It would be good if someone could take the time to update this post, as it stands it's just a tad confusing with all the old information still legible.
This was a deliberate strategy as this ning was changing rapidly for a while, and it may or may not have been available at any time. I have now changed the text back as the ning seems to have stabilised.

I had a look at all the bits on this lesson. I kept thinking of the old poem of the children's "Ning-Nang-Nong song.
I found it interesting esp the question to how to introduce safety in a different format. I wished I had an answer, I would have answered it.
I joined Ning with reservations, as there seems to be some controversy with the cost of it. Time will tell.
Thanks for introducing me to all of the different forums and social networks available to the world. It certainly has broaden my thoughts on how people use the net.
Nings seem like this - post a message and others can comment. It's just a fancy name for something that it's as fancy. I thought it was going to be something really technical.
