Well, as you can tell we went outside the box and actually built
our main website on a social platform. Why, well because we wanted
to and it is not yet the thing to do.
So, here's how it all works:
If you are not yet a member, you will need to click the
Sign Up button in the top right-hand corner and fill out your
information to join the network.
Navigation on a social platform is not the same as
navigation of a typical site. At the top of the page are
tabs including Main, Invite, My Page etc., which will lead you to
different pages of the site. On the left side of the screen are the
secondary navigation links. For example, Featured Members, RSS
Links, Videos etc., that will lead you to specific content on pages
of the site.
Primary Site Navigation:
- Main
Brings you back to the homepage
