  1. In the pop up box that appears on your screen, type in a title that describes your idea or experience in the "Title" field.
  2. Type in the details you would like to include about your idea or experience in the "Description" field.
  3. Choose a topic from the drop down list. You can only choose one of these topics, so please select the one that best fits your experience or idea.
  4. Click the "Submit" button to post your idea to the dialogue. Please note that the "Title," "Description," and "Topic," fields are mandatory, so you must complete all three items in order for your idea to successfully post.

To read an idea, simply click on the idea title. Each idea is individually listed.



Step 5

To submit a comment, open the idea by clicking on the title of the idea then select the link "Add Your Comment" located in the bottom left hand corner of the idea.
