Board members Diane Sulg and Hardin Abrams cooked up a new forum called Take a Tip and Leave a Tip Forum
In this Forum you'll find tips for making and saving money. The idea is you take a tip and leave a tip - just like the penny tray at the QuickMart. Read a tip from other members and leave one of your own.
To make it REAL easy we've placed a link on the home page of the website or you can click this link and go there from this email by clicking here!
Once you're at the forum you just click on the name of the tip you wish to read, if you'd like to add a comment or expand on the idea just click on post a reply.
Some of the tips already posted are using a sale table, inexpensive yet good looking packaging ideas, using stock photos, who to use to print your postcards, notecards and business cards, switching your phone service, to name a few of the tips.
Let's each try to post at least one tip!

This week lets look at the Membership Directory which is located under Membership Services.
Every member of our organization has a page in the membership directory called a profile, the directory lists all the usual things you would expect, name, address, fax, website, email, etc. You should look at your entry to make sure the information is up to date. Adding a second email address is often helpful if you receive mail at both work and at home. You can add your photo by clicking on add a photo by clicking on add a photo, click browse, find it on your own computer, doubleclick on it, then hit submit, then view this profile which will take you back to your profile.
There is a list of events you've signed up for through the website, your education, and so on.
If you have other members of CRAFT that you correspond with regularly you can create your own contact list. To do this call up their profile, on the left under the area where a photo can go you will see add as contact. Click on this link for each of the people you want on your contact list. When you go back to your own profile you will note at the top of your profile page you will see tabs named profile (which we have been talking about), next is contacts, then Favorites, Contributions and Groups.
If you click on the contacts tab you will see your own list of contacts, all in one place. To view your contacts profile page just click on their name, it will also show anything that your contact has posted on the website if you click on view _____'s contributions.
The next tab Favorites is a place where you can make a list of website, blogs or pages you visit regularly. Add a favorite by clicking on Add Favorites, type in the name, the url, then hit enter. You can return to your own profile page by using the back arrow at the top of your browser.
The next tab Contributions will list everything that you have posted on the CRAFT website.
The last tab is Groups. Groups are a subset of people that can be corresponded with as a group. This is an area that the adminstrators of the site generally use.
