Contains a list of instructions for common tasks you might want to do on this website. They're here because you don't need to do them very often, and we all forget what we don't do frequently. (Some of us forget what we DO do frequently.....)

HOWTO: Change My Password
First, you have to know your old password! Assuming you have that, do this:
 
1. Click on "Site Settings" in the blue bar at the top of the page.
 
2. Under "Manage My Information", click on "Update My Information"
 
3. Once you're to the "Update My Information" page, click on "Change My Password" - it's the very last line on the page, under the thin blue line.
 
4. Enter your new password twice in the boxes provided on the "Change Password" page.
 
5. Click the "Change Password" button, just to the left of and below the new password boxes.
HOWTO: Get an Alert message from the site
One way of keeping up with things is to go to the site frequently and check all your areas of interest for changes and new postings. Frankly, that's time-consuming and the site doesn't change all that quickly. Here's a trick that will tell you when your favorite list (or lists) are changed:
 
1. Go to the list you want to monitor, for example, Announcements, which happens to be on the main page.
 
2. Click on the name of the list (Announcemnts). You will be taken to the page that lists all of the entries in that list.
 
3. On the left-hand side of the page, in the light blue area, you will see the heading "Actions." Under that, you will see "Alert Me". Click on "Alert Me" and you will be taken to yet another page.
 
4. This new page contains the list of options for your alert. Note that you can have them sent to a different email address than your standard one. You can choose how often you want to see the alerts, and whether or not to notify you for changes as well as new postings.
 
5. Once you have chosen you options, simply click on "OK" at the bottom of the page. You will now begin receiving the alerts you requested.
 
Note that the alerts don't contains the whole message. It's just a way to tell you to go check the site. Also, you have to set the alert for every list you want to monitor. My recommendation: Monitor the Announcements and Discussion lists.
HOWTO: Review a Document in "Documents for Review"
1. Go to the "Documents Up for Review" list and open the document you want to review. You can read it online, save it for later, or print it, as you wish.
 
2. Once you have reviewed the document - for spelling, grammar, content accuract, overall effectiveness, design, etc. - please add a new comment to the list under "Discussions" with the same name as the document.
 
You may also want to read the other comments and post replies to them with your agreement or disagreement
 
Remember, the more people review the document, and the more thoroughly they review, the better the document will be. Be gentle in your comments, but remember that the object is to produce a better document, not to praise the creator!
