C2 Frogloop: Blogger uses Petition Site to Create Better Transportation for NY
Dec 10, 2007
The Care2 PetitionSite and the Care2 News Network are powerful tools for change.  A visit to Care2 Frogloop (all links open new windows) proved this:


Blogger Uses Petition Site to Create Better Transportation for NY

Post authored by Ethan Oringel of Green Brooklyn 

When I started Green Brooklyn in December 2006, I knew that I wouldn't be doing much promotion for the site, never mind advertising, and that I wouldn't even really have enough time to create content and links as much as I would like. I was busy starting my green communications consulting company...

Recently, one Green Brooklyn cause has made some waves... Heather McCown of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn kicked off the idea of restoring ferry service from Brooklyn to Manhattan... (more here)


If you ever wonder whether or not one person can make a difference, hopefully, the above article will help ease your mind.

We have powerful tools for change at our disposal here on Care2 Connect, thanks to the hard work of the Support and engineering teams, so if one person can make the kind of changes written about above, so can we.

Have a great day and a great week, everyone.

(3) we have the option to send e-cards, messages, and green stars directly from the "My Friends" list.

(5) we have an optional questionnaire that can be filled out when people leave a group, for the purpose of providing feedback to the Group Hosts, so that they (Group Hosts) can gauge how well their group is working for their members.

May 30/07: Members 'Most Wanted' List
May 30, 2007
The last updated Most Wanted List was posted May 5/07.  It seems like it's time to provide another update, just so that Care2 doesn't think we've forgotten what we're asking for. 

Care2, for some time, now, members have been asking for:


(1) the Support and engineering teams to fix existing bugs and glitches, such as:

* Not receiving group emails

* RSS Feeds Intermittent or not updating at all

* Default Font Size Not Working

There are more bugs and glitches that have been ongoing for several months - and for some members, more than a year.

(2) option to customize the My Connect page (choose themes - like we can do with our groups, profile pages, and blogs - and select which modules to display)

(3) the option to send e-cards, messages, and green stars directly from the "My Friends" list.

(4) choices to check off when sending green stars, so the recipient knows why they're getting the star. (e.g. "Thinking of you," "Great post in _____ group," "Thanks for the star," etc.)

(5) an optional questionaire that can be filled out when people leave a group, for the purpose of providing feedback to the Group Hosts, so that they (Group Hosts) can gauge how well their group is working for their members.

(6) a "BCC" option in personal messaging (for privacy, and to help reduce and prevent spam)

(7) a direct e-card link to profiles

(8) the option to send more than one green star per week

(9) the option to send green stars to all friends at once, without having to click on each profile

(10) the ability to email friends directly from the Address Book in our email.

(11) groups which members host and/or co-host to be separated from the groups they don't host/co-host. (perhaps splitting the My Groups page would help?)

The Care2 Support and Engineering teams have been working very hard to resolve existing glitches and bugs. Some of these glitches have been resolved, but there are still some bugs being worked out, so please try to be patient while the engineers continue working to get everything up and running properly.

Should you find that features and tools aren't working, please fill out a Help Form and describe the problem in detail so the engineers can investigate. Make sure you include what you've done to correct things, too.

Thanks for taking the time to note this Most Wanted list, Care2, and thanks for working so hard to make things work properly for all of us.

Overdue Update
May 29, 2007
Hi everyone!

I know this is overdue - heck, it seems as if the faster I go, the behinder I get...

I know many of you have been waiting to hear about what's going on with my newest grandchild, so here's the update:

Nikkita was released from the hospital yesterday, after spending all day and all night Sunday under a special UV lamp. Her color has improved a thousand per cent, and she's eating like a horse, now. Malika, the attending nurse, explained that there is still some jaundice left in Nikkita's system, but if she eats every two to three hours, her body will flush out what's left in no time.

I want to thank everyone who left comments for your prayers and your positive healing energies. I apologize for not updating you all sooner. I've also passed your comments along to my daughter, who also thanks you. Your caring and compassion has made a huge difference in the lives of our family...

It's Official: Baby is Coming
May 23, 2007
Hi everyone! 

The painting has begun (it's being done as I type), and it's a good thing, too, because my daughter is officially in labor!  My newest granddaughter is on her way into the world! 

For more information, please see my personal journal.  I'll be posting updates there as often as possible (oh, what I would give to have a laptop or something to take with me!).  I'm very excited right now, so please forgive me for not providing much in the way of actual information.
