So how do you get going ?
1. Create your own personal page – when you register, you will fill out the general questionnaire that will create your profile. Once you have completed that, you can update your own page in the following ways :

a. Upload a picture of yourself .( We would like to see you in action)

b. You can re-arrange the order in which the “activity blocks” are positioned – e.g. you can have “my photos” at the top, followed by “my profile”, and “latest activity” or you could change those around. Just drag and drop.

c. Write your own blog posts, this can be anything you like that is related to the outdoors. We are placing no restrictions on you other than not being rude, and generally using your own common sense as to what kind of content and behaviour is acceptable. In particular, we would like to see the following types of content:

i. Humour – laugh out load stories
ii. Epic – true epics from which we can all learn lessons
iii. Route descriptions & travel guides – if you’ve had a good experience, other people will want to follow you – help them with the where, what, how, when & who to contact
iv. Lists – best of ...... collections (e.g. best 10 trad. routes in the Peninsula under grade 18); recommended gear for this or that trip (e.g. kit list for ice climbing on the ‘Berg); must see items (e.g. what must you do when you visit Kruger Park ?)

d. Upload your own image galleries. Top images will regularly be featured on our home page, this is your chance to be famous!

e. Upload your own videos, once again we want to see some action, so for all those budding adventure camera people, go get em.

f. Start your own discussions in the forum. Do you have a queston, do you have some valuable information you want to share, do you want to get input on anything, this is that space.

g. Apps - stands for applications. Click on this link and you will see that there are a bunch of great applications (253 to be exact) you can add to make your personal page more exciting. Get news feeds, add music, link to your twitter account, add a YouTube widget and much more)

h. Start a group. You belong to a club or running group that you want to have on The Edge start a group and use it to communicate with the other members.

i. Start and Event. Are you an event organiser? Do you want to raise awareness of an event you are participating in? This is your space to get an event going on the network. The event can even be a virtual one, start your own earth hour!

2. IMPORTANT – the next thing is where you will create a buzz – Create a group and invite all your mates to create their own profile & join the group – this way you can organise your trail running group, your hiking club – or just your regular climbing mates. No fuss & free.
