Time for action — finding friends and adding them to your list
Let's start making some friends in Mahara:
1. Return to the Groups section of your site and click on the Find Friends tab.
2. You will see a screen that lists all the people that are in your Mahara site. Notice in the top left you have the standard search box. Use this to search for the friend you are looking for, if you can't see them in the list. If there aren't many users in your own Mahara site, try and find some in the demo site for this book. You might even be able to make friends with Janet Norman, if you can find her. When you have found the friend you would like to add, simply click on Send Friend Request to the right of their name:
3. On the following page, you can fill in a form to tell them why you want to be their friend and send it off.
4. You have now requested to be someone's friend. You have to wait for their response before you are accepted as their friend (or not, as the case may be).
