3. Attend events and even create your own

This is really quick and you will be guided through the process

First, set up as a volunteer (like above)

Stage Two

1. Then click on the Charities tab on the main page and click on the Create a New Group link
2. Upload your logo
3. In the description field start with the word event or on going campaign so that volunteers know what you are recruiting for
4. Write a description about your charity or project and what you are recruiting for
5. Enter your website or a webpage to your site that lists all the vacancies that you have

Stage Three
Now you can upload multimedia onto your Group page and start a forum

Stage Four
Email your members to join your new online community

VIP - If your project has a particular event date, load this information in the events calendar – even if its months away

This is a multimedia site so create engaging blogs, events, forums, upload videos from your hard drive or You Tube and add cool widgets (Don’t worry if you don’t know what widgets are, it will explain when you try to load one).
Have fun!

As a general rule the GO MAD network can accept JPG, GIF or PNG image files.
These should be no larger than 10MB in size, or approx 500px wide

Want to add a picture to a Blog entry?

1. From the Blog toolbar (located below the title "Entry") click on the Image icon
2. Click the Browse button to Upload an Image
3. Locate the file on your computer and double-click it
4. Click > Options, from here you can choose to -
   Wrap text around image?
   This is pretty self-explanatory, this will align your image either left or right with text wrapping around your image.
   
   Create Thumbnail?
   If you have not already resized your image it's a good idea to use this feature.  You should not use an image more than 500 px wide here - if for some reason you need to show a large image, you should use the Popup Window feature (below).
   
   Popup Window?
   Use this inconjunction with a thumbnail so that GO MAD networkers can click on the thumbnail to view the original size image.  This is great if you have a diagram or large image that you want to add.
   

When you join our network or create a group you are given the option to add a profile photo or icon.

You can generally use any JPG, GIF or PNG, but the larger the filesize of the image the longer it will take to upload to the GO MAD network.  We suggest that you first resize your graphic to 171 x 171 pixels.

3. Choose to Upload an Image from my computer
