And now you don’t need to live with them forever, at least not when it comes to your Quibblo content. We have added some functionality that lets you edit your content, provided you do so within the alloted time.
After you create content, you will see an orange bar with a countdown and “edit’ link, where you can make changes and fix errors in your content, before it goes out to the world.

The limit to make changes is currently set at 20 minutes, so be sure and check your work quickly! Also be aware that editing your content will reset all responses.
Now your favorite Quibblo.com content can come to you, instead of you going to it! We are happy to announce the first of many Quibblo.com RSS feeds!
What is RSS you ask? Here is a great little explanation of how awesome RSS, or “really simple syndication”, is!
And without further ado, here are two Quibblo RSS feeds. More to come soon…

You may have noticed, that when you go to create content on Quibblo, that there is an option to “List my [content] publicly on Quibblo.com” with a little checkbox that is pre-checked by default.
A neat little feature that you may not know much about, unchecking this box will hide your content from the public directory, allowing you to limit respondents to only people who access the link to your quiz directly.
When might you want to hide your content from the public directory? Here are some instances where privatizing your content is a good idea:
- When you create content that contains personal information that you may only want to share with select friends.
- When you are posting your content in a specific place, and only want the responses to come from a certain group, and not be contaminated by the general public.
Remember, if you leave that box checked, your content will show in the general Quibblo.com directory, and be accessible by any and all Quibblo users.
The reviews are in, and this one is a winner. Bad bad wordplay, we know, but good good review system! Now you can rate your favorite (or least favorite) quizzes with a simple five star rating system, which can be found atop each quiz as shown below.

In the near future we will allow users to sort and search quizzes based on these ratings, so as always, stay tuned!
Take a look at the top navigation on Quibblo.com, and you will notice a new “Random” link. What does it do? Exactly what it says! Click away all day long, and cycle through random quizzes on Quibblo.

Hey everyone, we made some little changes to the site that you may or may not have noticed, but hopefully you will find them to be improvements. Here is what is new and enhanced as of today:
- Shortened SignUp Form, so now you can become a Quibblo member, and enjoy all of the benefits of membership, with only the bare-bones sign up info. What are you waiting for? Go sign up!
- We now insert age and gender questions into all quizzes for non-logged in users. Collecting this information from all quiz takers will allow us to provide some neat insight into how different ages and genders answer the questions that you ask them! This is coming soon…
- We cleaned up some bugginess in style, particularly bugginess that was affecting you IE users. Be sure and ping us if you still see anything that looks out of whack.
- No more cheating on quizzes! You can no longer skip to the answers and then go back and take a quiz with your newfound knowledge of the correct choices!
- Related quizzes are now shown at the bottom of all quiz results pages, which should help you find other fun quizzes that we think you will like, based on your quiz taking behavior.
- IM to a friend links are now part of the “share” options for all quizzes. Find a quiz you like? Boom! IM it to your friend with two clicks.
Lots more to come, so stay tuned. In the meantime, go take a quiz!
Well, are you? Take some more relationship and looooove quizzes here!
