Description
As discussed in yesterday's tech meeting, as part of the publicity/user support of the 1.7/'My Commons' function, implement a 'More about MyCommons' or the like link in the persistent empty real estate on the top right.
Assigning to Samantha for her comments.

I'm imagining this is a persistent link on the upper right corner of the page (see attached mock-up) that says "Learn About My Commons", or similar wording, and leads to the My Commons codex page or blog post.

Thanks, Samantha. I don't know how this might affect layout on the page. Do you think that a simpler approach, like a question mark icon could work in place of the text link?
Good point, Matt. That could especially be an issue on mobile. But I think a question mark is too vague unless it can be placed close to the words 'My Commons'.
I'm open to shorter link text or other suggestions to take up less space. I'll think about this more, but in the interest of efficiency I'm adding Chris and Boone as watchers to see if they have any ideas.
Another option is to go with the long text for now (a bit obtrusive but highly visible), and plan to swap it out with something smaller in a few months, once members are used to it.
Sounds like a good plan to me, Boone!
Once the My Commons tab has been around for a while the explanation should no longer be necessary.
I'm fine with text, but can we shorten it a bit? Maybe "About My Commons" rather than "Learn More About My Commons"?
I think we should test on a mobile device, too, given the concerns Chris raised yesterday.
"About My Commons" would be great. I'll make sure to test it on mobile once it's there.
Thanks!

Great. Assigning to Boone for implementation.
Thanks. Do we know yet what URL the link will point to?
