Networking
Join us at our Ning networking site to learn about events and resources and take part in conversations. Here's some tips to help you make the best of the technology....
Ning sites have a lot of features that can seem confusing at the beginning. Read through this note to help you get the skinny.
The Header: At the top of each page is a link to other pages: groups, events, forums, videos, photos, members, my page, and invite. These can be modified by administrators.
To know what's going on: At the bottom of discussions, groups, and a few other pages, is a link that says "Follow".... If you click on this button, you will get an e-mail notification when someone adds content to that group or discussion, etc. You must choose this option for each group / discussion / forum that you want to follow. You can also choose to "stop following." Every once in a great while, ning will re-set this option. If it's too quiet you might look at that setting.
Your Page: Each member has her own page. Pictures, blogs, notes, events, movies, all kinds of information about you can be shared on your page.
Groups: Members can add a group. We could have a group just interested in permaculture and natural building or compost or interns etc. . . If you see the need for a group, just let me know, and I'll be happy to help you set that up.
Events: Please post relevant and interesting event details! The same with discussions and forums.
There are lots of possibilities here. Please use them and help us celebrate the growth of permaculture in our home community.
