PE__5 Sixent


Sixent has so many layers and possibilities and it is almost overwhelming.  It is kind of like Facebook on Steroids.  Anyhow, I have begun to work on my tutorial and as I work I am discovering new things on this site as I go.  It seems they have been developing this platform for the last three years and just now released it.  As you can see in the screenshot above I have made different pages for different groups of people impacted by the Vietnam War, and I am not finished with those yet either.


What I learned through this process is that you can have more than just a page ........you can have a page within a page and several pages, each person can have their own page.  Consequently, it is not "just" a page.  The page contains the resources to add photos, link's, bookmark's, files, and even a BLOG......that's right!  As Well the other users in the Forum can comment on all your entries.  You have the option to let others see that post or not.
You can also make "special Notes" about your members that only you can see.   You can create a Wiki--

wi·ki/ˈwikē/

Noun:
A Web site developed collaboratively by a community of users, allowing any user to add and edit content.
There is the option to have a RSS feed for the page or the Wiki and that way you can remain in control of the content and the possible abuse or misinformation someone might accidentally post.   The best thing of all are the elaborate Privacy settings and the safety, security, and solace their simplified user settings allow.  They also have many layers of security.   YES you can Block People.  Various Privacy settings for the individual are list below.  The Privacy settings for the Group Page are individually set when you set the Group up, and can be altered within each post.
