Hi Everyone,

eHow is on a roll this week. We pushed out some new features for the eHow community, and they are GREAT! While everyone knows that eHow is a site where you can learn "How to Do Just About Everything," there must be times where you want to ask a question or build a discussion that goes beyond the "How To" format. Well, here is your opportunity to do just that. We've expanded the forums with new categories, where you can ask questions, answer questions, or build discussions around "Art & Entertainment" to "Weddings." This will promote a positive community experience and the collaboration between eHow community members and eHow experts will help drive the site to be the epicenter of all things KNOWLEDGE!

As I said before, we are on a roll and we have more to unveil. Have you lately seen the overview of the articles you've created? Or maybe viewed your profile page in detail? If you haven't noticed, we have added a nice, little feature that'll provide you with a useful data on your articles. What is it you say? (Drum roll please) We have added a nifty "article view count." Just to give you the specifics, the article views you see on your profile is the total view count on all your articles, while the "Manage My Articles" page (click on the "Manage My Articles" link on your profile page) will give you a detailed understanding of how many views each of your article has had. This new tool will definitely help you see how your articles are performing in terms of traffic, so get going and figure out some innovative ways to drive readership for your content. It can get quite addicting!

Hint: One good way to increase views on your content is to send your articles to your friends and family.

Thinking of new ideas to increase views on your articles is all part of the fun.

I wonder what kind of ideas other members have?

Enjoy!

Now if you could just add "Daily Earnings per Article", that would rule! Did you get the issues with the view count straight? I know there was some fluctuation there for a bit.
