Go to My Account, check off that you understand you will lose one Karma point, then click Turn It On.

Thanks! I knew there was a way to do it but could not remember how.

Yeah, it is a little trickier because it is not tied to "My Profile." And you are welcome!

On a related note, is there any reason not to just do that after attaining Plurkvana, are there advantages to high karma past that point?

Lots of folks do that, and I did it for a time.

Once you've reached Nirvana, the only time you get new smileys is if you have invited ten ffriends, I think.

Since I don't have ten friends, I am beat!

Why are you deplurking for NoNo? I thought the whole point of NaNo was to write the thing during your regular chaotic life?

That's what I'm planning to do, I'll keep plurking, and even post my word count here on a daily basis.

I plan on posting, but we have 3 shows at the performing arts School my kids go to, Christmas Shows in my Art Gallery, and 4 Trials at work.

so I decided not to be distracted by Karma if this is wha falls by the wayside.

While I love hearing from you, in the grand scheme of things, plurk is pretty inconsequential, so focusing on what is important makes sense.
