Your guide is utterly fantastic; thank you for doing that.

I do have a couple of suggestions: Over and over I see people saying that they feel tongue-tied on DW because they don't have the time or ability to write long thoughtful posts, so they do nothing. If you would consider softening the language about the length and polish expected on DW posts, that might encourage people. Twitter length posts are fine! No one will sniff and turn away and say "Not long enough. Slacker."

Another thing -- I love your link to the post about how to meet people on DW, but you also might just mention quickly that the "network" button in the navigation bar will give you a scrolling list of everyone you've subscribed to and everyone THEY'VE subscribed to. If you subscribe to a few extremely connected people, all of a sudden you have all THEIR connections to look at as well.

Also, we don't have likes but you can always open a comment window and just type <3. Old school but effective.

Thanks so much for doing the post. I'd love to see more people here and you are encouraging just that!
