Okay let's get started on graphics, tutorials/guides, affiliates/partners, staff, extra widgets, and topsites.
Graphics
When you go to sites, you always see something that says: DO NOT STEAL!. It can be annoying, but it is worth it. You will fill bad if someone stole your graphics and changed the credit on it. Or just put bad things about your graphics. Well, the only thing you have to do is to get proof the graphic is yours by putting "yoursitename.com" on it. Or you can say "Your site name (c)Copyright". Make sure you put that on the graphic you made. And also check your staff's graphics and check if it is stolen or if it doesn't have credit on it or it can be easily stolen. Okay got the do and don't on graphics? Okay let go to the next topic.
Tutorials & Guides
Tutorials are like for HTML, PHP, webmaster, and graphic making. Guides are mostly Neopets Help. They are easy to make, it is like have your own class and teaching everyone everything except in words. When you make a tutorials or guides, make sure you put something that say that the tutorial or guide is yours and you made it. This is really simple.
Affiliates & Partners
Affiliates and partners are for being friends and talk to each other, not to get more hits. I like getting affies cause they are nice and like to give help if you have a question. If you ask my partners, we like to talk alot. Most sites, like ours, are gonna have requirments on being a affie on a site. You may have to have a certain amount of hits everyday, or even unique hits. Partners have the same thing but always have to have alot of unique hits a day. Really confusing, huh? Well that is how affiliates and Partnership go.
Staff
Staff is really important. The more the staff, the faster you get content on your site. But the bad thing is that it is hard to find staff these days. Like it is hard for CLG to find staff. I am the owner but hate doing all the work myself. You could even get staff by having a staff lounge. You can see that CLG has a staff lounge for staff, and it is really fun.
Extra Widgets & Topsites
Topsites are for keeping up with your stats. It is important to do so. Every week, Mikki would print out a stat sheet and look how popular our site is getting. If you are the ones that come almost everyday, thank you very much. It is really hard to get more visitors every day. Now going to extra widgets, this is like music, counters, online users counter, chatbox, and etc. are for entertaining visitors that comes to the site daily. Some may think it is annoying. But do not put like 3 counters, 5 chatboxes, and DO NOT put your music loud on your site. The site you get the playlist for your site should have a volume bar for you to adjust the sound.
Finishing the site
When you think your site is ready to open, open it and get some affies and partners. I am telling you, it is fun having a site. When your site becomes better, try to get a top level domain, like .com or .net. Well if you have any questions email admin.clgraphics@gmail.com. See ya!
