Ads are gross and we hate them. We're using them to make our site sustainable. If you want to browse Poeticous free of horrible ads, just make a small monthly pledge. Any amount will do. It's good karma and you'll be supporting poetry. Thanks!!!

We have programmed a few search operators that allow you to refine your search. The operators are:

For example, a search for

love      has:analysis      has:translation      has:media

will return all the poems that contain the word "love", that have an analysis, a Spanish translation, and have Youtube videos or cover photos.

It's easy: go to the page of the person you want to message and click the little envelop below the person's name. Then, type your message in the box that appears in the cover-photo area and click the arrow below the right corner to post it. The message will be there for the recipient to read when he signs in.

To reply to a message posted in your page, click the reply button at the right end of the text box. It will take you to the sender's page where you can type your reponse and post it.

There's a little camera right below the Poeticous logo, on the top-left corner of the page. Click the camera and select whether to pick a picture from our album or to upload your own photo. After the photo has been selected, drag it to adjust it if needed, click the check mark in the bottom-right corner and wait for the file to upload. Then, apply a filter if you want and click the new check mark.

For better results, use high definition images that are at least 1000 pixels wide. A great source of wonderful images, royalty free, is www.unsplash.com. Just go there, search what you want, download it to your computer and upload it to your profile or your poems in Poeticous.

There are two ways:

1) Go to your main page and click the pencil above your biography, then hover over your profile picture and click on the little camera that appears.

2) Click the little person-icon at the top-right of the menu and hover over your profile picture to click on the little camera that appears.
