Introducing "Groups" Beta

Hey y'all!  In the first step toward turning AnimeBelle.com into a useful social networking tool, we've opened up a feature called Groups.  Groups function similarly to groups on FaceBook, in that members can join and subscribe to them, and group administrators can post news to them.  Make sure you click Read More to learn all about this new feature!

What kinds of groups are welcome?  At the moment, we're accepting groups for clubs, organizations, and conventions.  So, if you run an anime club, this is a good way to keep your members in touch with each other and organized.  If you run an organization that cosplays or performs together, you can make posts that will be visible to your fans and also organize group activities.  If you run a convention, you can create a group for posting press releases.  Members of the AnimeBelle website can subscribe to groups and get updates when stories are posted to groups.

Remember, Groups is in its beta phase, so there are probably some bugs that still need to be worked out.  If you'd like to create a group, look for the Create Content link in the menu on the right side of your screen (assuming you're registered and logged in of course!).  Groups are currently moderated, so your group will need to be approved before it is visible to others.  If you run into any technical difficulties, please post a comment on this page.  Good luck, and y'all come on back now, y'hear!
