WebLists are interactive ratings lists created by RateItAll registered users. Click HERE to browse examples of WebLists.
2. What kinds of things can be in a WebList?
A WebList can cover virtually anything under the sun, as long as it follows the WebList Guidelines. Maybe you want to find out what other people think about some of your favorite books. Maybe you need quick feedback about potential solutions to a problem at work. Or maybe you're planning a trip to Mexico and want the RateItAll communitys tips on what to see there. The beauty of a WebList is that there are no limits. Click HERE to see some examples.
3. How do I create a WebList?
Once you have registered, go to your profile page. Once you have arrived to your profile page, click on "Create/Edit/Manage my Weblists." Then click on "Create a New Weblist." Fill in the required fields and you are on your way.
4. How do I upload images, write descriptions, and add links?
Once you have added items to your WebList, click on the Edit Item link for the appropriate item. Follow the instructions on this page for adding images, writing item descriptions, and adding links.
5. How do I manage and delete my WebLists?
To manage your existing WebLists, simply go to your profile page, and click on the link that says "Manage/Create/Edit your WebList(s)". To edit a specific WebList, click on the link that says "Edit" that corresponds to the WebList you would like to edit. Through this link you will be able to add new items and edit existing items.
To delete a Weblist, click on the "Delete" link which corresponds to the Weblist you would like to delete.
6. How will people find out about my WebList?
Depending on how other people rate your Weblist, your WebList will be indexed on RateItAll and reachable through the sites Weblist search engine. The WebLister tool also allows you to send out an invitation to rate. To do this, simply click the Invite Raters link in the WebLister tool and follow the instructions.
Only new Weblists or Weblists with a cumulative rating of 3.0 (and at least three ratings) or higher will be displayed in the main Weblist index. All other Weblists are accessible through the profile page of the Weblist's creator, or via the site search engine.
Carefully "tagging" your Weblists with relevant keywords will also help others find them. Weblist tags are one word keywords that capture the theme of a Weblist.
7. Can I make a private WebList?
Yes. One of the required fields in creating a new Weblist is the privacy level field. There are three privacy levels:
Publicly Indexed, No Password - Weblists marked with this privacy level will be accessible by anyone, in various places throughout the site.
Not Indexed, No Password - Weblists marked with this privacy level will be accessible only via the Weblist's specific URL, by invitation, or via the Weblist creator's profile page. Reviews posted in these Weblists will not appear in the Recent Comments page, but will appear in the archived reviews of participating reviewers.
Not Indexed, Password Protected - Weblists marked with this privacy level will not appear publicly anywhere on the site, including via the Weblist creator's profile page. Reviews posted in this type of Weblist will also not be accessible. These Weblists may only be reached via invitation, and are password protected.
8. Will RateItAll edit my WebList?
No. However, in certain situations, RateItAll reserves the right to delete entire WebLists. Reasons for the deletion of WebLists may include highly offensive content, incomplete or nonsensical listings, long periods of inactivity, or exact duplication of a list that already exists elsewhere on RateItAll. To avoid WebList deletion, please make sure to follow the WebList Guidelines.
9. How do I approve/reject new item suggestions to my Weblist?
To approve new items to your Weblist, leave the Approve field checked, scroll down to the botom of the page, and hit Submit.
To reject new item suggestions, check the Reject field, and scroll down to the bottom of the page and hit Submit.
10. What are Weblist Tags?
Weblist Tags are one word keywords used to describe a Weblist. Carefully selected tags can help others find your Weblist, and allow RateItAll to make correlations between related Weblits, providing your Weblist with more exposure.
Weblist Tags should be entered one per line in the input field, and should not be separated by commas.
For example, a Weblist titled "Best Superbowl Commercials of All Time" might be assigned Weblist tags of:
superbowl
football
television
commercials
advertising
There are no wrong tags, but please use common sense in assigning Weblist Tags that most accurately capture the themes of your Weblist.
