Overview for Newcomers:

Our online poetry workshops are what sets World of Poets apart from other poetry communities. Not only do you get to meet many different members here, you also have an opportunity to create, and take part in, many different workshops.

Our workshops are conducted within a framework called a Bulletin Board. The workshops are separted by forums. At first, the bulletin board can seem pretty overwhelming. But fear not! After just a few hours, you'll be an expert in no time!

When you registered for World of Poets, your member name and password were automatically updated into the bulletin board. Simply click on the Poetry Workshops link, enter your member name and password, and you can get started!

Poetry Workshop Terminology

When you first visit the poetry workshops (boards), you will see a few different areas. The following will give you a better understanding of the layout of a bulletin board.

Forums

Forums serve as filing cabinets for each theme of workshops. For example, one of our forums is called Admin Avenue. This forum (filing cabinet) contains different workshops (folders) relative to administation. Our workshops are also known as boards.

Boards

Boards are the workshops (folders) within each forum (filing cabinet). They separate the different workshops within a particular forum. For example, within the Admin Avenue Forum, I have 3 different workshops (boards) which contain different topics or files.

Topics

Topics (files) are created by members. They are the subjects members start, or reply to, within each Board. So, all you really have to worry about is finding a Board--workshop-- you like and start posting and responding. Here is the basic concept, mapped out:
