There is an Author Contributions recipe that might be helpful. I often put a pagelist on both the Profiles/SideBar and the Profiles/HomePage (from which the pagelist on the SideBar is not visible) so that someone coming to the Profiles/HomePage can click through to any profile page, and from there use the SideBar to jump to another one. ALSO using Profiles/GroupFooter, you can create a pagelist-driven wikitrail-like thing so people can step through the list from beginning to end. Also, the Profiles group is a good one for having a group-specific Template page. See some of this in action on http://www.mkeurbanag.org/Profiles/HomePage I hope something here is useful. Tegan
