Using The Web Site

• Forming Your Group
Choose 'Groups' from the top navigation and click on '+Add a Group' at the top right. Fill in the details requested about the name of your group, a short description of what you do and your meeting location. Assign a mascot or other group picture and upload the image. On the right you'll be asked about features. Choose Comments, Discussion Forum and Text Box (not RSS Reader). Allow members to send messages to the entire group and set the privacy setting to 'Moderated Membership'.

• Invite New Members
Invite your good friends - invite friends who enjoy these discussions and are keen to get ahead. Click the 'Invite' tab and manually enter their email addresses. Or, if you have lots of friends and family who are managing the purse strings, import your address book and choose their email addresses. An invitation will be sent only to the addresses you select. You can either import addresses from your email account or from your address book application. It's easier than it sounds. Follow the prompts on screen.

• Communicate to the Group
Under the 'Groups' tab, you'll see the latest postings. Here's your chance to respond to those posts in the 'Add a Comment' field. Or start a discussion by adding a photo of your latest find or a video related to your book. Or goad a group member who hasn't done their homework.

• Your Page
What's pulling at your purse strings? Write it on your Wall and members can leave suggestions or support one-to-one. These posts do not appear in the main group page. Your post will stay here until you update this page next.

• Settings
Here's where you can manage and modify your social network settings. Click on your name at the top right next to the search field and choose 'Settings' from the sub-menu. You can update your profile if your personal information has changed since you joined. You can also turn email notifications on and off. Are you lost? Connect with our moderator for help.
