Updates on Inkspired, Community Guidelines, updated FAQs and video tutorials

Hey guys, it's Galo here again. 

I'm bringing you some Inkspired updates today, to catch you up with what we have been adding recently to the platform. On Inkspired we are always worrying about our readers, writers, and community in general. You speak, and we listen. And as experience rapid growth in our community, especially from Spanish-speaking people, Brasil and Europe, we need to adapt to the demands of that growth.

That's why we have updated a few sections in our platform to make it easier for you and the new users to get started on Inkspired, and keep you focused on what you actually want to do: to read and to write.

FAQs & Video tutorials

This section has been changing recently. We have updated our Frequent Questions and Answers to the current stage of Inkspired, and updated it with the most popular features we have been incorporating recently. We have also translated them into Spanish and Portuguese, which is something we have been aiming at for quite a while since our communities in those languages are as strong as ever. You can expect content more straight-forward in helping you get your tasks done.

Also we have added additional material to the section in form of video tutorials with walkthroughs, available for now only in a selected few languages: we will be adding more over time. But we need everybody's help. If you speak German, French, or Russian, and want to volunteer for creating a video tutorial, we will be more than happy!

You can access the FAQ page here.

New Community Guidelines

As our community continues to grow, we felt the need to put some rules in place, to keep Inkspired a high-quality content place, and also keep it as a safe place for our readers and also writers. Following these guidelines are part of the Terms of Use of Inkspired, and they are set of norms related to writing and publishing of original content, handling copyrighted content, and also behavior between users.

Here you can read our new Community Guidelines, available in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
