Egads! I didn't know that was there!

We all know that ProgressiveU is a wonderful place to blog :) But, there are several features that you may not have discovered as of yet that make ProU even better than ever before! I want to encourage you to check them out!

1) Nominate a featured blogger. Each week we will feature a blogger of your choosing. If you have a favorite blogger, send us a nomination! If you want to be a featured blogger, do the "someone nominate me" featured blogger nomination dance (it's like the Macarena... only backwards).

2) Update your profile. We've added a few new fields to your profile. Check them out by going to My Account and editing!

3) Check out the News page! The news team has rounded up interesting news sources from all over the place and plugged them into constantly updated News Feeds just for you!

4) Explore the Links section. We've added several links to other sites that we think you'll enjoy!

5) Participate in the Outreach. We've listed several ideas to get you started reaching out. Do you think others need to be added to the list? Email your ideas to us at info@progressiveu.org and we'll see if we can make it happen! And as always, feel free to post the results of your efforts for all of us to read!

Finally, if you think of something that's missing from the site, let us know! We're serious about our users building ProgressiveU and will work to implement the features that we conceivably can implement.

The A-Team has worked hard to make ProU your site, but we don't know what you like and what you don't if you don't tell us!

It is! When I was 11 or so, I played Kings Quest all the time and you could get this iceburg lettuce and the character would say "Egads! That's cold!" I'd do it as often as possible just to hear the word lol.

Haha, I loved KQ5! The one with the Rotten Tomato and the Stick in the Mud. (I think it was 5)

I'm glad you pointed out the changes. Knowing me, it probably would have taken me weeks to notice, lol.

Eh, I think it was 6. Five was with the crazy dwarf I think.

And I hope you'll check out the new features. We're excited about them and are working on others that we hope to launch before the start of the September BfP contest!

Hi Rasta.

There's a menu on the right side of the screen that reads "Progressive U Features" with some links you may want to check out...

For the Topic Of the Week page, you can find that here: http://www.progressiveu.org/weeklytopic
