  I use the collections in a variety of ways and change what I have pinned depending on mood. Try pinning it sometimes. I'd change the title card to add a small line "haiku in the title" so they know where to read the haiku. Because you have the Van Gogh summary turned on, the summary shows instead of the title when you float your mouse over an image. So they have to click on an image to pop it larger to read the haiku. Letting them know it's there would be cool as some people do visual haikus without a poem.

  Thanks very much. I always intened it to be an image in a pinned collection with a link to the haiku collection on NC. And is so often the way, never got around to that 🤣 - And then I stopped with the pinned collection. It was intended to try and farm likes on most popular images, from people visiting the page. Then I decided it was contrary to the "likes don't matter (so much)" ethos. So not by defauly I assume a visitor just sees the most recently published images

  Maybe I will. perhaps should also turn off that summary thing. - that said, I worked myself into a state where I simply 'publish, share in three large public rooms and forget'. I see the number of likes received notifications when reaching those numbers, but worked hard to manage my 'likes addiction'

  @DavidP I don't know what the room ref is. NC has rooms with challenges but I don't really understand their function as people don't seem to talk but just drop unrelated pics. I was going to make a room with my challenge here but it said I needed a higher tier account so I gave them up. I wonder if "likes addiction" is indicative of the level of use. Like Beginners/Newbies get into likes and liking people back. But I've noticed after I got to be a certain size, that was no longer feasible. So then it's about comments and challenges? And then after that the social? Not sure. Just thinking about the stages of use/interactions.
