June 2008 Archives

Our members here do many things well, from debating important topics to sharing stories to simply helping each other stay connected in the journey of life.

Best of all, you offer support for any and all manner of issues. You've started support groups for depression, weight loss, romance, prayer and countless other topics. All of these groups are important and life-giving for their members.

As a way of showcasing some of the most active groups, we thought it'd be fun to let you vote on your favorite support group. Read through this list of nominees, visit those groups you've never seen before, and decide which you think is best. (We know--it won't be easy!) Then vote in the poll to the right of the page.

Don't see your favorite group here? Never fear--we'll be doing this again and give more groups a chance to enter.

Our winner will be announced on July 7.

July 4 is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness than a new profile skin?

Okay--that might be overstating it a bit, but our designers really knocked this one out of the park. Our special July 4 skin (showcased here by our fearless leader, Rebecca) is festive, fun, and patriotic. Here's betting you won't want to change skins again until long after your sparklers have died out.

To make your profile patriotic or choose from our many design options, simply go to your profile home, click Edit My Profile, then Profile Design. Enjoy!

Most of you have probably already seen it, but in case you haven't noticed yet, we just launched the Recent Activity feed on Beliefnet Community. Those of you who have Facebook accounts will be familiar with this type of feed - it's an easy way for you to stay informed about what's going on in your personal network. Did a friend post a new photo? Now you can take a look. Did someone comment on your guestbook? This feed will let you know. You can track dozens of different activities across the community.

Check it out now by logging in here, and let us know if you have questions by posting in the Beliefnet Knowledgebase group.

Enjoy! We bet you'll become as addicted to it as we are...

First of all, thanks so much to all of you for the enthusiasm you've shown in recognizing the efforts and contributions of your fellow community members! Please continue to vote for a June winner in the Member of the Month Gallery.
