New ning community!

We now have a networking community on ning.com. This is a place where you can

• post your favorite pictures & let us see what you look like, if you want
• add friends and exchange messages with them
• read and post on a forum
  
• have a blog of your own and read other blogs
  
• leave comments in response to blog postings
  
• leave messages on walls of other members (the wall is a place for messages on their ning page)
  
• post videos and music (but be careful of copyright laws)
  
• reach out to others in other ning communities

Ning is similar to myspace or facebook, but it's classier and focused on networks. You don't need to give your real name when you sign up; just an email address. People visiting our site will only see your user name. To join, login our room and click the link there, or go to the community page and click "sign up" on the right.

Let me know what you think. I haven't turned on all the features. I haven't set up groups since I don't think we're big enough yet to bother with that. We might well turn those on in the future.
