Blog FAQ

How do I Register?
To create an account you will need to visit the Registration page (the join link in the top right corner of the blog page) and complete the form for creating a new account. Here you will specify details such as your login name and email address and specify a password.

I have a Username and Password, How do I Login?
After successfully registering you should have a username and password. You can then visit the login page (sign in link in the top right corner of the blog page) and enter your username and password to login.

I already logged in, why do I get logged off automatically?
When logging in if you do not check the ‘Remember Me’ option you will be automatically logged off after an administrator-defined length of inactivity, usually 20 minutes. If you would like the site to always log you in automatically, please check the ‘Remember Me’ checkbox.

I forgot my username and/or password.
If you forgot your username and/or password you can visit the Forget Your Password page and have both your username and a new password emailed to you by entering the email account you're registered with. You will be sent a new password since we store your password encrypted and have no way of retrieving the original value. Once you receive your username and new password you can login and change your password.

What if I’ve registered but still cannot login?
If you’ve registered and can’t login, check to ensure you have a valid username and password. If you are sure the username and password are valid, but still can’t login you may either require account activation or your account may be on hold. In this case it is best to contact the moderator(s).

I’ve logged in before, but now can’t login?
First check to ensure your username and password are correct. If you still can’t login your account has either been put on hold or deleted due to inactivity.

What is a Profile?
A profile is information about your account that controls how you view information. This includes details about posts you’ve contributed to, personal information you wish to share such as your web address or weblog address, as well as setting that control how you interact with this site such as: themes, time zone, and many other settings.

Why am I required to login to post comments?
Depending upon how the administrator has configured the site you may be required to be logged in before viewing/using these areas. This is primarily to protect the privacy of users who have shared their information or to prevent unwanted/unsolicited emails.

How do I change my Password?
Once logged in you can change your password from your Profile page.

How do I change my Username?
Unless the administrator has configured the site to allow username changes you cannot change you username. Otherwise you can change your username from the Profile page.

How do I change my email address?
Once logged in, you can change your private email address from your Profile page.
