Making some connections – the friends mechanism

• If you navigate back to your profile page – ‘Your Profile’ menu option – and go to your list of interests, click on one that is a link.

• You will now see others who have put that item as an interest – click on their icon to visit their profile.
• If, after reading their profile, you think they look interested you can decide to make them a ‘friend’ by clicking on the link titled ‘Click here to add this user as a friend’ located in the sidebar.

• This enables a couple of things – you will now be able to restrict content to this person and it will add them to the aggregated view of your friends, a handy way to view recent blog posts by those you are interested in

Now we all have some friends, lets create some access groups to share content with these ‘friends’.
