Getting Started With GetWeblished (02 August 2006 14:09)
So you've made the wise choice and got registered with GetWeblished
well done
Now I’m guessing if you've come here, your feeling a little overwhelmed with the site and need a little help on getting started, well you've come to the right place
so lets start as the say at they beginning
you've just registered with GetWeblished and that little link in the top right corner which says MyGetweblished, is your starting ground ja? well why not open this page in a new window so you can keep me open as well
Not sure how???
don’t worry just click file >new>window eh voila I’m open in two windows or if your more of a keyboard type just click ctrl - n and there you have it
right in that other window you have open click MyGetweblished (if your are not logged in you will be prompted to enter the email addy and password that you signed up with - once you're logged in just click on MyGetweblished again
and lets have a look at all the things you can do from here
Right you're other window should have a screen that looks a little something like this:
Well for starters I’m pretty sure it would be a lot nicer if you had a nice stunning picture of yourself rather than a blank white space that says no picture? What you reckon? Ok don’t worry it’s not rocket science and I reckon if you follow these steps really carefully you’ll have a foxy picture of yourself up on your profile in under 5 minutes
All you have to do is: + click on "your pictures page" which is right next to that ugly white box with the “no picture”text. now click the browse button
+ locate the photograph you wish to use on your computer’s hard
drive (Maximum file size is 4000 KB and these file types are
accepted: JPG, GIF, TIFF and BMP)
+ add a short caption in the space provided.
+ click upload, and your profile pic will appear as a thumbnail
below!
Remember you can change your default/primary profile photograph at any time, by selecting the “make primary” button underneath the photo. But by default the first photo you upload will become your primary photograph.
Easy as ey??
Right lets go back to mygetweblished now, looking good looking good
Now you’ll probably noticed you’ve got one friend in your friend space, this is Miss V, your default friend on GetWeblished and a great place to start cuz you’ll find links to me there if you get lost and need help, now don’t get me wrong she’s a grand friend to have on your list and all but let’s face it you need more than one friend. So lets get invite some people to getweblished and make ourselves look a little more popular ey?
This part is even easier
+ click on the invite a friend button just in the my friends area
+ if you already have an address book with one of the email providers listed on the far right select the provider and enter your log in details for that account, GW will automatically generate a list of all your contacts and you can pick which ones you want to send invites to pretty nifty eh
+ what if I don’t have an address book or e-mail accounts with any of these providers? Don’t panic as long as you know some e-mail addy’s of your mates all you have to do is enter them in that box at the bottom (you can put as many as you like, just be sure to separate them with a coma) add an optional message if you like above.
For instance
“yo hommies,
Im down with the GetWeblished kru now innit? Come register and check out my swanky profile” ok so you don’t really have to write something like that but you get the idea
+ now click invite and you’ll be on your way to getting your mates on and looking like mr or ms popular in no time
Right that’s enough to get you moving for now there is more to come
And fear not there will be a nice concise faq list on the way too in the mean time if your stuck on anything be sure to contact me
Happy weblishing
