The PDBN site is a catalog of blogs from people dealing with Parkinson’s
Disease. Each entry has the blog name/link and a descriptive or
excerpted sentence or two, with space for reader comments, and a five
point rating scale. You can transfer to the full blog, and post directly with
the author as usual. You can also return to the PDBN and post comments
on the network page, or continue to other pages. Note that your network
posts do NOT automatically flow back to the original blog author; while
the PDBN tries to contact them, they might be unaware of reader
comments about their blog on the blog network.
Each blog on the PDBN is assigned to one of three categories, identified
by an icon. The list of blogs is sortable using the drop-down menu in
the header bar of the blog section.
The Advisory Board does not administer the Network; like you, we try
to provide and check helpful information and links to our community.
The Internet is diffuse by design, and having Parkinson’s is an
isolating, individualized experience. There’s a lot of helpful
information on the Web; the problem is finding what you want to know
before you know what to ask! The PDBN should be a switchboard, helping
people to connect. Your comments on how to improve this process are
always welcome.
