Top 10 Tips to get your project on the front page...

Here is a list I came up with for how to get your project on the first page.

1. Advertise your project in the forums

2. Use an interesting title for your project

3. Get your project screenshot to look interesting. To get the perfect screenshot, stop your project, drag your sprites to where you want them to be, and click upload.

4. Tell your friends, tell them to tell their friends, and so on.

5. Post as many projects as you can, this increases your chances of getting your projects on the front page.

6. The more popular you are as a scratcher, the more people will want to look at your projects.

7. Get yourself some fans, people that are constantly looking at your projects.

8. Know what type of projects people are looking for, if the average project is focused around ninjas, then make a ninja game.

9. Make sure there are as little bugs as possible before uploading.

10. Work hard on your project and make it the best it can be.

11. Never Give Up! Even when you've decided to quit Scratch (hopefully that wont happen!) come back to it one day and try again.

You are forgetting the most important thing.

11. Work hard on your project and make it the best it can be.

But if you are making a mario or naruto project it might get frontpage regardless.

And make sure that if you see your project on the front page, TAKE A SNAPSHOT!!

Good tips, but why would I want to take snapshots of my projects on the front page?

Lol you don't get it do you. Before you upload a project you want to upload, play your game to the part that you want people will see you project as, then press stop, then upload. Then when other people go to your profile, the icon for that project will become that part of the project.

Uhh... I don't think that is what he meant lucario. He said to take a picture of your project on the frontpage.
