What are cNotes?


Cnotes are community notes. They are like little postcards you can send to friends on or off Writing.com. If you haven't discovered them yet, you can click cNotes in the top banner to get to a listing of all the cNote collections on our site. Offsite email addresses will receive a message from Writing.com saying "You've received a Writing.Com cNote from yourusername@Writing.Com. To view it, please visit the URL below: " and below it, a link to click to view their ecard.

What do you do with a cNote? Just like a greeting card, you can send one to wish someone a happy birthday, a note of encouragement or a message of thanks. Some cNotes come with just an image and you can add your own sentiment. It's a great way to get to know new friends and keep in touch with them. Groups could use them to vote on contest finalists.

Setting up a cNote collection is relatively easy. First, you have to have an upgraded membership that will support images. Then create your images and write down their ID numbers. Then create a Community Note. Think of this as the box that all your notes will be displayed in. The item body in the Community Note is where you will put a message about your ecards. Then save your Community Note item.

Next you'll need to get your ecard images into your Community Note box. Click Manage on the Edit line and you'll have four choices: Create A New cNote For This Collection, List The cNotes In Collection, View cNotes Sent Log, Purge cNote Log & Reset Counts. Click Create a New cNote.

The cNote subject is the text that appears in the subject part of your email inbox. The image item ID is where you put the ID number of the ecard image you created. This links the image into your Community note box. Then there is the cNote body; this is where you would put a message if you want one to appear under your image. You don't have to have a message under your image.

Now you have to set your cNote price. Writing.com charges 250 gift points to deliver your ecard. So if you would like to earn 500 gift points for each card sent, type in 500. Note that the price showing on the ecard will then be 750 gift points. Save the card and view the Community Note box, it should show your card. Now it is ready to be sent as an ecard.

Try sending some cNotes. What a great way to welcome a newbie that might not yet have items in their port to review. Or send one to tell someone you appreciate their help or indepth review. (You can add gift points to send with the card.) I hope you found this helpful and I encourage you to communicate with your community. It's a great way to network and make friends.

Last month's question: What projects are your favorite and what did success did you find in them?

lotte tells us: Right now, I'm most excited about my Hubs, "Invalid Item" Open in new Window., "Invalid Item" Open in new Window., and "Invalid Item" Open in new Window.. I wanted to make something for WDC that I wanted back when I couldn't navigate the site. They're opening on March First, and I'm sooo excited. But you can be sure I used this NL as a quick check to make sure they're ready for public eyes.
