That said we can experiment with alternative calls to action.<br><br>Thanks for checking out Diddit! Hi Dave – Thanks for the feedback!

You can click around and explore the site in read only mode and see all the pages, you only need to signup when you want to start didditing (which creates writes to our database). That said we can experiment with alternative calls to action.

Thanks for checking out Diddit!
