I was planning on waiting until sunday to release this broadcast message, but just couldn't wait to tell you about these new updates on Land Surveyors United! So here we go...
With these new upgrades, you'll be able to organize all your favorite footage, pics, and discussions into one simple area, customize your web presence and fine tune the look and feel of your place in the world of surveying..
The New "iLike" button: About a month ago, we introduced a new LSU 'iLike' button along with a Facebook 'like' button. These two features together made Land Surveyors United a million times better, however, they were only available for certain areas of the site. But not anymore! Now you can 'like' content no matter you are on the website. This includes videos, photos, discussions, and even profile pages. Also, you can now keep track of each item you 'like' on your personal "My Likes" page in a much more organized way.When your on the site, look for your own personal 'likes' page in the navigation under 'My Page.' Pretty cool, right?It even tells you what you liked by month...
New Design Studio for Your Profile You can now customize the appearance of your profile page! Just head over to your profile and click on "Customize My Page" right underneath your profile photo. You'll be able to edit colors, font, background images, and even add custom CSS coding for any of you nerds out there! This is also a huge upgrade to the network and will give your profile a much more personal feel. It will also give you more flexibility for customizing your profile to match the branding of your surveying company or simply express yourself artistically. Go wild or keep it simple..the sky is the limit!
Instantly Find Surveyors Who Are Already Your Friends in One Click: There have been some great changes to the Recruit Page on the network, now providing you with the ability to instantly search your email address for contacts already on the network. Simply pick the type of email you use, sign in (we do not store your info) and it automagically scans your contacts for surveyors who are already on the network and connects you as friends. Who knows, there may be 30 other surveyors you know in real life that are on the network and you didn't even know. This is how things get interesting. We're the only network made by surveyors for surveyors that allows you to upload and consolidate all of your surveying knowledge, interests and colleagues into one easy location. Thanks for your support, participation and contributions to the future of land surveying.
Surveying Directory: I want to help your businesses and projects grow and this is finally 
coming together. I hope to finally finish the surveying directory over the weekend so stay tuned for a HUGE update on this early next week. This has been an interesting task which has taken longer than I had anticipated, but you can follow the progress on that page (which will be the first of several pages I am assembling). Donations to Land Surveyors United in any amount are always welcome, encouraged and much appreciated.
And that wraps up this week's message broadcast. Thanks for reading and we hope you appreciate all the hard work put into Land Surveyors United. I hope you have a terrific holiday weekend, surveyors!
