When iReport.com launched a few months ago, we started off with a set of Community Guidelines that set the ground rules for the site. What's welcome, what's not, what's news. It's pretty simple by design, just a framework for all of us to lean on as we build a brand new kind of news site. But now that we're several weeks and thousands of stories in, it might be time to look at them again. Do you see something that's missing? Let's talk about it in the comments.

Many of you come over to iReport.com hoping to upload a great story based on an iReport topic you saw on CNN.com. If you're not already a registered user, we understand that the current experience is not ideal, as you hit the registration page right away. We're working to fix that. Starting in early April, visitors coming over from a CNN.com story will be able to see more details on the topic we're asking for contributions on, as well as browse all of the great iReports that have already come in, right away. Then, we hope you'll take the time to register or sign in and add your own story.

In the meantime, when you hit that page, we'd really appreciate it if you take the time to register on the site and upload your photos, videos, and audio using our upload forms. Please don't use the small "Feedback" links you see next to the logo to send us your stories. Instead, click on that link to give us some feedback on the site itself. We'd love to hear your thoughts on site design, usability, feature requests, bug reports, and anything else you want to let us know.

In the week or so since we rolled out the beta site, many of you have taken the time to send us your thoughts through the feedback links found throughout the site. We really appreciate it! Thanks to everyone who has given us some insight into how we can improve this site and make it more useful and user-friendly for everyone (and please keep it coming!).

Many of you have told us that you found the beta site engaging, visually appealing, easy to use, and that you'd even recommend it to your friends (thanks, we hope you do!). You also told us you were able to find what you were looking for easily, and that you enjoyed rating, sharing, and commenting on iReports. We're paying special attention to your feature requests. Soon, you'll be able to utilize RSS feeds, embed iReport videos into your own blogs and sites, and have the ability to edit your story after it has been submitted. If any part of your experience on the site was less than ideal today, please let us know about it so that we can fix it -- your input is invaluable to us as we keep working to get it right during the beta period.

Have some feedback for us? We welcome anything from compliments to complaints, and we read it all. Look for the Feedback link next to the iReport logo on all pages, and let us know your thoughts. We'll do our best to address your input.
