  In the firstnews newspaper every week you could have page, and every week you could write about something on first news. e.g. week 1 : avatars week 2 : The Bored?! Section Your the best nic :) By the way, thanks for my avatar!!!

  

• redhorse10 (Age 13) wrote on Friday, 20 August 2010 @ 09:36

  WELL, I come on at least 3 times a week anyway because I LOVE This Website, but like MS4533 said above, you could have an avatar week or something. I think the website is really good though. Maybe you could try putting a big advertisement for the website in the newspaper (First News Newspaper)

  

• Lizziexxx (Age 12) wrote on Friday, 20 August 2010 @ 10:14

  i come on just about every day, but maybe, like redhorse10 said, you could advertise one in your newspaper or you could make an advertisement on the website for avatars, put a lot of stuff on the website, get people to tell their friends, or facebook or twitter the website

  just write a artacale to tell people to tell their friends at school

  

• Clem157 (Age 11) wrote on Friday, 20 August 2010 @ 17:16

  Encourage people to spread the word through first news.You could make avatars and things easier to find by having more accessible links because loads of my friends couldn't work out how to do it. Also advertise way more!

  I love first news!! I use it every day!!! I'm always reminding my sister to aswell! I keep trying to get an avatar but the computer won't let me. I have told almost all the people I know to register and why. And most of them have! You could try to advertise where you can and you could try to tell people who have registered on the first news website tell all their friends and ask their friends to pass it on. I don't think there is any reason not to register! It's sooo cool!!

  

• rockgirl (Age 11) wrote on Sunday, 22 August 2010 @ 18:51

  Please could someone tell me how to get an avatar? I am in desperate need of one. xx

  

• nwilliams wrote on Sunday, 22 August 2010 @ 20:12

  Hey rockgirl - there is an article with avatars on them. You can use those or find your own. Go to the top of the page and click 'my account'. You should see how to do it straight away.

  

• sooty122 (Age 12) wrote on Monday, 30 August 2010 @ 09:46

  yes i agree with you Edd12345 it is very cool and that would be a very good idea telling people on here to pass it on to their friends

  

• rockgirl (Age 11) wrote on Monday, 30 August 2010 @ 09:51

  hi nic! I agree with ms4533. You could put ib first news go on the website to find out more or somthing like that?

  

• nwilliams wrote on Monday, 30 August 2010 @ 17:09

  These are all very, very good suggestions. Thank you do much for them. YOu are really helping me out. I knew I could count on all of you to have good ideas. Please keep them coming!

  

• rockgirl (Age 11) wrote on Tuesday, 31 August 2010 @ 17:12

  I TELL MY FRIENDS TO JOIN AND ONE OF THEM HAS!

  

• kizzie (Age 13) wrote on Tuesday, 31 August 2010 @ 20:37

  how do you get an avatar loads of people have really cool ones

  

• nwilliams wrote on Tuesday, 31 August 2010 @ 21:48

  Thank you so much rockgirl :) That is very kind of you. I hope they like it here too!

  

• nwilliams wrote on Tuesday, 31 August 2010 @ 21:48

  Hi Kizzie. I can make you one, or do you like the one you already have?

  

• hunnibunni (Age 13) wrote on Sunday, 5 September 2010 @ 08:58

  icome on everyday and 1 of my friends has joined

  

• brandybell (Age 13) wrote on Sunday, 5 September 2010 @ 09:30

  You could put a poster so people can print it out and stick up in their school or libery or somewhere like that

  

• rockgirl (Age 11) wrote on Monday, 6 September 2010 @ 19:00

  nic, you could make an advert for the tv, or is it a silly idea?

  

• nwilliams wrote on Tuesday, 7 September 2010 @ 11:39

  These are all really good ideas. hunnibunni - thank you. I hope they like it! brandybell- that is a very, very, very good idea. Thank you. rockgirl - that's a very good idea too but would cost lots of money. We could make an internet advert though.

  

• KiwiCat (Age 13) wrote on Friday, 1 October 2010 @ 17:43

  Mabye you could enter all the names into a random draw of those people who have been on over a certain amount of time for a prize?

  

• Puppylove (Age 10) wrote on Friday, 22 October 2010 @ 16:25

  advitise it on TV Nic!

  

• laurcool (Age 11) wrote on Sunday, 24 October 2010 @ 15:48

  for more people to enter maybe put it in the first news paper to take up quite a lot of space do it more often because i only joined first news when i saw it advertised in the newspaper oh and ps i emailed a reccommendation to my friends of the first news website

  

• laurcool (Age 11) wrote on Sunday, 24 October 2010 @ 15:49

  maybe you could get special points if you go on more than 3 times a week???

  

• nwilliams wrote on Sunday, 24 October 2010 @ 16:51

  Thank you all for your comments. Laurcool - you'll like the new changes we are going to introduce in the next few months.... ;)

  

• Anya2000 (Age 11) wrote on Sunday, 24 October 2010 @ 18:46

  Have a small competion a few time a week, but not a real prize, like queen for a day or the weekly story where we write a short stories to be put up on a page. And maybe more actual competitions and loads more games. I was also wondering if we are able to do weekly collumns in the BORED?! section, you know about what we do with our pets and stuff. And more surveys 'cos I love them!!!

  

• hannii (Age 11) wrote on Tuesday, 26 October 2010 @ 08:15

  yeah, I was thinking that...

  

• gummybear (Age 10) wrote on Tuesday, 26 October 2010 @ 09:27

  i dont get how to get one of your avatars

  

• redhorse10 (Age 13) wrote on Tuesday, 26 October 2010 @ 10:00

  Yeah, I tell my friends about the website. These idedas seem to be helping! Lots of people have avatars now! And more people are joining!

  

• nwilliams wrote on Tuesday, 26 October 2010 @ 10:16

  Which avatars gummybear?

  

• hannii (Age 11) wrote on Tuesday, 26 October 2010 @ 11:00

  you know, the animation ones that we have

  

• Amy-lou (Age 14) wrote on Saturday, 30 October 2010 @ 18:14

  HI urm I think on the newsaper u could advertise like some of the best articles.have article of the week, avatars of the week etc. Also we could have a thing were every time we sign in we get a point and if we win a competition or write an article and stuff we could earn more than 1 point aswell etc. Als0o could we have a thing were it knows our birthday ans if we sign in on our birthdays we get like a happy birthday theme or something and we get extra points because it's a celebration. If you could maybe you could advertise firstnews on other like well known websites like bbc and cbbc and other well known safe/friendly suitable things...

  

• Amy-lou (Age 14) wrote on Saturday, 30 October 2010 @ 18:25

  Could there ever be like a thing where there's like a just chat thing with a topic but without an article like messenger (you could call it first chat or something)but we can only do it like wen it says nic's online so you cud quickly read our comments check if they're suitable and then put them on. And like if we suddenly write something to personal or the conversation spirals you (nic) could hav like special things that say this is notapropriate and stuff because kids theese days do like chat things and stuff...I kno we write comments like this butsometimes it's nice to get an answer straight away ... that would make me go on this all the time even tho i do anyways... Or if you might get bored of always checking the messages it could be like every friday and you could say an hour that you dont mind checkin messages and so thats an hour of disscussing topics then we wait next week for the b=next chat... maybe you could have a different topic every week!

  

• nwilliams wrote on Sunday, 31 October 2010 @ 11:18

  Amy-Lou. Those are all excellent suggestions. We actually have some very, very similar things planned, so great to know that this is what you want! :)

  

• Puppylove (Age 10) wrote on Thursday, 18 November 2010 @ 16:19

  advertise it on tv

  

• Puppylove (Age 10) wrote on Thursday, 18 November 2010 @ 16:20

  put it as a message on the whole of the internet!

  

• heart4 (Age 11) wrote on Sunday, 21 November 2010 @ 21:06

  well i could tell all my friends and you could make flyers and post them to schools and homes across the country.i would also like to say i REALLY,REALLY love the news papers you and your team put together. they get posted to my school every friday and i cant wait for the next newspaper!!!!!!

  

• yugiohguy2 (Age 11) wrote on Sunday, 5 December 2010 @ 20:44

  You could put it in the newspaper and offer a First News cap to the 1st 100 boys to join first news and a first news bracelet to the 1st 100 girls! Or you could sponser channels like Nickelodeon, Nicktoons, Disney Channel, Disney XD and CITV!

  

• zozochoco (Age 14) wrote on Wednesday, 22 December 2010 @ 16:33

  You could have half a page in the newspaper about the website and things on it that week and also have 3/4 different members each week saying what they think about the website :) xoxox

  

• ChooChoo (Age 12) wrote on Tuesday, 11 January 2011 @ 18:01

  i think you could do something where, once you've told someone about the website and they've registered, you could make an article and then all the people you asked to join could comment.

  

• uniquegirl (Age 12) wrote on Friday, 14 January 2011 @ 18:22

  I have a question!! How do you make your name flash up as your avatar. I looked up the website you suggested, but it was no help...

  

• NewsChic13 (Age 11) wrote on Saturday, 22 January 2011 @ 16:52

  nic my friend tried to join using the user name NewsChic28 her parents said yes and she cant get on it please help

  

• nwilliams wrote on Sunday, 23 January 2011 @ 21:35

  I will activate this now :) Tell her it is fixed.

  

• roxiechic (Age 10) wrote on Monday, 24 January 2011 @ 19:15

  well maybe you could have something where the member who went on first news the most in a week could ask you for any avatar they wanted or something like that. To make people register i think you should have an "email your friends!" section where you email you're friends to invite them to join a website, and the email has the link in it. :-)

  

• roxiechic (Age 10) wrote on Monday, 24 January 2011 @ 19:19

  also every week as soon as you went on first news and signed in a sign would come up with a few links and say stuff like New Avatar pages, .......has commented on your article! and stuff like that.

  

• easymail (Age 12) wrote on Sunday, 30 January 2011 @ 13:55

  maybe you could do an article of the week and the person gets a special avatar

  

• amani28 (Age 11) wrote on Tuesday, 8 February 2011 @ 17:12

  Hi Nic where are the Avatars?

  

• amberlily (Age 12) wrote on Monday, 14 March 2011 @ 19:02

  you could let more schools know about first news by handing out leaflets. How do you get an avatar?

  

• minxymoo (Age 13) wrote on Tuesday, 15 March 2011 @ 18:13

  maybe you could do a competition within the members. like the person who comments on the most articles wins. or the person with the best and most creative avatar wins motw or something?!

  

• rhianna9 (Age 10) wrote on Friday, 18 March 2011 @ 09:51

  Every day i come on because i LOVE this website. I manged to persuade my best friend ciara13 to become a member and as you can see she did. She does have an avatar but the problem is she does not go on at least 3 times a week. you probably do not know who she is.

  

• hollykind (Age 10) wrote on Tuesday, 22 March 2011 @ 19:37

  i love this website i only joined yesterday though and rhinna9 persuade me to join im her best freind as well

  

• redhorse10 (Age 13) wrote on Monday, 28 March 2011 @ 16:17

  I introduced Medlars and Chadler to the website when I kept talking about it! :)

  

• nwilliams wrote on Monday, 28 March 2011 @ 17:32

  :) :) :)

  

• twihard (Age 14) wrote on Monday, 28 March 2011 @ 20:25

  tell all your mates and get them to tell there mates etc. you could perhaps put up an advert in first news on the back that fills up the whole back page. u r amazing nic

  

• CandyEllz (Age 11) wrote on Wednesday, 6 April 2011 @ 18:26

  You could advertise in the Newspaper but it could be a competition,for example if you joined you would be entered into a raffle to win something really good like an MP3 Player or something like that.

  

• amani28 (Age 11) wrote on Monday, 11 April 2011 @ 10:46

  You could have more comps and an Avatar page every month?

  

• CandyEllz (Age 11) wrote on Tuesday, 12 April 2011 @ 14:08

  A page where you can show links to good avatars.. :)

  

• CandyEllz (Age 11) wrote on Tuesday, 12 April 2011 @ 14:08

  I already go on this website everyday! :)

  

• hollykind (Age 10) wrote on Tuesday, 12 April 2011 @ 18:51

  i toldmy best freind about it and she wsnts to have the twilight avatar.

  

• smileybear (Age 12) wrote on Wednesday, 13 April 2011 @ 11:56

  Nic, you could say that if you are on first news three times a week then you have more chance of becoming MOTW(member of the week) and if you are member of the week you get a prize or something. And for the avatar thing you could see if you can find a suitable avatar maker to put on the first news website so that when you log in and click on my account you click on change my avatar and then click on the avatar maker and you can save your avatars there to pick from so that you can moderate them.

  

• rhianna9 (Age 10) wrote on Thursday, 21 April 2011 @ 18:20

  Now my brother has joined eb7!

  

• cookie360 (Age 11) wrote on Friday, 29 April 2011 @ 09:03

  I think we should ALL get 3 people we know to join.

  

• MSTREric (Age 8) wrote on Saturday, 21 May 2011 @ 17:25

• ojn9 (Age 10) wrote on Wednesday, 27 July 2011 @ 08:04
