Advantages: Free and easy to use, Customisable, Improve the community spirit here

Disadvantages: Not a one!

Hail the man! Dave rules! What am I talking about? Well for months and months, many DooYoo users have complained about the lack of community spirit at the site, no Guest Books for us to fill with daft messages for our buddies and respected writers like they have across at Ciao. But all that has changed, courtesy of Dave *kneels down before him chanting ‘I’m Not Worthy’ over and over* :O)

Dave, also known as ILoveJackDaniels at both Ciao and DooYoo, has given us the chance to have our very own completely free DooYoo guest book. Just pop along to http://www.hotshotsdesigns.co.uk/tooyoo/ and check it out! Dave has made the entire process incredibly easy, the first step is to register by simply tapping in your DooYoo username and your choice of password. Then, if you want to, you can post a link to your guestbook on your DooYoo profile page, using this format:

http://www.hotshotsdesigns.co.uk/tooyoo/book.p hp?user=YOURUSERNAME

Then anybody checking out your ops can go visit and leave you messages.

You can customise your guestbook too, with the option of changing the colours of the background, text, names etc so you have a fully personalised page that is totally your own. Dave has also included the facility to use emoticons in your messages, smiles, frowns, winks etc, and you can highlight bits of text using bold or underlining where appropriate. He is also very open to ideas too, Broksababe demanded glittery backgrounds LOL, and not to be outdone, I asked for fuzzy ones, he tells me he’s working on them! :O) Wonder if he can do a Galaxy chocolate background?!

Also included is a general message area, where you can leave messages for all registered users to see. This is a great idea as Dave regularly posts updates to the site here, and you can check out fun links and so on that everybody can enjoy.

The guestbooks are very fast loading and leaving messages takes just seconds. When somebody leaves
you a message, their username is displayed as a hyperlink so by clicking on it, you are taken directly to his or her own guestbook. And what’s more, Dave has even included daily email alerts so that you can choose to be notified of new messages both in your own personal guestbook and also the general message area.

If you are uncertain of anything, click on the Help link displayed at the top of each page and there you will find helpful notes, a list of all the smileys available and how to use them, and handy hints for formatting your messages. Click on the Member’s link, and here you will find a list of all currently registered members, you can even search for your favourite names. At the time of writing, there are 43 registered members, so please help to spread the word! This is good I tell ya!

There are two more links on every page, one that takes you straight back to the DooYoo home page, and the other lets you contact Dave direct with any questions or problems.

Dave has really done a brilliant job with this, and I think we should all support him in his endeavours, he has put such a lot of hard work into this! Go register now!! And please DooYoo, maybe you could even endorse this officially? A huge thank you to the man himself wouldn’t go amiss either! Oh, and if you do sign up, do me a favour please, leave rude messages in Excelle’s book on my behalf, just so I can get my own back. ;O) Bwa hahahahahahaha……but only nice friendly messages in mine please! :O)

Over Too Yoo……. :O)
