This pages to help you get the most from this site as easily as possible.

Work in Progress

This site is a work in progress. The goal of this site is to stimulate conversation with the intent of providing tools and perspectives to aid in their own journeys to all who are open to it. While your patience and understanding is requested, this is also an opportunity for you to help shape the effectiveness of the content delivery and also the content itself. In a sense then, the process of building of this sight has already begun the collaboration of helping one another on our collective journey.

Registering

Site registration can occur by either clicking the turquois "Register" button to the upper left of the screen or by first clicking the small "Login" link in the upper right and then clicking the small "Register" link toward the bottom left of the pop up window.

Registration Passcode Prompt

The field requesting a "Passcode" is in place to receive the registration passcode provided in the invitation to join the site. It is not a personal account password. The password to be associated with the account being registered has a field name requesting "Password" rather than "Passcode" and will need to be entered twice.

Logging In

The only way to log in after registering is to click the small "Login" link in the upper right of the site. There are technical complications with providing a Turquoise "Login" button where the "Registration" button is as well. Something intended to be fix once the technical complexity is resolved. (see "Work in Progress")

Logging Out

You can log out either with the Turquoise "Logout" button on the upper left or by clicking the small "Log Out" link in the upper right and then clicking the "Log Out" option in the pop up.

Notifications (watches)

Everyone registering to this site is also automatically registered to be notified when a new WeBlog entry is posted. The assumption here is that these reading are the purpose of registering here in the first place and this automatic notification will save everyone the trouble of checking back only to find no post has been made yet.

Unfortunately there is currently no way to unsubscribe from this notification at this time short of closing your site account. Technically, this is not a site deficiency as tha core function of the site and not truly a subscription list. Still, giving site participants the greatest latitude of choice is important here. So providing that choice is still something on the todo list to change and falls into that "Work in Progress" bucket mentioned above. If this a problem for anyone please do reach out to me directly (Steve@Cichosz.org) and I will find a way to work around this on a case-by-case basis.

Forums

Forums are starting out as the location to ask questions for information not covered in this help page regarding site usage and to make feature/change requests. The intention is, once the basics of the site are settled, and it looks to have become a useful feature, they will be opened up for broader questions and answer discussion by the community. Family, friends and acquaintances can be an excellent resource when we need a little advice. Then, sometimes, it can be easier to anonymously ask the thoughts of others regarding something on our mind. That's the need forum's are hoped to cover down the road.
