Subject: [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.
