sign-in page. You may or may not need to sign in, using your chosen
password.

joined so far (by clicking on the View All option in the Members
sidebar or by clicking on the "Members" tab at the top), and, if you
scroll down, you will see the options for different sub-groups that
Sally has set up (or, you can click on the "Groups" tab at the top of

their photo or name. The comments are private (not viewable by
others) but that fact that you have commented will be listed in both
your Activity Logs on your "My Pages". I'm not sure how this function
will work during conferences - as we have been previously asked not to
contact anyone privately without first asking for permission on
list... Any input, Sally? :-)

Here is the official Help page for Commenting --
http://help.ning.com/?cat=30

The short story seems to be -- no one from outside our network (OGTOC) will be able to view comments. Those in our network can view comments, unless you choose not to let others see. To set your settings so that only you see the comments you receive (and can then delete these comments, without displaying them): scroll down on your My Page to the Comments Wall -- click on the Edit button, and choose the "Yes - approve comments first" option. Then click Save.

You can do the same thing for your Activity Log, if you don't want others to see who you have traded messages with.

For all comments and activity logs -- the red x at the upper right can be clicked on to delete the item.
After you've made changes to your page and want to know how others will see it, go to your My Page. Under your profile photo box (to the left), click the "View Page As Others See It" link.

Also, here is the general help page with a bunch of topics you can explore to find out more about how NING works --

hope this helps!

Here is some more information from another list member who thought this would also be helpful to newbies.
Gifted - OGTOC

Our Gifted Online Conferences: A Gathering Place for All Gifted

A place to join together to meet, share, learn, and discuss issues pertaining to giftedness and talent of all individuals regardless of race, age, gender, economic status, and/or twice/thrice exceptionalities.

A newbie was confused by the word “conferences” so I thought we might explain it something like this:

OGTOC began several years ago as an online conference and has become a virtual international community of individuals who meet, share, learn, and discuss issues pertaining to giftedness and talent of all individuals regardless of race, age, gender, economic status, and/or twice/thrice exceptionalities. Sign up for the Gifted-OGTOC ning community to participate in subject-specific groups on an ongoing basis or to join an expert guest speaker’s conference when they occur in real time.

On another page you might have a section that gives specifics like:

1) First sign up for the Gifted – OGTOC ning group.

2) Create your personal page

3) Explore the GROUPS tab and join subject-specific groups that interest you. Post your questions and comments in those groups. Choose how you receive information using your personal page: login and go to - http://giftedonlineconferences.ning.com/profiles/profile/emailSettings

4) The Gifted-OGTOC community is evolving so be patient with one another as we learn!

Thanks Teri for your help:)
