And that's starting to show. + +## Who made what? + +There was a time when showcase posts were attributed by a name or description. Like _tony made this_. +At one point, we assigned them to the username, but because users can change their username, such a system decays into chaos over time. + +We'd like to address this growing library of showcase posts and make sure that as many as possible are properly credited to their makers. + +For this reason, we've implemented a few changes: + +- Showcase posts are now assigned to the user's FreeSewing ID. +- When a showcase post is credited like this, we'll show the user's bio under the post +- When there is no user credited, we will show a button to either claim this post as your own, or suggest another user in case you know who is the maker. + +This way, given some time and collective effort, we hopefully will soon enough have properly credited all posts. + + +##### What is my FreeSewing ID? + +You can find your FreeSewing ID on [your account page](/account) or go to [FreeSewing.org/id](/id). + +## Next steps + +The first thing to do is to make sure everything is properly credited. + +Afterwards, we can use this link between the showcase post and user to -- for example -- show a list of showcase posts on a user's profile. + +If you have your own showcase posts on FreeSewing, please go ahead and claim them. Or if you know who made them, let us know. + +## Also applies to blog posts + +The same principle applies to blog posts, but since all but 2 posts on the site are written by that same dude, it's not really something where we need you help. + +That being said, it does give you a good idea of what things will look like, as you can see below.
