Story Link and Member Profile

Hello hello!
We've been putting together some more mock-ups for future pages and we wanted to share them with you for comments.

The first one came from YOU, dear PoPs! We heard that you wanted your story to be something that is a part of your profile. You wanted to be able to click a member's name and get to a link to that member's story.

So, a feature we're considering is called "StoryLink". When people post a story in the "Share Your Story" section, they will see a little checkbox at the bottom that says "Make this 'My Story'". If checked, a link to the story will be displayed on their profile.

See "Share Story Template" below

Speaking of the member profile, we're looking at new ways to design that too. If you remember, we're going to be collecting more information from members. Much of this info will appear on the member profile. I've attached a version below.

See: Member Profile 1.0

Also, please remember that these are just ideas at this point- nothing has been decided or set in stone. We would love to hear your thoughts...

Hi All-

Yes, I also like that you can add more than one picture...it will be neat to see these babies "grow up"....makes the stories more real and more incredible...nice to have a picture with the stories anyway...

Also, I was thinking - I do like that you can have a link to your story....but is there a way to SAVE on your page - posts that were impacting for you, for one reason or another...like something maybe advocacy wise or growth and devleopment that you check often, just not all of the time...as maybe 1. a reminder for you to keep tabs on it 2. a quick link without searching 3. just let's other people know a little bit more about you

Lee and Nancy, you both are amazing...and we are very grateful for all of the hard work that you put forth in devleoping this website!

    Re: Story Link and Member Profile

    Melissa, yes, there is a way to mark messages you want to save. You can click on the little "bookmark" button by any message. That will open a page called "Message center" where you can add a little note to yourself. Then any time you want to find those "marked" messages, you can just click again on Message Center. Make sense?

    Love it!!

    Love the Story Link!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What brilliant PoPs we have!!

    Two comments...
    1. Will bloggers be able to link their blogs to their member profile?
    2. Is the wording set in stone? To simplify things instead of saying "you can easily add a link to your story to your profile using the check-box at the bottom" could it read "you can easily link your story and your profile by using the check-box at the bottom." I know, I know...picky, picky, picky!

    You guys are the best!!!!!!! Oh and I also have to tell you I love the pictures and the slideshow option on the profile!! WOW!!! You guys have thought about everything!!!!

    Big High Five and then a hug!
    Michele

    Re: Love it!!

    Great ideas folks! I'll just second Nancy and make sure that links to blogs will also be added to the profile. I'm thinking that might just be a default- if you start a blog, you *automatically* get a link on your profile that says something like "Read My Blog: "Blog Name here"

    Seasons of change!!

    WOW!! I've been away for a few days and haven't been online....serious withdrawals going on!!

    Anyway...so much has changed in a few short days. You guys have been busy. Things look great...very clear...easy to follow.

    I guess I'll have to go back in and change some of my preferences in my profile too.

    As the title says...a season of change...in the outside world as well as in this wonderful online world called SHARE!

    Great job everyone!
