[IF] WORD GUIDELINES
Welcome to IF, Fun Interpretation* !
About every week a word is proposed to be used as inspiration
▶ What?
Words can be anything: Emotions, Objects, Actions, Adjectives, Places... Suggestions are super welcome ! ... sometimes I'm out of ideas =P
▶ Why?
This was the 1st idea of this experimental group.
I first searched for a group that did something similar but didn't find any, so here it is!
And also because sometimes collective creations can be surprising! Coincidences, similarities , opposites can be fun to see...
▶ When ?
About every 7-10 days a new IF-word page is created
▶ Posting
Post your palettes, patterns, related images, poems... ANYTHING! on the IF word page it belongs to manually (see above list of IF words)
You can choose any word that inspires you at that moment. You can also post old things, or even someone else's (if the creator doesn't mind.)
All IF-words stay open. See List of all IF-Words
Add the IF word tag , IF13 for peacock, IF33 for triangles...
Tags are optional if you manually post your item on the page
Note that only tagged items have a chance to be exposed in the group highlights and specials. (this, because you can easily search & sort them - example)
BADGE:
Each IF word has a badge you can put in the description area of your item.
You can find the code on the page or here: All IF-word Bagdes

Why upload a copy of image you found on the web?
Using images found on the web as-is without hosting it yourself is called "hotlinking" or 'bandwidth theft (see here)John McCain Busted for Hotlinking
In 2007, John McCain's Myspace page used hotlinked images without permission.
Since he was running for president, you can just imagine how much bandwidth that used!
The graphics' owner fought back by replacing one with an embarrassing and amusing image.
McCain is lucky. Many people replace hotlinked graphics with something obscene.

The group homepage can only show 5 threads - and everybody seem to use it differently.
+ it's an important place as it's so easy to access, ( the group image at the top leads to the homepage)
If something gets submitted to a non-sticky thread, it goes up the list and that thread will show on the homepage. Some use this feature to check new submissions, and that's why I wanted to keep some free/non-sticky.
BTW, do you often check the latest palettes & patterns visible at the bottom of the homepage?
I do when I pass by. I wonder if many do... You do need to scroll down.

Soemtimes I do, sometimes I don't. It depends on a variety of factors - my specific purpose in visiting, how busy I am, if something catches my eye, etc.
