[hypermobility] New Site - Hypermobility Portal

> I wanted to tell you about a new site I created, the Hypermobility

> Portal (http://hypermobility.objectis.net) The Hypermobility Portal

> exists to serve as a window to message boards, medical articles,

> support groups, and other resources available online for persons with

> a hypermobility disorder. Hypermobility Syndrome and the hypermobile

> type of the Ehler-Danlos Syndrome are the primary focus, but

> resources for other hypermobility syndromes will also be available

> soon.

>

> The Hypermobility Portal is unique amongst other hypermobility

> related sites in the extent to which users around the world can

> contribute to the content available. Any individual can register as a

> member, allowing her to create content and organize that content in

> folders. Content in members' personal folders can be viewed by

> accessing the member's personal foder or by using a built-in search

> engine. Members can also submit content for publishing on the site.

> After review by a team of site administrators and managers, accepted

> content is published, allowing it to be visible in the site's

> navigation tree.

>

> The types of content members can create include original articles,

> personal stories, and treatment suggestions. Members can also submit

> links, photos, and events related to hypermobility. Also available is

> a series of forums and a private messaging tool, which contribute to

> the community effort.

>

> By allowing members around the world to contribute content and assist

> in presenting content, I hope the Hypermobility Portal will evolve

> into a place where the needs of the hypermobile, their family,

> friends, and doctors can be met in a simple, yet powerful site. As we

> progress toward that goal, I will invite others to participate as

> site reviewers and administrators, so that the growing needs of the

> Hypermobility Portal can be met.

>

> Currently, the site only has minimal content, but I invite you to

> visit it and register as a member. As your schedule and health

> allows, enter links, photos, and original articles you believe others

> would benefit from. If you wish for the content to be published

> outside of your personal folder (making it easier for others to

> find), please rember to submit the content for review. After saving

> the content, simply click on State and select Submit from the Change

> State section at the bottom of the page. I'll review content as it is

> submitted and publish the content in appropriate folders. Together,

> we can build a community and database we can all benefit from.
