An Easier Way to Add Items

This site used to have a cumbersome way of adding new items that was not worth the effort for most users. Now, all you have to do to add a new item is click the New tab towards the top of the screen or go to www.howhappy.org/new.

First, type in the new thing you want to add to the site. We will check if it is a duplicate, so don't worry about that.

Second, fill in the CAPTCHA. We added this step to help eliminate spam from the database. If you can't make out the words, click the little refresh button and it will load two new words.

Once you're finished, click Submit.

If everything is successful, you will be taken immediately to the new page where you can vote on it.

If, for some reason, you typed something wrong, don't worry. We still review each submission and will fix any typos. Still, you can always contact us if you want to make changes.

Keep visiting the site because more new features are coming.
