Do We Need a Welcome Sticky?

[lemonliz]

The last time we moved, we recreated the welcome sticky thread and wrote a blog with some FAQ, etc. 

The blog, in case anyone hasn't seen it, is gbcb3tif.wordpress.com [daisy818 here it is!] 

I can link that blog over here, after reshaping and retooling it a bit. Lots of the info on the blog doesn't apply to board culture anymore. And I think when we created the blog, it was really a response to the culture from TB and it wasn't even pertinent to what TCF had become over time (things like the 100000 warnings I put in the blog about not posting a drive-by BFP or asking and humble bragging about pregnancy symptoms. I can remember only vaguely two or three times that someone did that on TCF but it was almost daily on TB. It's stuff like that, YKWIM? Different board culture).

It also occurred to me that we might not even need the blog. I don't have any idea how many people read it or got some use out of it. 

I can also put up a welcome sticky here with some bullet points about what we do and don't do in this community. But I just wanted to get an idea of what YOU guys want to do. This is your site.

What are the things that are important to you? Are warnings important? How specific would you like to get about what constitutes proper membership conduct here on the IF board?

I read the blog before I introed on 3T. I had joined the IF check in on GKU while going through testing, but hadn't felt ready to come over here until my diagnosis. The blog helped me get a feel for this board. So, it's probably worth retooling and posting here since it could help others when they're in that position.

**grad warning**

Hope tis okay I chime in! I too read the full blog befor intro-ing on 3T after lurking for a good while. I could have intro-ed a lot sooner then I did but I somehow didn't feel quite ready until after recieving a diagnosis. Then suddenly felt in real need of support and a place to just be myself. So glad I found y'all cause I wouldn't be where I'm at now if it hadn't been for the support and the knowledge and everything you ladies provided over the past 2 years. (ditto for the ladies over at CAL/TTCAL btw!) ♥♥

So anyway, my 2 cents. A welcome sticky with the basics is ALWAYS a good idea imho, but I do think that keeping the blog (retooled or not) is a nice idea as well. There's info on there I referred to lateron in my journeys as well and I think I'd have missed it hadn't it been there.

Also, if you need some help with setting up/reformatting/rewriting the blog, feel free to reach out, perhaps I can help.

A welcome sticky is not a bad idea... Maybe with some useful tips as well. I was trying to find how to do a spoiler... Any help on that guys? I looked through some of the threads and can't seem to find the directions.

Thanks!
