So to get one, you need to do something that makes MS a better place. If you were a 'Cast Member' of our site, what might you do? Some people have gone out of their way to welcome and help others (without me asking them to). Some have done a lot to help me run this site (taking some of the responsibility off me... I'm spread very thin!). They've suggested ideas to me, and with my approval have taken responsibility for implementing/managing these new activities/forums so I don't have to. Some have written tutorials. Some have brought in a significant number of new members. Some are just on the site a significant amount of time, posting a lot of layouts, leaving a lot of love for others, participating in challenges, etc.

If you want a name tag, think of a way to make MouseScrappers a better place. Some ideas:
- we could use some more scrapbooking tutorials;
- I'd like to see more Disney news (e.g. updates on park changes);
- I'd like to see more content in the photography forum since photos are so essential to our pages... ideas for improvement, how-to's, etc;
- Also, if you know somebody that can help get negotiated discounts for our members (like I did with Hojo), or if you know somebody that can help me get some advertisers to help me fund the site, that would help, too!

btw, If anyone wants to 'nominate' someone for a name tag, I'm all ears - I'm sure I haven't noticed everyone.

Thanks,

thanks for the info Carol!! i just linked someone up to some tutorials that helped me when i first started digi-scrapping. then after that i was thinking that we should really have some basic tutorials of our own here on this site!! i even made a list, lol. hoping to have some up in the next week or so.
