User Account vs. Profile Page


Account

Each BPN subscriber has an account with an email and password you selected. When you login to the BPN website, you are logging in to your user account. Your account keeps track of all your posts, has a link to your profile page if you have one, and stores basic information you provided such as your user name, your email address, and which newsletters you subscribe to. Your account also specifies the type of subscription you have:  parent, business, nanny, school, preschool, etc. - which controls which content you can access on BPN. 

  • How to find your account page: click "my account" at the top of the BPN website when you are logged in
  • How to edit your account information: click 'Edit my account' on your account page

Note for community subscribers: Only one account, with one email address, is provided for each subscription. If more than one person needs to post on BPN, then you'd have to either purchase separate subscriptions for each account, or multiple people would share the password on the one account so they can all login. We recommend using a general email address for the account such as "admissions [at] school.org" instead of a personal email address.


Profile Page

Schools, childcare facilities, and kid-related businesses have a "profile page" on BPN if they 1) have received at least one review on BPN, or 2) have an active subscription. The profile page is a permanent page on the BPN website that contains information about the school or business along with reviews submitted by BPN parents. If you have purchased a subscription, you can update most of the information on your profile page, and your current announcements and upcoming events will appear here too.Your profile page is linked to your user account so you can edit it.  View more information about profile pages.

  • How to find your profile page: if you subscribe, you'll see a link on your account page. Or, you can use the Search box to find it
  • How to edit your profile page: find your profile page and if you are logged in, you'll see an Edit tab
