Finding a spot
There are three primary ways to find spots that fit your interests, which is really the whole point of the site. 
The first (examples are marked with "1" in the illustration) is by reading the lists on the main page of the site ('fanpop home'): it's entirely possible that some content displayed there is of interest to you, whether it be a spotlit spot,...

You all have probably gone to a fellow fanpopper's profile and wondered how they made it look to good. Some of us have no idea how to do it. I myself had to asked my amazing girlfriend (link) how she created hers. So, we came up with a great idea to write a how-to article. :D

A quick little guide to customizing your poop oot!
What is this pop-out you speak of?
The pop-out button is on the left side of your screen and provides access to your favorite clubs at all times. This way you don't have to go to your profile or use the search to navigate between clubs. HA HA kidding..I know nobody ever uses the search!
By default your poop-out will have your most active clubs displayed for easy access.
How are the clubs shown selected?
Your most active clubs are in your pop-oot...

"Journeyman" videos in the travel spot. *sigh* (image credit to Cinders)
Yesterday, I was fanpoping. I come across the link spot- And went to videos. link is what I saw. There were apple pie videos there. Submitted by Hulu.
link are some images by other fanpopers reporting this.
Hulu's videos should NOT be done by a webcrawler. (or whatever you call it) Dave, either have a manual team do hulu's videos, or dont do it at all.
EDIT: as amazondebs says in the comments, Fanpop isen't even getting paid for hulu's videos. What is the purpose of having them here?
(Another) EDIT: more of this maddness. and in link spot!
Creators of Fanpop,
This really is a fantastic site, it is like a
cooler, safer Facebook in my opinion. But, there
has been a decline in users, and not any increase. One thing is the new default style is less user friendly and a lot of people don't like it. So, you could make the old fanpop style the default style, or make the option to change to it more obvious. There is also the issue of a lack of advertisement; I had literally never known or even seen anything about this site until late March this year. I have never seen an ad for this website in my life. If it is to expensive or the ads just aren't being shown in a lot of places you could at least encourage people to share it with others.
