Q: How do I create a profile?
A:
When you join Kaboose.com, we will ask you specific questions about your
interests, your family, and what you would like to get of our site. This
information makes up your personal profile. You can also post pictures as well.
To make certain your profile really stands out, be sure to fill out all four
brief sections of the “my profile” page: “basic
profile,” “extended profile,” “my kids,” and
“my settings.” If you were too busy to fill out this information
when you first joined, it’s not too late! Simply click “my
profile” in the top right-hand corner of the home page, and you will be
able to edit each of these sections. This allows other members to get to know
you better, but don’t worry, we won’t show other members any
information you don’t want us to! Use “my settings” to set
your privacy preferences.

Q: What are the benefits of completing my extended profile?
A:
Adding more detail to your profile elps us connect you with
mom’s like you and helps us deliver information that is interesting to
you. When you first joined Kaboose.com, we set up a very basic profile
for you using the registration information you provided. If you want to add
your own personal style, you can add to it by filling out all four sections of
the profile set-up page: “basic profile,” “extended
profile,” “my kids,” and “my settings.” Simply
click “my profile” in the top right-hand corner of the home page
and you’ll be able to edit each of these sections. Don’t forget to
post at least one photo as well, nothing spruces up a profile like pictures!
And even though a picture is worth a thousand words, we’re still pretty
fond of words as well. So don’t forget the “A few words about
me” section of the “extended profile.”

A:
We offer two great ways to get information from moms like you: We have
discussion topics and questions. Discussion topics are open for comments
and provide a threaded discussion. Questions also allow for threads, but
they also allow the person who posted the question to designated which
responses were helpful. These helpful answers will be grouped at the top
of the discussion page to help other moms find the information that will be
most useful.
