    If you are a woman who loves makeover stories, we've got one for you.

    The popular Advertiser Web site formerly known as www.HawaiiMoms.com has undergone an extreme makeover.

    It has a sleek new look and exciting new features for site users to play with, including tools to form public and private groups, build personal profiles, find money-saving coupons and more.

    And the site's revamped name — www.Hawaii.MomsLikeMe.com — reflects its new connection with scores of sister Web sites in the www.MomsLikeMe.com network. A common registration system means it would be a snap for a mom in Hawai'i to chat with moms in, say, Los Angeles or New York.

    "Hawaii.MomsLikeMe.com still has all the features that our loyal site users have come to know and love — discussion forums, photos, private messaging and event calendars," said the site's editor, Esme Infante Nii. "But now we're kicking things up a notch by adding new 'toys' to make the site more exciting, and help moms connect with each other and share information more easily."

    Other cool features include a video library and an enhanced events calendar with a tool to upload your own events.

    GROUPS

    Now you can easily meet up online with other moms who share your interests. MomsLikeMe.com lets you create and participate in both public groups and private groups based on the topics you enjoy the most.

    Once you are in a group, you can invite friends, post information to fellow group members, organize events such as play dates and "mommy meet-ups," post photos especially for your group and maintain a calendar of events.

    'MY STUFF' PERSONAL PROFILE

    You'll get to learn more about others and share more about yourself as each user gets a personal profile page dedicated to "everything about you."

    You'll be able to write a bio, upload pictures, highlight your activities and interests, and even list women you've identified as special friends on the site. Of course, all these features come with privacy settings, so you'll never have to share anything with others that you don't want to.

    COUPONS

    Since moms make most of the spending decisions in a typical household, Hawaii.MomsLikeMe.com has an entire section devoted to coupons. Because who doesn't want to save some bucks these days?
