- HI Louise. Great to see you here. Good to see another person interested in swapping and trading. One suggestion, can you please mount your personal photo in the place of the Swap Sitter logo. And, then, click here to add Swapsitter to our registry of local groups, companies and other organizations supporting Transition values in New Zealand. Doing this makes http://www.facebook.com/Swapsitter visible and important to all our members. When you're finished setting up this new joint group, I'll be there with some further assistance. Let me know when you have questions.
