Chronic Pain

Hi everyone,
I thought I would discuss what a Sharepost is and how it is used here at Chronic Pain Connection and throughout HealthCentral.
A SharePost is like a journal, or as you guys are used to it being called, a blog. Except the difference is that it only takes a couple minutes to set up your account for SharePosts, and it isn't complicated to write them either.

You can write anything in a SharePost... as it says in the page about Shareposts, (http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/create/).
you can write daily journal entries, tips to help someone, gripes, recommendations for books, etc.
You can write as many SharePosts as you would like.
One of the ways I would like us to use SharePosts, is by creating a SharePost for your doctor visits and progress. Just like you did on the TMJ Friends message board.
This way, we can all keep up with your progress. ou can subscribe to SharePosts, and be updated when a user creates a new one. You can also be emailed when there is a new comment on your SharePosts.

Basically, to break it down - we are using SharePosts as the "Doctor Visit" forum.. I think this will make it easier for us to keep up with everyone.

Let me know if you have any questions!!

My SharePosts are here: http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/109/

I love the SharePosts! They're an awesome idea!

Hi Beka - I can't find it again but you mentioned "Mika" - if it is the same person he originated from Auckland, New Zealand and is a Maori. Very entertaining. Hope you and hubby and your little dog are all doing well. Regards (aka was Ginny @ tmjfriends) NanaD

ok then confused... (not surprising.. ) How do we see everyone's sharepost to review ??? Or do I have to go into each persons profile......

HELP THE BLONDE ! ;-)

Hi Tami,
To see everyone's Shareposts, there are a couple of ways you can do it:
1. You can press the green button at the top right that says "see latest SharePosts"
2. You can go to your home and filter the SharePosts by the type of person who wrote it (ie: "Living with it" "Interested" etc) or the type of post they wrote (ie: "Journal" "Inspiration" etc).
3. When you go to "See Latest Shareposts" on the right you can see the categories there too.

Does this help? Let me know

PS - I also encourage everyone to put the link to their SharePosts in their signature.

Thanks Stacy,

I have bookmarked a # of things on the sharepost hoping I can soon figure it out.. Also added it to my signature (lets see if it shows up once I 'post' !!.

I'd still like to see a 'post' on the main TMJ site just as a generic discussion board so we can all click there for a short 'Hey all' type of convo.. Seems more collaborative where the 'share post' is a good idea for detailed blog type of thing, perhaps we can have a mix of both. Thoughts ?

Hi Tami,
I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean here. A SharePost on the main page of the ChronicPainConnection site that we could all say hi on? Or am I missing the point (I think I am lol)?
