New website and online network

[Deleted User]

 

Thank you to all the online network members who provided (and continue to provide) valuable feedback, either by email, over the phone or in person in one of our focus groups.

Now that the online network has a new look, you will notice some new features and maybe some old ones which are no longer there.

Once you have logged into the online network, have a close look at the main navigation bar (see image below). This bar has everything you need to get around the online network.

Finding your way around

To the left of the navigation bar you can select the:
- 'Posts’ link and see the latest online network blog posts
- 'Groups’ and ‘Members’ links to search for and connect with online groups and other online network members
 
To the right on the navigation bar you can select the:
- Big pink ‘Post’ button, which allows you to post in your own blog or if you are a member of other groups you can post directly into the groups blog.
- ‘My feed’ link this will show activity from others in your own personal networks
- ‘Messages’ link and you will be taken to your messages. You can read new private messages, respond and create new messages.
- ‘My profile’ link you can see your blog posts, the groups you have join and the members you are connected with. Don’t forget you can also update your Story, personal contact information and privacy settings.
 
New features
- Search: From the ‘Posts’ area of the site you can now search and display just online network member blog posts or you can display BCNA blog posts.
- Filter: You can filter the content using the drop down categories i.e. Chemotherapy, Breast reconstruction, side effects etc.
- Keywords: You can search the blog posts by keyword. This allows you to narrow down what you are looking for.

As with all new websites, there are always some little bugs so be assured we are working very hard with our website developers to get these fixed ASAP so you can all continue to enjoy the wonderful online network.

We will continue to provide updates, in the meantime if you have any trouble finding your way around, please send us an email bcnaonline@bcna.org.au or phone us on 1800 500 258.
