When we redesigned Quibblo, we streamlined our process a bit to make things look cleaner. That means the sidebar where we used to house the Post this Quiz code has been replaced by quizzes that we think our users would like to take.

But you can still post your quiz! It’s easy.

Click the Share This button next to the quiz you want to share.

Select the “Post This Quiz Widget” option where you can grab code to paste into your blog, website, or social network profile. Depending on where you want to put the quiz, you may even be able to enter your login info and post it directly to your page without leaving Quibblo.

We’ve got some pretty great users on Quibblo. Some of our users are so great that they’ve caught our attention and have been selected as featured members.

A featured member is highlighted on the home page of Quibblo. This means that they get a LOT of attention from users who want to take their quizzes, read their stories, and become their friends.

So how do you become a featured member?

Well, first of all, you need to write quizzes and stories! We want our users to have something to do when they get to your profile page, so write some fun quizzes for them to take or cool stories for them to read.

Secondly, you need to have a profile picture. A profile picture is a great way to attach your personality to your profile. Why don’t you have one?!

Third, you need to be nice and engaging. You’ll get a ton of friend requests, so we hope our featured member can handle being the most popular person on Quibblo for the day. That means going on Quibblo regularly, accepting friend requests, and being a kind and positive person. (You guys don’t like bullies, and neither do we!)

Do you know someone on Quibblo who should be featured member? Do you think you fit this criteria and want to be featured member? Tell us in the comments! We want to hear from you!

Add style to your content on Quibblo with formatting!

Most of you already know you can use bold, italics and underline on your quizzes and comments, but now you can do it in your story text too!

It’s easy, all you have to do is put a symbol on either side of the word or phrase you want highlighted.

For example, you can italicize a word by adding slashes (/) on either side of the word, like /this/

Here are all of our formatting options:

• /italics/ makes italics
• *bold* makes bold
• _underline_ makes underlined text

Enjoy formatting your comments, stories and quizzes on Quibblo!

Since we released stories a few weeks ago, lots of you have asked, What About Story Invitations! Well, now we’ve got ‘em, and while we were at it, we made invitations even better and easier to use.

When you create a quiz or story, you want lots of people to come and take it.   Here at Quibblo, we want to help you get more people to take your quiz, which is why we made the new sharing and invitation tools.  Here’s how sharing works after you make a quiz or story:

1. You can now post a link to your quiz or story as a status update on Facebook or Twitter.
2. You can send quiz and story invitations to your Quibblo friends or send an email quiz invitation to anyone.
3. If you create a quiz, poll, or survey you also have the option to post the whole quiz on a blog or other site using the quiz widget.

A lot of people have asked us How do I put my quiz on Facebook? Now, when you make a new quiz or story, just click the “Share This” button to post a link to it on Facebook.  Click the button, and you’ll see a window like this:

Check the Facebook box (or Twitter, MySpace, Yahoo, whichever you like), and click “Share”.  Your quiz will be automatically posted, and it’ll look like this:

What do you think of the new sharing and invitations options?  Take this poll and tell us what you think.

Every now and again, spammers seem to sneak onto Quibblo, pretend to be cute girls or rich friends, and send messages to you guys asking for you to contact them at some strange looking email address. Usually it’s because they want to “get to know you better” or have “something really important to tell you”, but don’t believe it, it’s a trick!

To see what one of these messages looks like, click the image below:

So what should you do if you get a message like this? The best way to notify us, is to click over to that users profile, scroll ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM of the page, and then click the “Flag this Profile as Offensive” link. This reports the profile to our moderators and we can check it out and delete the user.

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.
