Article: Whether you have a plain diary or a fancy one, you can make it look more unique by decorating the outside! In this section, you will find all sorts of ideas. You do not have to use all of them. Choose one or two that appeal the most to you! Even if your diary is already fancy, you can still glue some pretty gemstones to the cover. If your diary is plain, but you don't want to go through a lot of effort of making it fancy, you can always add some pretty stickers to the cover. This works great for those plain, composition books! For an added touch, add some embroidery to the fabric first, before you glue it on. It can be as simple as several rows of a straight stitch. You can use scrapbook paper, maps, or wrapping paper. You can even design your own cover on the computer, print it out, and use that instead! Use glue to make the cover permanent, or tape to make it temporary. Cover your finished journal with decoupage glue (such as Mod Podge) or contact paper to protect the paper from getting dirty or wet. Cover the front of your journal with a thin layer of liquid glue, then shake some glitter onto it. Wait for it to dry, then brush some glossy decoupage glue (such as Mod Podge) onto it. If you want multiple colors, work with one color at a time. Let each color dry first before moving onto the next. Make sure that your sealer is glossy. If it is matte, your glitter won't sparkle anymore. Sealing the glitter is important. It will prevent the journal from shedding all over the place. Consider sealing the edges of the cover as well. Wrap duct tape around the cover. Fold the ends of the tape over onto the inside of the cover by 1/2 inch (1.27 centimeters), then trim off the excess. If you are using patterned tape, make sure that the patterns line up! Cover the spine of your journal with contrasting tape. For example, if you use patterned tape for the cover, use solid-colored tape for the spine.

Article: Prevent staining and limescale, especially if you have hard water, by wiping the bathtub dry every time you've finished using it. Take a soft cloth and wipe it completely dry. Wiping the tub dry will prevent the soapy water residue from evaporating, which creates limescale buildup. Abrasive materials such as harsh cleansers, pure vinegar, bleach, scouring powders, and steel wool can damage the enamel on the tub. You should also avoid any cleansers that are highly acidic. Use your fingers or a wire to remove any hair or debris that's caught in your drain. This is especially important if you have long hair, which can quickly clog a drain. If your drain gets clogged or slows down, you'll end up with soap scum rings around your tub. To help keep your drain clear, you can put a mesh drain strainer over the drain to collect hair and debris so it doesn't go down the drain. Simply wipe the strainer clean every few days. You can find a strainer at a department store, home improvement store, or online.

Dry the bathtub after every use. Avoid using harsh cleansers or tools on the enamel. Clean out your drain weekly to avoid a clog.
Article: This is an important step. Chances are you aren't going to make or maintain a successful website if you're going it alone. Divide up jobs and only use people you are close to for starters. Otherwise, there is a risk that people you don't have allegiances from will take your idea and use it for their own. Give them something that will encourage them to keep coming back. If you create your website and unleash it nationwide, you're not going to grow very fast at any rate. Facebook became popular because it started at one place. It got popular there and once they got a certain number of members (or hits in other cases), they would expand to another area. The reason it doesn't work if you start out big right away is because a very small number of people will discover your website because it'll be buried beneath hundreds of other websites who are trying to do the same thing. Be smart and start off small until you reach a certain number of members (hits, visits, or views) then expand to a little bit of a bigger range. Put your e-mail on the website or have a forum/chatbox. Use the feedback to constantly improve the readers' experiences with your site. Also keep it relevant. Even when your site is famous, don't forget to regularly update. This is a surefire way to keep the people coming. This step sounds a little Disney, but if you don't enjoy what you are doing, you're not going to be happy with anything you do on the site. Changing it out of personal frustration can be disastrous if your viewers don't like your personal take on it. Instead, learn to love what you're engaging with, so that you have a good feel for the viewers' needs and interests. If you get cheesed off with the whole project over time, stay its owner but give the daily managing to those who see new and exciting things in it.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Have a team or support crew. Establish a base of fans, viewers and friends. Expand at a steady but ongoing pace. Make sure you can receive feedback from your viewers. Keep the content fresh, new and interesting. Enjoy what you are doing.
