Ever wonder what the member experience is like?

Add a Tip for Other Network Creators (Ning 2)

Hey Creator buddies!

 

I was thinking and had a tip for all of the Creators out there. Sometimes on the Creator account you can't really understand the feeling a member gets when they visit your site. One easy thing to do is to create another account just as a member. Now you don't have to be on that account 24/7 but sometimes when you make site changes (pages, groups etc.) its nice to see how the member will see it.

 

Just a tip! Hope its useful!

    I ALWAYS create a 2nd account as a regular member and use that are my primary login.  I only use the admin account to make changes.

    yep, it's a good idea for sure!

    Yes.. I wish NING would allow NC's to have  Creator and Member view to switch between. I currently have a second account to view things as my members do and it is annoying to sign out and sign in and sign out and sign in.

      That would be a good idea! Maybe i should request it to the Ning Team.
