| Hello Members! We just can't help it ... all of the Cyber Monday hoopla has rubbed off on us. We're doing a little special that we've never done before, and it's something we think will help get everyone in the spirit of holiday gifting.  Buy yourself a membership, gift one to someone else for free! Purchase yourself an Upgraded Membership or above, use the special Cyber Monday coupon code (given below) and Writing.Com will gift a paid membership to a member of your choice, on your behalf! The length and type of membership gifted will be based on your purchase. We'll gift the same type of membership you purchase - Upgraded for Upgraded, Premium for Premium. When you purchase: 12 months, we'll gift 3 months... 6 months, we'll gift 2 months... 3 months, we'll gift 1 month. For example: Buy yourself a 12 month Premium, gift someone else a 3 month Premium for free. Buy yourself a 6 month Upgrade, gift someone else a 2 month Upgrade for free. When checking out, enter the coupon code: GIFT: username * Please make sure you replace "username" with the username of the member you'd like the bonus gift sent to. Don't have anyone in mind for the added gift? No problem! Use the coupon: GIFT: RAOK ... and we'll gift 20% of your paid membership order to "RAOK Upgrade Brigade Group" ! Spend $49.95 on a membership for yourself and RAOK gets 99,900 in Gift Points! Important Notes & Rules: * Applies to all purchases in "The Writing.Com Shop" for Upgraded Memberships or above and purchased for your own account. This offer does not apply to gifted memberships. You must enter the coupon code on the checkout page of the shop.* This offer is only valid on purchase made "Cyber Monday 2010" -- Monday, November 29th, 2010. * Any payment method is accepted and valid for this offer! * Mailed payments must be postmarked by Tuesday November 30th for the coupon to be honored. * To keep things simple, if your giftee has a higher level than the gift, we'll send them the Gift Point equivalent of their 1, 2 or 3 month gifted membership instead. * Only one coupon per order -- you can not use the coupon to gift a membership and the coupon to gift GPs to RAOK on the same order.  I think that covers it. Any questions? Post a comment! Thanks for your support and happy gifting! ~~SM |

| Greets, Both {indent} and {s} have been upgraded to allow a number of iterations right within the tag: Rather than doing {indent}{indent}, you can now do {indent:2} Rather than doing {s}{s}{s}, you can now do {s:3}Examples: {s} or {s:1} {s:2} {s:3} {s:4} {s:5} (same as {indent}) {indent} or {indent:1} {indent:2} {indent:3} {indent:4} {indent:5} Per the examples above, the tags still work fine without any number. {indent} and {s} both assume "1" if nothing is included for them. Note: The maximum for {indent} is 10 and the maximum for {s} is 50. (As of this posting, the WritingML documentation has not been updated to reflect this change.) Hope this helps! ~~SM |
