Tour

Hi there, thanks for joining the ‘Into The Light’ tour. Not much to know really, although these questions might come to mind:

  1. How can I connect with other family members?
  2. How do I submit a post?
  3. How do I find a post?
  4. How do I download a post?
  5. How do I create a gallery?
  6. How can I help with managing this site?

 

How do I connect with other family members?

  • Go to Forums and participate in conversations of interest or just peruse what’s there

How do I submit a post?

  • Go to ‘Log In’ on the menu. Register, then log in. Next, go to ‘Submit Post’ on the menu. Complete and submit the form. Your submission will be posted immediately. Some of you may have received your login (user name and password) by email. If so, you are ready to go.

How do I find a post?

  • Go to ‘Posts’ on the menu, review the ‘How To Find’ instructions, then use the lists and filters to find what you’re looking for — or just poke about.

How do I download a post?

  • Uhh, you don’t. Not yet, anyway. We’re working on it. In the meantime, there’s always the tried and true method — select text and images, right click and choose ‘save as’. Type a name for the file and navigate to the folder in your computer where you wish to place the file. It’s quick and easy. Galleries images can be grabbed the same way, although one at a a time.

How do I create a gallery?

  • We have yet to find a decent gallery app which site users can operate. However, there is one method — Post By Email — which you can use now. If you have yet to receive instructions on how, please send a request for same through the ‘Contact’ page on this site. The method involves sending an email (which becomes a post) with pictures attached to a secret email address. The email posts immediately to this site and the pictures are automatically placed in a gallery for viewing. Very slick.

How can I help with managing this site?

  • It’s not clear yet how much work will be required. If and when site membership becomes significant, we may well need help managing content. If you’re interested, send us an email through the ‘Contact’ page of this site and we’ll keep your name on file. Thank you for your interest

Enjoy!
