The transformation to sustainability and/as ways to happiness
What seems to be heard most often are the environmentalists predicting doom, and the deniers and delayers arguing that change would hurt us, personally and economically.Recently, we see an emergent understanding that a transformation to sustainability is actually not just about hard choices for "saving the planet," but about ways in which human happiness can ...learn more

Couple of thoughts.....first, re the search facility. I was VERY confused for a while - until I figures this out. The natural tendency is to try and find someone in the 2nd panel - the one that allows you to set a country or other attributes. But there is NOTHING to warn you that, in this section, you have to type in the EXACT name for it to work. eg type PAUL and you get zilch. So finally realised that the top search panel WILL search on part of a name. Would really help to make that clear - or even better, have panel 2 still search on a part name.
2nd point - a quesiton - someone kindly entered my organisation before I came along and did my own entry (for Be The Change). Now I think it would make sense to delete the initial entry. How do I do that? Great work, guys, btw. |

Hi Ruby,
WiserEarth was set up to only allow people to log on as users, and once logged on they can make the changed necessary to represented their favorite organizations as accurately and completely as possible. Hope that helps. |

I mistakenly added a comment to my page thinking it was part of the profile, and would like to delete it, but don't know how. Can anyone advise please?
By the way I am delighted to be here and look forward to working with you all. Indra |

Tried to add a list sreve, but the format for adding resources doesn't support that Too bad this resource - ComFood at https://elist.tufts.edu/wws is a wonderful resource for any food issue or interest. It is full of reaources, expertise and is big on sharing and mutual support.

I ran out of room to add interests. Git about 1/2 way. Shall I delete some and have my interests represented on a higher (more general) level, or would it be possible to expand the allowable interests? Thank you. ~ Axil

I think I'll add a pre tag insert button on the panel and set a decent looking style for pre in css...

Yes, it's an important one. We will enhance the helper window before soft launch with more help text. In the mean time, you can add the <br> tag at the end of a line.

ln the HTML directions on the right, can there be directions on how to put a return between lines?

In response to your second question - you shouldn't have to delete the Be the Change organization entries if you don't like like aspects of them. Simply click the 'Edit' button for the section you want to update. The name, contact information, areas of focus, and mission statement are all mutable.
Thanks,
Mike
