Thanks for pointing that out. We’re trying to simplify the choices up there, but there’s still more work to do. I think, ideally, it would simply take you to the Sites section of your profile. I’ll see what we can do.

Well, that’s definitely not right. Thanks so much for letting us know, Ryan.

I think you may be right, Vimala; there’s going to be some difficulties until we can either make more clear where the forums actually are or just get everybody used to this system. I’ll keep pondering possible […]

Hi, Vimala. I fixed that for you. What happened was that the theme you had briefly selected (one that actually isn’t supposed to be available networkwide, so thanks for letting me know about that!) has a default […]

Yes! Seconding Ryan on all of the above, including the q. about filters.

(UPDATE: I wrote the response below before I saw what Ryan said above [hi Ryan!]; we’re having the same problem. Creating a blog doesn’t make one the admin for that blog.)

Hi, all. Thanks for the comments! We’ve of course just gone into beta in the last couple of days, so we’re waiting to develop things like help files based on what our testers say that they need. So let us know — […]

One thing that occurs to me so far is that profiles are kind of unsatisfying to fill out, especially compared to the way profiles work on Academia.edu. One way in which academics are different from other social […]

If, like Lee said above, MLA Commons is geared toward scholars who are already using social media and are active bloggers (I’m not sure that’s true, but the beta testing group certainly is), then this site seems […]

I was wondering why all the blogs were empty of content, but when I created my own, I quickly found out why. We can create them, but then don’t have access to the dashboard to be administrators of the sites. Hence […]
