If you are a new user of this site, here are a few things to help you get started.

  • You must register to get the real benefits of the community. Press the big GREEN “START” BUTTON in the right hand sidebar to get started or press HERE.
  • There is some personal info that you need to add in your “dashboard” (the area where you arrive immediately after signing in) – select the “User” menu (on left) then “Your Profile.” (Press here.) At this point, you need to add your first/last name, nickname & ESPECIALLY click on the arrow for the “Display name publicly as” box and select your choice of how your name should be displayed on posts, comments, etc.
  • You may also need to complete your “Profile” for the site. Top (Black) menu – My Account – Profile – Edit Profile.
  • Always hit theActivity” button (black menu, “My Account” / “Activity”) to see the latest notes from the admins and your friends. (Very similar to how Facebook works.)
  • Visit the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page to get some of your questions answered.
  • If you asked for and received a blog, then you should read the short tutorial at the bottom of the FAQ page. If you want a blog, but did not yet request it, press here.

Please visit the Tech Support site regularly. I am creating tutorials for many of the most common issues that you may have with your new website. There will also be a “Ticket” system where you can track your request for help.

You are welcome to post a comment here if something is confusing. I will try to answer as quickly as I can.
