Example Orb

I have created this full featured Orb as an example of what you can do with your Orb. If you are looking for a tutorial please checkout http://support.bigorb.com. I've attached a photo album to my about page. Attachments are links to your photo album, audio album, or video. The primary image of the attachment is displayed at the beginning of this page and a link of the attachment is also at the bottom of this page.

My Orb header has all the menu items that are available. "About" takes you to the Orb's home page. "Search" gives you a way to do a keyword search within the Orb. "Invite" allows users to invite others to the Orb. "Contribute" allows members to give content contributions to the Orb editor. "Chat" is a chat room for the members of the Orb. "RSS" is a feed of all the newest changes to the Orb. To learn more about RSS check out this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rss

At the top of most content pages are the 'Bookmark' and 'Share' links. Bookmarking a page makes it possible to easily access the page through your account under 'Bookmarks.' The 'Share' link gives you the URL to quickly copy so that you can give that link to others. If the Orb you are viewing has members there will usually be a comments section at the bottom of the content pages. Members may post a comment to the corresponding content and may also rate the content while leaving their comment.

Take a look at the left column of my Orb. Just below 'The Editor' is 'Featured.' Although 'Featured' may have a different name and location it will generally be in that spot. This section is used to feature content that should be seen first or in a specific order. It's kind of like a 'shortcut' to content buried within the Orb.

All Orbs are given a special domain name. I named mine "Example" so if you want to find my orb without logging into your account just type this URL into the address bar of your browser:
