• A Few Quick Updates

  Just a few quick updates: I just posted a few articles from experts to our new Features Blog.  Until I figure out where to put them, these articles will appear under the Stories tab along with the user-submitted stories.  I have now added a Dual Diagnosis forum.  Dual Diagnosis means having both substance abuse and mental health problems.  I accidentally, while adding the Dual Diagnosis forum, deleted the Celebrating Recovery forum.  It's back now, but all the posts sadly got deleted : ( It's late.  I'll probably add more to this post tomorrow.  Night! ~Caitlin Posted Sep 16 2007, 12:53 AM by Caitlin with no comments Filed under: NEWS

• Blogs & Photo Galleries

  I think I have finally solved the problem of the blogs and photo galleries (aka: Stories and Artwork).  From now on, each person will have his or her own blog and photo gallery, which will be created upon registration.  Below is the format of the links to each feature:   Personal Story Blog: http://stepoutofthesilence.org/blogs/USERNAME/default.aspx Personal Artwork Gallery: http://stepoutofthesilence.org/photos/USERNAME/default.aspx NOTE:  The USERNAME is not always the same as your regular username.  "Caitlin C." would become "caitlin_c" - no punctuation is used and spaces are converted to "_"   Once you reach your blog or gallery, you can post a new story or piece of artwork via the link on the left side module.  If you have trouble accessing these features, please send me a message.  Enjoy!
