Suggestion for Newbies and some Oldies

I would like to give a suggestion to some of the "newbies" as well as some "oldies" on this discussion board. It would be most helpful if everyone would post in their "About Me" page. I try to read this discussion board daily, but even then, with the amount of new people who have come on recently, it is difficult to keep everyone straight. Many times I click on their names beside their posting to refresh myself as to what their conditions, treatments, stages, etc. are, only to find that they have never filled out this part. It is easy to do, and certainly helps keeps those of us having "senior moments" up to date! Adding a picture is also easy, and I notice I tend to remember people more when there is a picture attached (I am definitely a visual learner!). I know when I first signed up I found the page a little difficult to navigate and didn't have time to really look around for these things, so I thought I would give some directions (Never have found those either!) for filling out the "About Me" profile.

To create your "About me" profile:
* When you log into CNS Home there are 4 columns across the page. The light green one that says "My CSN Account" lists "About Me page" and underneath that it says "Create/View/Edit".
* You can click on Edit and it will take you to a page that says "My CSN space" followed by an edit button. Beneath that it has tabs that say "About Me" "Picture" "Preferences" and "Survey".
* Click on the About Me tab and it will bring up questions for you to answer. In this section you can actually pick the questions you want to answer.
* When done, done forget to click on the "Submit" button at the bottom of the page!
* If you wish to add a picture, just click on the "Picture" tab and upload a picture from your personal files.
* If you would like to be able to receive private messages, click on the "Preference" tab and check the boxes halfway down the page that says "Private message settings". Again don't forget to click on the "Submit" button at the bottom of the page.
* Also, if you are on the CSN home page, and click on "Create" under the red "About Me page" heading, you will see "about me", "expressions", "resources" and "blog". This is where you can get more creative and add your own personal story, blog, poem, photo, etc.

Hope this is some help, and hope to see a lot more "About Me" pages completed in the future
