Ning: Your Ning Settings

After you log on to Ning (see this earlier post for what to do if you are having trouble logging on), you can change your settings. Just click on the My Settings link in the upper-right hand corner box:


Here are some of the settings you might want to change:

Email Address: This is how you log on to Ning. If you created your account with one email address and want to change it to a different email address, you can do that. Just click the Change link, and enter the email address you want to use.


Name: This is the name that is displayed for all your posts and comments at the Ning. Please feel free to use your nickname here! So, if you are officially Anthony but everybody calls you Tony, then put Tony in the name field - and please include your last name, since there may very well be other folks in the Ning who have the same first name.

Photo: You can use a photograph as your profile photo, or you can use any kind of image you prefer (a graphic design, cartoon character, etc.). To change your photo, just click on the photo icon, and follow the instructions for uploading a photo:


Email Notifications: You can change your email notifications by clicking on the Email link under the Settings menu on the left. By default, you get email notifications when people leave comments for you, but you can also choose to turn off those email notifications.
