I want to contact a particular user of this site. How can I do that?

A. Only financial members of WiB can view the contact details in Member Profiles, where some, but not all, members have chosen to provide a telephone number or method of contact. Financial members also can contact other members via email by clicking on a name in the Member Profile listing and then on the "Contact" tab of the profile. This contact form allows you to send a private message to her or his registered email address without disclosing it to the sender. It is up to the recipient to respond to your message.

How can I stop receiving the emails notifying me that new content has been posted to the website?

A. Go to "My account" and select the "Notifications" tab. From this tab, you can disable notifications or change the format to receive only titles, title + teaser, or the full content.

What is a blog and how can I have one?

A. A blog (short for 'web log') is described by "Wikipedia" as being "...a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video... Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries...The ability of readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs."

Financial members of WiB may post to their own blog pages on this site. Post a news item about your business or comment on an interesting topic by logging in, going to "My account" and scrolling down the page to "View recent blog entries". Click here and you will be taken to your blog page. Add a blog entry by clicking on the link and filling out the form. It's that easy!

By default, your blog entry will be promoted to the front page of the WiB website. If you don't wish to have it displayed on the front page, uncheck that box under "Publishing options". It will still be available to other members via the Member Profiles area.

Don't be afraid to play around with your blog. You can't break anything on the website!
