Thus far, out concept for the Instruction tab has involved either creating a form of sorts that users can follow in constructing their own poetry or simply adding definitions of different verse forms that they can consult during their writing process. I wonder if at some point we could make this section of the website even more interactive, especially since it seems pretty static at this point. Here are a couple ideas, I thought up (though they’re based on what I’ve seen on other websites):

• Interviews with poets that focus on their writing process that users can watch to get tips on their own process.
• A chat function so users can either workshop live with other users or a featured poet (I imagine this latter option would be limited to a set number of users).
• In-person workshops that we, the creators, organize in various cities. The leader of the workshop would be required to video it and attendees would submit versions of the poems both before and after the workshop for the website.

Overall, I think this would make the website much more dynamic and interactive. Perhaps we could even start publishing our own poetry magazine to take advantage of features unique to the print medium, like whitespace.
