Cool Stuff: Have you discovered private messages yet?
One of the new features with the blog upgrade is the ability to send private messages. This is something that other blog sites have had for a long time, and now we have it, too!
In order to send another HSB'er a private message, go to your account's Control Panel, the first page when you log in. In the menu list at the top, you will see a link for "Messages". Click on this link. You will see here if you have received any messages (and you should be informed of new messages via e-mail, also). Read any messages you've received or send a message to another HSB member with the appropriate links there.
When you go in to compose a message, you will probably notice a drop-down list on the recipient line. These are all of your Friends! Isn't that convenient? You can send a message to one of your friends or you can type a username into the blank box. Remember, this has to be the username, which may or may not be the same as their blog address. This is where the individual profile pages comes in handy - you can see right there what the username is and the blog name are.
Go ahead and give it a try with your friends! I think you will really enjoy this feature. It's a great way to send messages that you don't want to leave as a comment and you don't have to leave your browser in order to send an email through a different program. There is a limit to the number of messages that you can store, so make sure you delete any that you don't need after they are read.
