*UPDATE*

there are 3 different boards now. and the nest and the bump have switched their lay outs. So my how to guide is a wee bit out dated. So I'm going to use the nest as a reference point. but because both are run pretty much the same, the steps will all be the same. so follow along, and if you get lost don't be afraid to ask questions. I'm more than willing to help.

I’m not changing the older entries because the knot, has the old format. so that way if you're using the guide for the knot, it should still all work out for you. again, don't hesitate to ask questions

Nesting Etiquette

This was posted by a group of girls on BNOTB today. i thought it was appropriate. Honestly take everything said on our board or any with a grain of salt. It is hard to take what is said in the right context because its online.

1. Unless I put all CAPS than I am not yelling at you.

2. Just beacuse you are having an emotional/bad day doesn't mean everyone else is. So dont read into every post like someone's out to get you. We all have different senses of humor. Just because you read it wrong doesn't make us bitchy or crabby...maybe it's you! :)
#2 addendum - asking someone if they are in a 'mood' is not a polite way to ask if they're on the rag or if they're in a bitchy mood. it makes you look condesending and dumb.

3. If someone doesn't respond to your post right away than chances are they are actually working or busy NOT that they are avoiding you but they might possibly be.
#3 addendum - if you post something during the high point of the day and you get no responses, it is because no one cares, so don't re-post it a few hours later.

4. Don't criticize people by their spelling/grammar, sometimes we're busy and don't catch it before we post b/c we're at work, etc

5.don't post a "newbie" thread, then never come back

6. we welcome all new people with open arms on our board. but honestly please don't post a poll or ask about our baby choices. get to know us first. you'll learn through the grape vine and many other posts how we feel. We have all different types, so don't assume we're all baby haters.
