Ok! I'm not too sure I'm doing this right, but if so, thank me. I just finished login into 9rules.com and I still don't have any clue as to how this website works.

Although the looks aren't the same, the elements of this website is kind of familiar... sort of like Mashable.com. Maybe it's my imagination.

Anyways, I'm glad I'm here for now, so if anyone knows his or her way around 9rules.com, please be a good friend to me and help me figure out how 9rules.com works.

Oh yeah! Just by the way, the points system looks nice. It really does incite you to right something. Now, to find how to make money out of it is the next best thing. I'm gonna have to check it out.

Later,

My best advice would be to poke around and figure it out for yourself. It's a rather organic design, and you'll find stuff in all sorts of nooks and crannies. A run down, however:

Notes: anyone at 9rules who has a my.9r account can post here.
Entries: entries from 9rules Members only.
Clips: Digg, basically, but cooler because it's at 9rules.

And also...

Now, to find how to make money out of it is the next best thing.

Huh?

Yeah... Just above I see the ad that says "Make Easy Money Text Link Ads", So I'ma check this out to see if this can become very lucrative. ;)

Thanks for the advice btw, it's well appreciated. And very fast response too.. clearly, 9rules.com looks like it can be truly a nice website to be in.

Hey onyx, welcome to 9r.
Don't miss the my.9r tour.

You do realize that TLA is not part of 9rules, I hope?

Yeah, TLA isn't 9rules. You're not going to make any money participating at 9rules per se.

Inserted: Onyxgod and Techmalaya and everyone:

Don't forget to vote for 9r as best online community for the 2007 Weblog Awards!

It's not mandatory "mandatory", but, yeah, kinda mandatory anyways :-D

Anyway, I just noticed how the Tour is indeed hidden behind the my.9r page. The About I could only find all the way at the bottom.

Perhaps next to Entries, Clips, Blog, there should be a "yeah okay so but what do I need to know" button?

I love that tour btw; looks so good. You should do a screencast however. Way cooler :-)

Thanks for some of these links guys i'm pretty new on here (well been signed up for a while but not done much posting) and trying to figure all of it out. Got the hang of notes, didnt realise what everything else was about!
