1. Discovering
"Now that I have been using the interactive map for a week or so, well, I found SEVERAL organizations of interest to me, all just a few blocks away, so it's great! Some of these are: Medicin Sans Frontier Quebec, Net Impact and Defenders of the Land to name a few. I have registered and will be attending my first meeting with Net Impact."

Hi James. That tutorial page is linked on the second page of this tutorial on 'Connecting'. Cheers, ~Bowo

This page is the 'getting started' link from the current 'getsatisfaction' support page. How about including info to help members complete their profile? This help is currently omitted from the wiserearth sign-up process as well. I'd love to see wiserearth find a way to provide this help at every stage (rather than none) so the site can grab hold of its potential as an active sustainability community. James |

Hi Spencer,
If you use either Firefox, Chrome, Flock or Thunderbird for your emails, try using the WiseStamp extension/addon. There's a tutorial on their website on how to include an image on your email signature(s).

How do I add Wiser Earth logo, previously downloaded as jpeg to desktop, to my emails please? I can copy & paste it from desktop into a new word document but cannot copy from either into email. Thanks, Spencer. |

Thanks Joseph for posting here. Welcome to WiserEarth and great to hear that you've already found an organization through the site not far from you.

is there a way to bypass all the hoopla surrounding joining.... and allowing indiviuduals to come back later and complete. i posted my response on the next page to this..... I need a way for people i invite to participate in discussion and join a group to just be able to join WE with say a user name and password like most other sites and then come back later and fill in their profiles.
The ideal world would be we would have a Wiser Angel on board 24x7 to IM with newcomers and introduce them to what might be of interest, sorta create their profile along with them ..... NOW that would be something completely different (or not ....) kinda like what they do in Second Life when you join..... maybe we need to create a tutorial session in Second Life. Are we there yet? |

This is awesome. It's a good resource for people and organizations with like minds to connect with each other. Great job!

HI, I have just joined onto this site, thank you for having me.. I am a current student studying business, my vision is to implement the skills I learn to help people in poverty and or remote communities to live self sustaining lives. I am hoping to learn more about individuals and organizations that are out there doing this type of work and how I can get involved. Sanguis, Locket |

Go to Help Desk and see Wikipages tutorial step 2. Only Youtube video, Google video and Current.tv video can be embedded and played in WiserEarth. No time limit.
