Creating a club
Determining need
So, آپ are a پرستار of some topic and want to post a bunch of لنکس for it, right? Before آپ create a club for it, آپ need to make sure that there isn't already a club that covers that territory. Duplicate کلب get reported and may eventually be removed from the site, so this is important: always perform a thorough search for your topic before آپ create a new club!
link
At least two searches should be conducted before آپ create a new club: a تلاش for الفاظ مطلوبہ for the club itself, and a تلاش for الفاظ مطلوبہ on a key link آپ want to add to the club. For example, if آپ wanted to create a spot for the punk band 'The Dead Kennedys', آپ should first تلاش for the most common terms associated with the topic (in this example, it might be 'dead' 'kennedy' 'punk' 'Jello' and 'Biafra'). You'll get one of three types of results: either the فہرست of results will دکھائیں a 'Dead Kennedys' club (in which case آپ don't create another one), the فہرست of results will دکھائیں no کلب that match those تلاش terms, یا the site will رپورٹ "we couldn't find any exact matches." If some of the تلاش terms آپ entered do match material on the site, this will be followed سے طرف کی "Here are the results for:" and a فہرست of results that match those terms. If آپ don't get any matches, is it time to create the club? The answer is NO - آپ do not create a new club before making sure that the content آپ wish to add isn't already in some other club that duplicates that content without using the same الفاظ مطلوبہ آپ thought to use. Conduct that سیکنڈ تلاش first. Say آپ want to add a video for "California Über Alles": تلاش for 'california' 'Über' 'Alles' and 'Uber' (many users will not use the extended character set). It might دکھائیں up in a club for "Hardcore music", and if آپ don't have a lot مزید Dead Kennedys-specific content to add, posting what آپ do have to the "Hardcore music" club probably works just as well.
But, if آپ do have a lot of content and/or the تلاش results دکھائیں that there isn't a club that adequately covers what آپ want to post, then create your club!
Note: before آپ create a new club, it is best to have the logo and banner تصاویر ready in advance. مزید on that below.
Creating a club
To create a club, go to the سب, سب سے اوپر page of the site, scroll down to the 'browse content' section and click on the link just above it labeled 'Create a New Club'. As an alternative, آپ can click on one of the content categories at the سب, سب سے اوپر (Television, Movies, Music, and so on) - it doesn't matter which one آپ click - and then you'll find the same 'Create a New Club' button in the upper right. Finally, آپ can just go link (astute users will note the mention of "spot" in that URL: "clubs" were called "spots" until late 2007). Finally, if آپ don't find any matches in your searches (described above), آپ will be presented with a form to create a new club there.
The form presents آپ with "Step 1: Choose Topic", followed سے طرف کی six fields for information on your new club.
Choose Topic: this should be the عنوان of your club. آپ should make the عنوان as specific as possible and not use acronyms. Consider: the عنوان should have no ambiguity as to what the club is intended for, and acronyms یا too-general titles cause confusion leading to content being گیا کیا پوسٹ to a spot inappropriately. This is VERY IMPORTANT, because the name of the club is the one thing that can never be edited after it is created. For example, here are two کلب where the creators would have done better to come up with مزید specific names:
* link uses a common acronym for its name. A quick online تلاش reveals that there are dozens of different uses for the acronym "JDM", from computer programming, database management to various church ministries. The possibilities for content related to an acronym such as "JDM" are endless, and users are completely justified in posting content relating to any of the many topics in a club with such a vague name.
* link uses a common word for its name, without any attempt to explain which meaning is intended. Is it intended for جوابغیر questions? For the musical group Enigma? The عنوان gives no indication that it is intended for شائقین of World War II cryptographic machines, and so the club has become muddled with all kinds of content unrelated to what its creator originally intended.
The users who created those کلب could, with a bit مزید forethought, have avoided all the confusion سے طرف کی spelling out the acronym (the first club could have been called "Japanese Domestic Market") and adding a word for specificity (the سیکنڈ club could have been called "Enigma machines").
Another thing to avoid in club naming is the use of punctuation. Some types of punctuation have caused errors in the resulting clubs, so avoid using commas, semi-colons, apostrophes, quote marks and parentheses when naming your club. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't...it's better to be on the محفوظ side and avoid them altogether.
So please name your club carefully. Again, آپ will not be able to change the name once it is created...ever.
Club Motto: This should be a brief sentence describing the club (it used to be called "Club Description"). The Club Motto, along with the club's logo, is the primary means آپ have for attracting users to your club, as the logo, عنوان and جملہ معیاری are what appear as results when users perform searches. If the جملہ معیاری is descriptive, users will be inclined to take a look.
However, note that the جملہ معیاری is one of the primary ways that Fanpop searches the site. So don't get cute and write a جملہ معیاری that is just a funny phrase. This will be useless for people looking for your content. The جملہ معیاری should be a clear تفصیل of what the club's topic is. For example, a club devoted to link should NOT have a جملہ معیاری like "For everybody who thinks she's great" یا "Yowza!", but instead have a جملہ معیاری like "Everything to do with the talented supermodel Adriana Lima". Such a descriptive جملہ معیاری presents both the topic of the club (Adriana Lima), and explains why it might be of interest (she's an international model).
Channel selections: These are the اگلے three fields, which represent the channels یا categories into which your club will be sorted. Only the first channel selection, the 'primary channel', is required, and this will be used to determine how the breadcrumbing works for your club. Thus, to continue with our example, if آپ used the three pull-down menus to put the Dead Kennedys spot into the 'Arts & Culture', 'Music' and 'Society & Lifestyle' channels (in that order), the breadcrumbing would be displayed as:
link > link > dead kennedys
when perhaps آپ wanted
link > link > dead kennedys
instead. Whichever آپ فہرست first, in the 'primary channel' field, is what will be listed in the breadcrumbing. The other two selections will cause your club to be listed under those channels, when users browse them.
Club keywords:
These are the key terms for the club that آپ think people will use in their searches when trying to find your club. Remember, the primary purpose of the الفاظ مطلوبہ is to be found in searches, so that users can find your club.
The الفاظ مطلوبہ should be separated سے طرف کی commas. For example, the Dead Kennedys club might have:
dead, kennedys, jello, biafra, punk, music, california
as keywords. Each club can have ten الفاظ مطلوبہ maximum, so choose carefully.
Once آپ have filled out each of the required fields, click "submit". If any of the required fields haven't been filled out, the fields exceed the allowed length/number of characters (or allowed number of keywords, in the case of the 'Club Keywords' field), یا the club name has already been used, the site will produce an error message prompting آپ to correct the problem and re-submit.
Once آپ have successfully submitted, آپ will get a brief confirmation screen, and then the site will automatically load your new club. Your new, blank, empty club. What next?
Logo and banner
First, آپ need to create a logo and banner for your club. The club logo is the square image that is rendered as an شبیہ across the site to represent the club, whenever an update یا other reference to your club is made. The banner is the long image that goes across the سب, سب سے اوپر of the club's page. Providing the logo and banner is important to do now, for two reasons:
1) کلب without a logo and/or banner don't get as much traffic, since users prefer a good image to the generic fanpop تصاویر that appear on all new clubs.
2) Your newly created club is considered a pending یا upcoming club as soon as it is created. Pending bears little significance to how the club appears to users (though savvy fanpop users do check the link occasionally to see what's new on the site), since users can immediately شامل میں your club and/or add لنکس and other content to your club the moment it is created. There is a complicated algorithm that determines whether a club is 'promoted' from the pending status, based on the number of شائقین of that club, the amount of لنکس in the club, how many ratings there are in the club, and whether there is a logo and banner for the club. However, while having شائقین شامل میں your club will not immediately elevate it from the 'pending' status, it will prevent آپ from editing the logo and banner. This bears repeating: once other شائقین شامل میں your club, آپ can't ترمیم the club without moderator privileges. So, as I mentioned earlier, it is best for آپ to have your logo and banner ready before آپ even create the club, so that آپ can load them in the often-narrow time window while آپ still can.
Creating the club logo and banner
For a club to be promoted from the 'pending' status, it needs to have both a logo and a banner.
The logo should be a perfectly square image of at least 100 pixels across سے طرف کی 100 pixels high. While آپ can use a smaller square image, it is not recommended, as smaller تصاویر than the minimum size get inflated to fill the minimum size, and that can lead to blocky 'pixelized' pictures. The other consideration for a logo is that it read well...by that I mean that the image should be fairly simple and should well represent the topic of the club. Users should be able to look at the شبیہ and immediately be able to tell what the club is (or at least have a fair guess at it) without even reading the club title. A good example would be the microphone image for the link - it's a simple image which conveys the essence of the stand-up set-up. I won't bother pointing out bad examples, as any شبیہ is better than the default fanpop شبیہ which doesn't indicate anything for a club other than that آپ are on the fanpop web site (and hopefully we all know this). But I do encourage users to try for تصاویر that are universal rather than specific to your country (bad examples: a phone booth, a toilet, یا a taxi, all of which have very different appearances in various countries). Finally, آپ should consider that the club's logo is used all over Fanpop, scaled to various sizes...therefore آپ should try to come up with an image that reads well even at a miniscule size. For an example of what to avoid, there's this image. It may read well at 100x100, but at this size, what is it? An hostile alien? A fractal? A masterpiece of Cubism? Similarly, logos with small text should be avoided, as they are illegible at small sizes. Try to make sure that your logo is simple and represents the club topic well.
The banner is a little مزید difficult to create than the logo, as the minimum dimensions for that are 800 pixels wide سے طرف کی 100 pixels tall, an 8:1 ratio that can be difficult to accommodate with typical publicity pictures and the like. Again, آپ can use a larger image (which will scale down) یا a smaller one (which will expand with the same pixelation problem mentioned before), as long as the dimensions remain in the 8:1 ratio.
Note: whenever آپ کرائیں جمع an image to fanpop that must be of certain dimensions (your portrait picture, pictures for picks, club logos and banners) but your image does not meet those dimensions, the site will expand and/or crop your image in new and exciting ways in order to make it fit. For example, for a club banner آپ could کرائیں جمع an image that is 400x50 pixels, and Fanpop would expand it to the 800x100 dimensions. آپ can use this in a pinch, but it's better to prepare your تصاویر to be the correct dimensions before آپ کرائیں جمع them...if آپ want the تصاویر to look good.
Because it can often be difficult to find an image in the public domain that is 800 یا مزید pixels wide, آپ will probably have to use image editing software in order to combine multiple تصاویر into something that fits the 800x100 dimensions. Everyone has his/her پسندیدہ image editing software. Many people use Photoshop; myself I use GIMP.
In contrast to the concerns about the logo, the banner can be any kind of image آپ like (as long as it doesn't violate the link, of course!), directly related to the club's subject, یا only indirectly related. The purpose of the banner is to provide some personalized visual interest to the club, making it unique. Ideally, that image would also serve to tell the user where he/she is, but if it is distinctive enough it can work regardless of the image's subject. It should be said, too, that the banner can be much مزید visually complicated than the logo, as users will likely look at the banner much longer than they do at the logo. I've seen spots for TV shows with a banner of pretty flowers shot against a blue sky. Having been to those, I would recognize where I was again just سے طرف کی glancing up and seeing the image, it was that distinctive.
For a مزید in-depth تفصیل of how to create a banner, try reading link.
Once you've created the club, آپ add the logo and banner سے طرف کی clicking the "edit club" link in the upper right of the club page, in the right column just under the banner and the green "1 Fan: You're a fan!" counter. This will load a form where آپ can ترمیم the جملہ معیاری and الفاظ مطلوبہ of the spot, as well as لوڈ اپ forms to کرائیں جمع your logo and banner. Note: fanpop's site takes issue with some anti-virus/firewall combinations, causing the 'banner upload' portion of the form to disappear. If that is the case, آپ will have to either use a different system یا manually de-activate your anti-virus/firewall software, then making sure to reactivate it as soon as the form is submitted.
Your new logo and banner should appear as soon as the page reloads.
'Seeding' the club
The last thing آپ do for a new club (aside from inviting your دوستوں to check it out) is to کرائیں جمع some initial لنکس and other content for the site. This works just the way it would on another club, regardless of how it was created یا سے طرف کی whom it was created. آپ can کرائیں جمع links, videos, images, polls, write articles, start a quiz, create picks and فورم threads, یا even write on the wall. Each type of content آپ add will update the فہرست of "recent content" of that type, linked from the سب, سب سے اوپر page of the site (www.fanpop.com). It used to be that the سب, سب سے اوپر page of the site actually promoted user content. But now, we just have the second-level listings of "Browse most حالیہ content" (most حالیہ videos, most حالیہ images, most حالیہ articles, et cetera). So, to increase the likelihood that people will find your club, آپ should post quality content in each of those categories.
Here's لنکس to other parts of the guide for your quick reference:
