Welcome to SM Connect
Hello, thegoldensnitch23! Welcome to SM Connect! SM Connect is a place where members of Scarlet Memories can turn one of their petpages into a digital representation of their "room" in the guild. On these pages each member can blog about their day, comment on other member pages, post their creative works, add a wishlist, and so much more! Along with having a lot of fun, members will be able to better understand CSS/HTML and get a taste of what it's like to maintain a site. Everything you need to know about SM Connect is right here on this page. So keep on reading and you'll be on your way to creating your very own digital room! :D
If you have any questions or concerns, please neomail Laura.
Rules
Yes, even SM Connect has rules. So be sure to follow them.
What are guild rooms?
Everyone in the guild has an imaginary room. Since the guild is out home away from home, our rooms are like an uber awesome version of our real bedrooms. Our guild rooms are represented by the pages we create. Each room is created using their own choice of design, but becomes truly unique and individual when it is customized by it's owner. Creativity is encouraged, so don't be afraid to create new sections.
Your Room
Ready to make your room? Awesome! You can use any kind of layout you want. :3 You can make your own or use a premade. For some awesome premades, check out these sites.Settling In
Before you start to customize your room, you've got to pick where you want to put it. And I'm not talking about choosing a petpage. I'm talking about the guild. The guild is ten stories high and it has a basement. Where in the guild is your room going to be? Once you've picked your location, make sure to add it to your room to let others know where your room is. Here are your choices.If someone would like to draw a map of the guild that follows these descriptions, go right ahead.
