PODS
So,
what are pods?
The
service that this webpage is ran from is called
"Tripod." Tripod has over a million members, and
thought it would be a good idea to offer "pods."
"Pod" is the term Tripod uses to describe their online
member communities. Pods are created based on themes, topics, or
interests that are generally shared by the Pod members. A pod
consists of tripod pages with the same theme, or close to the
same content. If a person wants to search Tripod for a specific
topic, like churches, he can go to the "Christian
Fellowship" Pod, and look around. Pods make it easier for
people that are looking for a specific thing. It's optional to
sign up for a pod, but I chose to.
Why
Pods?
Well, why not Pods? Who doesn't want to find interesting people
to talk to? Pods are online communities, but it's probably easier
to think of them as home base. Pods will grow and change in
response to what Tripod members need and want, but they will
always have the same goal: to help people find each other, and to
give people a place to meet, talk, rant, rave, and discuss the
subjects that interest them the most. It's simple, it's easy, and
it's only on Tripod!
Who
are the Pod Publishers?
A Pod
Publisher is a member of a Pod who has created a homepage about
the theme of the Pod s/he has joined. There are 'I'm a Member'
Pod graphics for your page show off your membership!
Information about how and where to do this is on the 'Add me to
this Pod page' in every Pod. Pod Publishers' pages can be
original content about the Pod topic, or a collection of great
resources that are related to the topic.
Heritage's
Website
I've registered this webpage with the "Christian
Fellowship" Pod. It won't change anything about the webpage,
it just gives us a chance to be grouped with other Christian
webpages on Tripod.
