Celebrating CMAD 2024 with a thank you
This month, we recognize and celebrate the efforts of community managers around the world using different platforms and tools to build stronger communities, along with better customer experiences.
This year, we want to flip CMAD on its head a bit and instead share my appreciation for everyone who has helped me build, and who continues to help me build, community here on Atlas.

How can you make it easier for Google to crawl your community site, Mercedes_O asks? Claudius chimed in with a helpful and thorough response, including custom code, and even created a separate how-to write-up. Way to go!
Just how much can you restrict visibility of different areas of your community? CarolineS and Claudius were happy to explain. Great answers and great question mmeagher!
There's all kinds of neat platform functionality in sometimes unexpected places. StanGromer found one such feature related to column sorting in Analytics that made his work more efficient and called it out for others. We appreciate it, Stan!
