Setting up Your Ning Network – Adding Cool Features

It does not matter if you are web savvy or not, setting up a basic Ning network is fairly easy. You don’t need to worry about learning html code, CSS, or JavaScript. You don’t even need to understand the technical side of building an online community. Ning is designed in such a way that most of the features only require you to answer easy questions, adding your own images and color customizations to create a unique look and feel. Having already created logos and banners for my sites, I was able to easily add my images and transform those pages into new networks in a matter of minutes.
Now if you happen to have questions about setting up your site, Ning has an extensive FAQ for Network creators along with two very helpful community groups: Ning Creators and the Ning Developer Network. If you can’t find the answer to a question in the FAQ, chances are some one has also asked that question in one of the creator communities I mentioned. You also have the option of contacting Ning directly. I have found them to be quick responders and very helpful when I had questions about my groups.

Adding Cool Features to Your Ning Network
In addition to the standard features that each ning network has, the ning develops have made it easy for you to integrate different types of technology into your Network. With a little time and research you can find new and creative ways to make your network stand out. By researching other networks, and tapping into my own creativity, I have come up a listing of several additional features you might be interested in adding to your Network.

• Ning has made it easy for creators to add their own custom pages to their network. I have taken advantage of this feature, creating pages that add better functionality and more entertainment value to my spaces. To find out how to add more pages to your network review the Ning Developers Guide to Adding Pages:
