Hi everyone,
This is the 'Getting started' group where you can ask questions about using the online network.
Some places in the Network where you can find help:
- Have a look at the Network Questions and Answers page -- this provides answers to the most commonly asked questions
- Download the simple user guide on the Network 'help' page-- this provides some simple information on how to register for the Network, how to set up your profile, and how to connect with other users.
- Read the Network posting guidelines.
- Read the network tips posts (including how to control your Privacy settings).
If you're looking for a way to start connecting with others, just introduce yourself by leaving a 'comment' on our Get Connected post (if you use the most recent one, people are more likely to find see your post).
If you want to ask a question here (or help someone else), you'll need to join the group first. Once you've joined you will be able to create a blog post with a question or leave a comment with an answer.
Get Connected Day!
Hi all!
First off, welcome to all of you who've joined in the first few weeks of this year. I thought it would be a good time for a "Get Connected Day" post -- first for 2011. :)
So, for everyone who's new, and those who haven't posted yet, here's your chance to introduce yourself by leaving a comment here, or by making a post in your own blog.
Notification email format suggestion
Hi Di / CMS admin,
Is there any chance that the "auto" email notification sent out to personal email includes the Blog "Title" field ?
For example
Prefer this version (with ref to Blog title, eg. Tearing my hair out") ==> visible at www.bcna.org.au when I log in ...
Greetings chemostyle,
Julie P has posted a comment on the blog entry 'Tearing my hair out!'.
Using the network -- tags
One of the most common questions I get asked is "how do I find posts on a particular topic?"
You can always use the search bar (just above the main navigation) and then look for results labelled 'blog post', but another really good way to manage content so that people can find it by topic is to have an effective tag system.
Get Connected Day!
Hi all!
We've had a lot of new members join the last few weeks, so it seems a good time for a "Get Connected Day" post. :)
So, for everyone who's new, and those who haven't posted yet, here's your chance to introduce yourself by leaving a comment here, or by making a post in your own blog.
As always, the purpose of the Get Connected post is to provide a place where you can widen your connections, so everyone is welcome.
very new member
Hey Everyone
I was diagnosed on the 26th July and had a mastectomy on 4th August. I had 2 tumors in my right breast , and in 2 lymph nodes. I need chemotherapy and radiation which I start next week. I feel like I am in a bubble all alone and no one can see me or hear me yelling for them to wake me up from this nightmare. So here I am on the computer looking for others who feel like me, is anyone out there walking around with a lump in your chest just wishing you could scream out loud??
