NaNoWriMo faces tool

Welcome to the NaNo Faces tool! The way this works: you specify the nanowrimo forum thread you want the tool to scan; the tool periodically scans the thread to collect and update a list of participants and then uses the wcapi to plot a graph of the individual wordcount histories of the participants. You can see an example of last year's graphs (note that there is still a problem with previous year graphs, though the data is safe). There is also a Faces page so you can quickly peruse the faces of the participants

Instructions:

  1. Create the thread where you want people to post to sign up for and/or use your Welcome thread or an existing thread. If you create your own thread in your region (and you're an ML who can edit the thread afterwards), you can put the wordcount graph at the top of the thread. The way to do this is to go to your graph, right click and copy the image URL. You can then use the <img src="image URL" /> tag.

    For example: for naperwrimo2014 as a tag, <a href="http://faces.naperwrimo.org/2014/naperwrimo2014.shtml"><img src="http://faces.naperwrimo.org/2014/images/naperwrimo2014_large.png"/></a>

  2. Put the thread URL in the form below along with other requested information
  3. Be patient: I will manually review the entries and put them into the tool.
  4. When your Faces page appears, enjoy!
