User blog:TheSlicer/Spotlight up!

Alright, y'all. Remember the discussion we had earlier about getting the Wikia Spotlight? Well, it's here now. If AdBlock's not on, you can probably scroll down to the bottom of the page to see it. Anyway, this probably means a lot of new users, so be sure to greet them, folks!

A few tips to remember when introducing new members to Wikia:
 * Introduce them to the tutorial if they're new. It's a very good place for new users to start.
 * Guide them to the portal, which has several links to places on the wiki. It might be wise to remember a few of those.
 * If possible, show them slowly through the policy--it's a lot to take in.
 * Explain how talk pages work, and give them a few users to contact should they need any help.
 * Try to help people through article-making until they've got the basics done.
 * Show them to the forums and voting center, where they can take part in community discussion. Don't forget the IRC!
 * Take part in the development of their storyline, if they want.
 * Remember to be at your most helpful!
