a blog or story, and any story with more than one vote gets posted on the front page.

How do you vote? Easy. Log in, and then click on the view submissions link, which is in your control panel in the upper right hand corner of every page. You should see a number in red next to the view submissions link; that number indicates how many submissions are sitting in the queue. Read 'em, vote on the ones you like (and the ones you don't like), and let the chips fall where they may.

Why the moderation? Well, sometimes blogs are only interesting to the person who's blogging. Which is fine, that's what we're here for. This way, what most people find interesting is easy to get to, while still giving everyone their own voice, and complete freedom to say whatever they want.

Want a quick way to catch up on new conversations throughout the whole site? Just click on view new comments in your control panel.

Eventually this will be complete intro/guide to using the site... but for now, you'll have to settle for exploring on your own. If you get really lost, scrawl a note on the wall and someone will try to help.
