Do I have to use a photo of myself?

If you're bashful or camera shy, we provide some sample photos to choose from, or you can go with the ever-popular image of a kitty cat. Suggestion: People respond better to images of individuals within their own species. Just a suggestion. Plus, people are 10 times more likely to read posts with photos. Thumbnails are hot.

What does clicking on "Jam" and "Slam" do?

If you really like someone's blog post, click on the "Jam" button to give it a point. Blogs with the most "Jams" are featured at the top of the lists.

If you really hate a blog post, find it offensive and/or offensively stupid, click on the "Slam" button to vote it down to the very bottom of the lists.

Can I "Jam" or "Slam" the same post more than once?

Unlike the state of Florida, PeopleJam policy is one vote per person. However, if you're hellbent on Slamming or Jamming the same post more than once, you can do so by creating multiple user accounts registered at different email addresses. Do you really have that much time on your hands? Wow.
