Hi, friends!

I know that you've noticed labels next to your names when posting in the Community or viewing your profile. By now, you're probably curious as to what these labels are, why they exist, and how they work. I applaud your inquisitiveness, my friends!

These labels are Community Ranks. In a sense, they show your place in the community. Don't get me wrong - no rank is bad (or even good). Instead, they signal how long you've been here, your level of activity in the Community, and even the type of activity you prefer. Ranks allow Community Moderators and Community Members (that's you!) alike immediately know a little bit about each person they encounter here in our neighborhood. Fun, right? I certainly think so!

At this point, I'm sure you're all saying to yourselves, "But Erin, HOW exactly do I rank up? I want to be the highest rank!" Well, my answer to you is: Rank forumals are a secret, and my lips are sealed. However, I can give you some helpful tips:

- Start posts. (Get chatty!)

- Reply to posts. (Stay chatty!)

- Give and receive kudos. (Everyone loves a nice kudos!)

- Suggest ideas and improvements for Weebly in the "Vote on Features" section. (It's fun, I promise!)

- Be the nice person I know you to be!

Even though I'm keeping the Rank formulas under wraps, I will give you a glimpse at the Rank progression. Here they are, from highest to lowest rank:

Mayor

Commissioner

Counselor

Guardian

Inventor

Professor

Educator

Mentor

Steward

Curator

Scholar

Voyager

Adventurer

Explorer 

Tourist

Let me know if you have any questions about Ranks! I'm happy to chat more about them.

Enjoy your day,
Erin
