3. New Feature: "React" to posts at Rotation.org
You can now leave your reaction to individual posts by selecting from one of several "reaction emojis." Just roll over the smiley + face icon and select an emoji to let the author and others know how you feel about the post. This is a step beyond our old "liking and bookmarking" feature. Use it to call attention to posts you really like and to thank the author.
We are Christian educators too and we're here for you.
If you have a need or question, don't hesitate to post it in the Help Forum or private message one of us.
We appreciate your support of this labor of love. If you haven't yet become a supporting member, please consider it today.
