About Brokies

So what's a brokie, anyway?

A brokie is what we lovingly call a "broken thingie" - something we all encounter in everyday life, things that are almost right, but not perfect in one way or another. Sometimes it's a product that wasn't completely thought through, sometimes it's a product that you're using in a way not forseen by the manufacturer, and sometimes it's just the way something is done that doesn't work for your particular need.

Ok, so what's brokies.com?

Brokies.com is a place for sharing, commenting or solving brokies. You can raise ratings for brokies you find interesting, and lower ratings for the ones you don't like. You can also tag brokies - any brokies on the site, whether you posted them or not.

What are tags?

Tags allow you to associate a category or a subject with a brokie - any brokie on the site, all you need is an account. Tagging a brokie makes it easy to find through the tag cloud, where brokies are displayed grouped by their tags. You can assign multiple tags to a brokie - as long as they fit.

Do I need an account?

You don't need an account, but having one allows you to do much more on the site. As a guest, you can browse all brokies and solutions, read comments, and rate existing brokies - that's pretty much it. An account allows you to post new brokies, solve existing ones, comment, tag and fully enjoy the site in general. Go on, create one, it's free!

Nice color scheme. Props?

Thanks, but we can't take all the credit. The design is based on the blog of Kaushal Sheth, at www.kaushalsheth.com.

Is this it?
