The JAPUNDIT New Pages are very lively, with new members joining almost daily. Thanks to all of the members who are doing so much to make the site a success.

A high level of activity also increases the possibility that some overlap will occur in the stories being posted.

The following are some ways contributors can help avoid multiple posting of the same story.

1. Before starting to post a new story, use the search box in the right side bar to search for a key word in your story. If your story is about polar bears, for example, searching for “polar bear” is a good way to find out if your intended topic already has been covered.

2. As you enter a URL, title, and description on the “submit story” tab, a list of related stories will appear at the bottom of the tab. Check these stories to see if someone already has posted something similar.
