Well, the best thing you can do is actually to contribute to the site by participating actively in discussions and by making the sociopedia explanations as sociologically valuable as possible. Oh, and then there is one thing more. Since one of the ambitions behind Sociologically.net is to establish an international sociological community, you can make sure that everyone you know who has anything to do with sociology knows about this site. You can do this by word of mouth (people studying marketing claim that this is should be effective) and you can use the "share" option in the top menu.

Sociologically is an adverbial form of sociology and means "with regard to sociology" - and that is what this site is all about isn't it? Further, there is a subtle double meaning in the title, which should not be too hard to figure out if you think about it for a little while :)

The first thing you need to make sure is that you have actually clicked on the link in the mail which was sent to you immediately after you created your user. The subject of the email is "Welcome to Sociologically.net - please activate your profile" and it has a very long link in it, please make sure that you include the whole link. If you have a very strict spam filter, it might have caught it, so have a look to see, if your activation mail ended up as spam. If none of this helps, it might be because you mistyped your username or password. Please note that the loginsystem is casesensitive, which means that 'Myusername' is not the same as 'myusername' - the same goes for password. If nothing helps, please contact and we will find a solution.

Not if you choose "my email adress should not be visible on my profile page" under the menu item "your settings" :)

As you might have seen, some users have a star icon in the user list. This means that the user is a national Sociologically.net ambassador for his or her country.
