What’s in the Nourish Network Member Area?
Think of the Nourish Network Member Area like Facebook for foodies, only with the opportunity to take the conversation to a deeper level. You can create your own profile, find others with similar interests, see what they’re reading, watching and cooking, and share what you are too. You can also dig deeper into the topics covered on Nourish Network in the Conversation area.
Getting started in the Member Area
Here’s a quick tour and 3 tips to get you started in the Member Area once you’ve joined Nourish Network:
1. In My NourishNetwork (which you can access in the Member Area drop down of the main navigation bar), Click on Edit Profile and fill out the questions and add your photo so people can get to know you.
2. Click on ‘public’ under the Profile tab of the Member Area toolbar and then click in the green box. Type in a Status Update to let people know what you’re up to.
3. Click on the Friend tab of the Member Area toolbar and then click the ‘browse members’ link on the left. Browse through members and click the Add Friend to expand your circle.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does my profile work?
Once you set up your profile and sign-in to Nourish Network, all of your activity is tracked on your profile page. So your friends can see what you’re reading and cooking, and what you’ve said in comments and conversation. To see a snapshot of what your friends have been up to, click on the Activity tab in the Member area and then My Friends.
How do the groups work?
Each group centers around a topical area of Nourish Network—Sound Nutrition, Mindful Meals and Eco Bites. Within the groups are topic-specific conversations where you can bat around deeper ideas. For instance, if you read a post on fish farming and want to see what other members think on the topic, you can go into the Eco-Bites group and join the conversation on aquaculture.
Can I create a group of my own?
Not at this point. There is a possibility of adding that functionality in the future, however, if members express interest in additional groups centered on specific topics or locales.
