Building a Community: The Importance of Being Active and Engaging
As most of you know, community is very important to InkBlot. We actively encourage our users to engage with one another, build friendships, network, and create memories. However, it’s easier said than done. Sometimes finding your way around a new platform can be confusing, intimidating even. But, no worries, we got you.
Cyber’s InkBlot Guide: Getting Started on InkBlot
Our volunteer, Cyber, has put together a neat little guide to help new and old users navigate the platform and foster the community. Check it out!
With this guide, we hope that InkBlot users have an easier time figuring out how to be active and engaging. But we know you can’t do it all on your own so we’ve got some plans in store for next month. Stay tuned~!
