How to Get Started

If you have registered in the past, no need to re-register – just log in to your existing account! If you aren’t sure how to log in, request a password reset and enter your email address. Within a few moments, you should receive an email containing a link that allows you to create a new password.

To register:

1. Register by going to the New Member Registration page. You will have to wait a little while until your account is activated by an Administrator. This can take up to a week, though as we get closer to May, we pick up the pace! You will receive a confirmation email when your account has been activated
2. Once your account is activated, log in using the Log In link in the main menu.

To post on the blog:

3. Add an image to your post by clicking the Choose File button and browsing your computer for the image you’d like to use. You can add up to 4 images – just click the Add another image link to include more.
4. Click Submit Post to publish your story!
