How to get started

This is from an response to a new member's questions on getting started:



Post a photo. To do this, browse to find the file on your computer then make sure to go to bottom of the page and click "Save."


You can create a more detailed profile on your "My Page." To do this, scroll
down in the middle column of your My Page, where you will see a blank
"text box." I used this box to create a mini-profile with links to my
company, blog, Twitter, etc. (To create a link, just highlight the text you
want to appear, click the link icon in the edit bar and enter the URL). You can
move the location of the text box by putting the cursor over it, clicking and
moving it up or down in the column.


I suggest that you share your books and articles in the resources section. Please put a link in the text to a location where folks can find that resource. Post each
one separately. Then folks can comment and/or talk to you about each one. The
"tags" section is a way to tell the search engines (and folks that
search our site) what is in the post. So tag it with the word for the kind of
media (book, article, white paper, etc) and also for the key ideas of the
resource. As an aside, a link back to your site from a site such as this is
good for your own ranking in search engines.


To talk about your interests, the best thing to do is to create discussions. Put out an
idea and then ask the community a question. This can be the best way to get to
know other folks.


To get in touch with others with similar interests, check out what they have written on the site and visit their profiles. As we all write more, this will become a
richer experience. Over time, we may well start to form sub-groups. I explain
this in the About >Using this site (on the green navigation bar).


Keep the questions and ideas coming. Have a question? Feel free to contact us. I look forward to building this community with you!
