<h2>Using ChurchFinder.com for your Search</h2>
<p>We recommend that you start by creating a personal "Shortlist" of churches to consider visiting. To start, use the City Search tool on your <a href="my-dashboard"><strong>Dashboard</strong></a> and browse churches in your city.&nbsp; As you view the Church Profiles, look for this icon...</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><img src="/sites/all/themes/churchfinder/flag-shortlist-off.png" style="float: left; margin: 5px;" /><span style="vertical-align: middle;"> When you see this icon on a Church Profile, click on it to add that church to your Shortlist of churches. Then look for "My Shortlist of Churches" on your <a href="my-dashboard"><strong>Dashboard</strong></a> </span></p>
