1. Once you are logged into LT, at the top is a navigational bar (starts with Home, ends with Zeitgeist). Keep looking to the right, there you will see a white search box. It's universal, whatever you enter there LT will give you results for anything on the site.

2. Type in that search bar a member name. We'll use me in this example, debicates, and hit enter. Ooo, the screen changes with a myriad of options on the left side, a vertical navigation with choices like book, author, groups, etc. Scroll down a little further and find "Members," click that.

3. Currently it will give you 2 results, me DebiCates and another member DEBIC. Click me.

4. There I am with all my profile stuff! Look on the right side, click the boxy button "Message". And voila! Write me a message. Or find your GR friend who is on LT too and send them a message. It's so good to keep in touch with friends.
