Ever wondered what it takes to encourage participation and user interaction on your Website or blog? We did too and came to a conclusion that the time was right to install a point management system on this blog. Thus, users can now earn points by participating in activities such as writing comments, creating posts, participating in our online forum and logging in on this Website. Guest contributors will also be able to earn points that is a measure of their overall performance and activeness on this blog in relation to publishing articles and replying to reader comments.
Consequently, a major feature of this Website will now be the introduction of a ranking system based on the number of points earned by each member. By introducing ranks, registered members will be able to show off their status and will be beneficiaries of rewards that will be announced from time to time. Furthermore, we will introduce random bonus points giveaways so as to give readers an equal chance to win prizes occasionally.
