How to Change a Ning Homepage
If you are unhappy with how your Ning homepage looks, or with the features it currently provides, it is easy to change if you are the account administrator. Ning gives you full control over your theme colors, the order that your social networking components appear, which social networking components are available to members and even over what favicon the site displays. In addition to enabling or disabling standard features like groups, chat and forums, Ning now also has a collection of third-party applications you can highlight on your homepage.
