SU Comments

So, I’ll start off by writing about the sites that I know and use. If there are ones that you’d like to see a guide to, post or send me the link and I’ll try to include it. If you know someone who would be a great author for a guide to a site, let me know.

If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!I have a confession to make. I’m an introvert.
Now some of you are probably going, “Nah, really?!? We’d never have guessed. :P”
If you’ve never taken the Myers-Briggs or other online personality test, I thoroughly recommend it. The [...]

Sometimes giving a page a thumb up seems to make a big difference. The page you discover and thumb up suddenly makes it to the Buzz and it seems like everyone is looking at it now. Another page that seems just as likely to be popular doesn’t do anything after you thumb it up. What’s going on?

Thanks to a friend who noticed I was getting too caught up in being at the top of the list, and called me on it, I seriously cut back on my SU activity for a while, and when I came back to StumbleUpon, I noticed I was having fun with it again, instead of stressing about always finding good articles to post.

Today, I want to tell you about an add-on that I use all the time with StumbleUpon. It’s called CleanSUBeta and was written by Furman87 (http://furman87.stumbleupon.com).

When you make a post on StumbleUpon, you’re not stuck just using the default plain-text look. SU allows you to use some HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to change the look of your posts. Today, we’ll look at the HTML that you can use, and what it does.
