Hello and Good Morning Everyone

              Thanks so much for the insightful feedback given here.  Once I choose a domain name for my academic site, I am wondering what I can do to encourage visitors to come to it.  Social media networks such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc are probably good avenues.  Also, picking out keywords for the title domain name which will be optimized for search engines such as Google, Yahoo, etc. should help as well.  However, I am unsure on the logistics for accomplishing that one.  

               Any input given to this followup question will be greatly appreciated.

               Thank you

               George

Hello

             I just noticed the new addition of Good Answer.  How can I manipulate a star rating for each reply given?

            Thanks

            George
Hi George,

You're very welcome — happy to help! I wish you the best of luck with your academic site.

Re manipulating the grading (A/B/C) for each reply, I don't know if you can do that now (I haven't submitted a question since the recent launch of the new site). I do know that you can click the new "Good Comment?" or "Good Solution?" button to upvote a post, but that's not the same as giving individual A/B/C grades to answers. To find that out, I recommend joining an EE Group called Site Support:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/groups/Site-Support.html

After you join by clicking the big blue "Join Group" button in the upper right, post your question there and I'm confident you'll get an answer. Regards, Joe
