Tip of the Day

The Smart Way to Post a Video: To add a video from Youtube, Google, TED talks, etc. click "Videos", then "Add Videos", then find where it says "...from YouTube or Google" and click "Add Video" under that. You will get a box into which you can paste the embed code that most of these sites provide (click here to see where to find that you YouTube as an example).

Previous Tips:

Profile Photo — hip to be square: If the profile photo you submit isn't square, it's turned into one. Thus rectangular images get cut off, either top and bottom, or the sides, depending on orientation. Rather than lose part of your head, why not "square off" your photo before submitting it?

Making a Link: If you want to make a hyperlink in your comment or blog entre, type something like "click here" or the URL (if short), then highlight those words and click on the little link icon at the top of the text box (see pic) — it's supposed to look like a little three-link chain on its side. This will bring up a dialog box inviting you to paste the URL into it.

Blogs vs Forums: The front page of The Hub features the 5 most recent user blog entries and forum discussions. However blog entries (and associated discussion) live in the "My Blog" section of the person who posted them, whereas forums live in the "Forum" section.
