Your profile is your way to express yourself. Hopefully, in our case, they'll help us get re-aquainted with each other.
To edit your profile, click the menu button at the top of the page.
Username: This is the name you signed up with.
Password: Use this only if you wish to change your password.
* Email address: This is required and it must be a valid email address where you can pick up a confirmation email and activate your account. It can be hidden if you don't wish for it to be viewed.
* Display name: This is the name that will be displayed for you. Please use your first name or nickname.
The personal information section is not required. Do not fill in anything you wish to keep private.
Avatar: This is the picture that will be associated with you in your profile and each of your posts. It would be great if we all used photos, but feel free to choose anything that represents you. If you do not like any of the options available, you can use any picture on the internet by entering its url address. To use a photo off of your harddrive, upload it to a server first, like www.imageshack.us. If you need assistance with this, just ask!
I have added some avatars from pictures I found at www.britner.com. You are welcome to use yours, but if you prefer to use something else, that's fine too. If anyone wishes I remove their photo, please let me know.
Personal text: This is text that will be listed under your avatar with each of your posts. For now, I've used mine to explain how I'm related to the family ("Granddaughter of Larry, daughter of Valarie"). If someone else has a better idea of how to use this, share it!
Signature: This will be at the bottom of all of your posts. Many people use personal quotes or banners. You don't have to use anything at all, and if you change your mind later, it will affect all of your posts, even past.
Instant Messengers: These are also optional and will just give members other ways of contacing you.
