Directory?

[Lauren_]

I'm a little lost in all the new-ness, so I might be missing something *really* obvious.

Does New Bhuz have a directory-type feature still? Can a potential student find me here if she's looking for a teacher in my town? Or a potential client?

I don't think the profile asked me for my home page, e-mail address, or any other information that would help me market my studio. Did I miss that, too?

never mind... I'm figuring it out.

If you go to any of the pages like your profile that have all the parts of the site across the top, you can click on "Members" and it lets you search, including searching for members who put down "yes" for "Teacher - ask me about my classes"

It's not as developed as the old directory was, but maybe we can tell Rosey what we want in our profile listings and she can expand them.

I went and tried it out... I searched for teachers in Illinois, and you came right up (you and 3 other people). It shows your afatar, and if I click on it, it goes straight to your profile.

Hmmm...there are no teachers or performers in California! That seems...wrong! ;)

Maybe I am searching incorrectly?! This was searching from the "members list" page using the drop down menus for country, state, style, etc.

Were the other choices put on "any"? That's the way to use the searchfor teacher or performer.

We didn't import this info, so the reason could be that the Calif people jsut haven't been online yet and/or not filled in their profiles.

I had a semantic issue that was hard to figure out. The same language repeats in your profile and in the search - so I had to use the slightly clunky "Teacher - ask about my classes: " so it would work both coming and going, so to speak.

I can make more categories of things, suggestions are welcomed, but for the basic purpose of the search, which is to find teachers, performers, and people in your area, I thought it best to keep it simple.
