Be patient with these new Ning forums, at least it's still free, right? although the creator of their own social network can upgrade, and then pay something for additional more user friendly applications, perhaps, most of us will continue to use what is free, what is free internet. May come a day, when there will be no such thing as free internet, social networking.
Also may come a day, we will have to purchase air to breath! God forbid!
So be patient, there's a lot we can do with a ning platform, just by experimenting, taking a risk, clicking on some silly button that we didn't have the courage to click on before, can sometimes reveal some tech idea that we hadn't come across before..another door opens in the mind, of another possibility for communication with one another. Also there is applications out there, for free, which can be added to your own profile page, you can sort of build a home away from home, if you wish, by making it to your liking.
You can add videos, music, pop in some images, just have fun with it. you can write a journal here, or make your very own social networking place, you can gather around you just your own friends; here's how you do that; over to the right, there's this little box: it says About.
then it has my name there, laughingRain created this social network.
then below that, it says "create your own social network."
click on that, and it walks you through the process.
Remember, it's free, it's fun, much better than watching TV.
however, I hope to make more friends here, who will give me a wave now and then. stay as long as you like and make merry, no selling however of goods is allowed, because when we want to buy something, we can google it ourselves, right?
This is just a place to make friends. peace!
