I have been writing on Triond for just about two months and have to date submitted around 50 articles. I notice there are some hot users on the list who have written less than this although they have been associated with Triond for much longer. What is the criteria for making the hot users list? Is there one? Or perhaps the whole thing is totally random.
Is there anything a relatively new user like me can do to appear on among the hot users? I suppose the same question applies to the hot content articles. What is it that makes an article one for inclusion among the hot content articles on the main page? I am interested to know how this worked for some of the long-standing writers here on Triond.
How long was it before you made the hot users list? Was it based on the time since you joined or was it the volume of articles? Is there some other element involved that I'm not aware of? I do enjoy reading articles here on Triond and tend to do so randomly if some subject catches my eye. Does it help to stick with a specific subject or is a variety of subjects better?
I like the Triond set up and find it a very good website to the eye. Associated Content is a bit messy by comparison and not so pleasing to look at. I plan to write more for Triond and see what the results are by the end of the year. Who knows, I might just make that hot users list somewhere along the way. I hope some of my fellow Trionders will offer some helpful comments on the questions raised above. Happy writing!
