HOW TO REQUEST A USER NAME and LOGIN TO THE WEBSITE

To be assigned a member login (user name) and password, email the Web Servant with your full name and a valid email address.

You should receive your user name and password in your email within one week.

The Login Form is located on the lower left-hand side of the page.

Type in your user name and password, and click “Login.”

The FIRST thing you should do once you login is change your password!

On the left-hand side of the page is the “Member Info” menu.

Click on “Your Details” to access your account.

Under “Edit Your Details” there is a space for you to type a password—type your NEW password here.  Then, type that same NEW password in where it says “Verify Password.”  Make this password easy for yourself to remember!

Click on the icon that looks like a computer disk (in the upper right-hand corner of the screen) to save your user details.  Congratulations!  You’ve created a new password for your account.  Use this new password each time you login to the member website.

HOW TO SUBMIT NEWS or ANNOUCEMENTS OF SPECIAL EVENTS

To read the latest news items, or view the congregational events calendar, simply click on the category you choose in the main menu on the upper left-hand side of the page.

If you would like to submit a news story, click on “Submit News” under the “Member Info” menu on the left-hand side of the page.

For each news story, you need to provide a TITLE, and a CATEGORY.

Click anywhere inside of the first box (“Intro Text”) to start typing your news story.  If you have a lot to type, you might consider typing the entire story in another application (like Microsoft Word) and then copying and pasting the story into the website.  This will avoid the potential problem of the website “timing out” and losing your work!

Once you have the story written, simply click on the icon that looks like a computer disk (in the upper right-hand corner of the screen) to save your article.

You should see a message at the top of the page that says, “Thanks for your submission. Your submission will now be reviewed before being posted to the site.”

A website administrator will review your article and then publish it to the appropriate section, within one week.

HOW TO SUBMIT PICTURES

To view pictures or to submit your own pictures to the website, click on “Photo Album” in the main menu on the left-hand side of the page.

The Photo Album can only be viewed if you are logged in to the website!  This is a “Members Only” section, and cannot be seen unless you have typed in your user name and password!

You can view photos of various congregational groups or events by clicking on the category name or album cover.

To upload your pictures, click on “User Panel” in the menu at the top-center of the page.  This will take you to a page that displays the pictures you have added to the site.

Click on “New Picture.”

You will need to give each picture a title, and choose a category for each picture.  The “description” of each photo is optional, but will be helpful for those who want to view your photos.  Put your name (or the name of the photographer, if that’s different) where it asks for the “Author.”

Then, click on “Browse” to find the picture file on your computer.  Please note that images must be JPEG, JPG, PNG or GIF format.

Once you’ve selected the picture file, click “Upload.”

You should get a message that says, “Image Successfully Added!”

A website administrator will review your picture(s) and then publish it to the appropriate photo album, within one week.

MEMBER PHOTO DIRECTORY

One suggestion is to place a photo of yourself and/or your family in the photo album titled “Member Photo Directory.”

PHOTOS OF CHILDREN

In order to respect parents’ and guardians’ rights and responsibilities, PLEASE GET PERMISSION BEFORE POSTING PICTURES OF OTHER PEOPLE’S CHILDREN.  We want the photo albums to be a tool to help connect our congregational family, not something that will cause distress or concern.  Please respect parents’ and guardians’ rights to decide how pictures of their children will be used.
