We’ve dished out some new features on the site and one in particular will have you screaming to the world what eHow articles you’ve done in real life. Let’s see what new toys we’ve unleashed for the eHow community to play with…
1. Convenience is key: At one point, the only way you would be able to get access to the “Top Requested How To Articles” is by going through the Community page. We’ve made some updates and you’re now able to get suggested title ideas served up to a module that is located on the right-hand side of your profile page. Just click on the article title and then write it. Easy peasy.
2. By popular demand: Many of you voiced your suggestion on wanting a more lucrative list of sites to share eHow articles on. Well, what do you know? Today, eHow is the mailman, and we delivered. At one point, we only had a few sites where you can bookmark and share eHow articles, but we’ve expanded…. a lot. Now, you can share articles on sites like Digg, MySpace, Google, Facebook, Del.icio.us, Reddit, Yahoo! Buzz, and the list goes on.
3. Did you do this? Well, if you’ve seen the article pages, you’ll notice a “I Did This” button. Essentially, this is a great tool to tell people, which eHow articles you’ve actually done in real life. For example, if you come across a How To article on “How to Boil an Egg,” more than likely you’ve done this, so you would click on the “I Did This” button and share this experience with the community. You will be able to see other members who’ve participated in the same experience by looking at a module on the top right-hand corner of the article page (it will say “Members Who Did This”). Any articles you’ve clicked the “I DId This” button on should show up under your “Projects” tab on your profile page. Not only does this showcase the things you’ve done in your day to day life (which we like to think of as your personal “Projects”), but it also acquaints you with other community members who’ve done the same stuff as you have.
As always, we love to read your feedback. There’s a dedicated forum post about these new features, so don’t be shy and tell us what you think!
