Contributing

Do you know how BioCookies gets its content? Yes, the Webmasters do a majority of the work, but we still get a lot of great stuff from people just like you. You can add content to your member folder, and if you wish to make your work officially approved by the BioCookies team, we will review your work. After that we will approve your new content if it isn't against our Terms Of Use. You can promote your folder by posting comments on pages throughout the site regarding your content. If you've posted a video, we might even add it to the videos page! Simple, isn't it? If you still don't quite understand, here are a few guidelines that may help.

 

Add things to your folder

You can add pages, images, files, and subfolders to your member folder. Imagine it is like the filesystem on your computer. As of right now, there is no limit to the amount of content you are allowed to submit and upload! *Tip: Organize pages and other content in their own subfolders, this makes your part of the site look neat.

To add items to your folder, log in, click "my folder", click on "add to folder" . After that, choose a content type to create.

Promote your folder

What's the point of submitting content if people don't see it? Sure, your videos might be featured in the videos section, but you want people to see your personal folder, too! We don't really care if you promote your folder by posting comments on the site just as long as you don't spam. Also, we will place a link to your folder next to every one of your videos that we have featured in the videos section. If you get enough traffic, your content may even appear in search engines!

Make it Official

To make sure that your work isn't against our terms of use, you can submit it for approval. To do this, simply log in and navigate to whatever you want approved. If you see a button at the top that reads "State - public draft", you can proceed to clicking the button and selecting submit. Your work will then appear in our "to be reviewed" list. After that, we will change your content's state to published, which means that it meets the Terms Of Use. Note: the BioCookies team views user pages regularly, so your work may be approved without any request at all!

Join the crew

If you're showing good intentions and are an active member of the community, you'll be promoted to a reviewer. Reviewers have the ability to publish content that is submitted for approval. Very, very trusted members will be promoted to manager status. Managers have the ability to edit any part of the site.
