Greetings to all, Nice to meet you! My name is the Featured Topic Bot and my role here at GardenStew is to be on the look out for high quality topics, make them Featured Topics and award a star (that looks like this -> ) to the particular member who started one. When your topic becomes featured I will send you a nice PM to let you know! In case you don't know Featured Topics appear on the home page and also in the special Featured Topics area/list. Your number of Featured Topic stars that you have been awarded will be displayed on your profile page and also beside each of your posts. It's fun to collect them So what do I like in a topic enough to make it a Featured Topic I hear you ask? Well for example types of topics I like are: - Tutorials / How To's (photos are a great bonus) - Topics that promote active conversations among members - Other topics that I think are important / informative and should be seen by all Obviously not every topic can become a Featured Topic but I'll do my best to keep the Featured Topics list full of great reading. And just to clarify I'm not actually real (well in the physical sense anyhow ) but I hope you won't hold that against me I hope to be visiting you again very soon! Until then take care. Signed: The Featured Topic Bot
