Social Networking Howto

Getting a username on UMW Blogs
Please note: If you already have an account on UMW Blogs you can skip this step, and go directly to the next one.

If you don't have a username already, go to the sign-up page and enter a username and e-mail address (you must use your UMW email). Also, make sure the "Just a username, please" radio button is selected. You will be receiving a confirmation email after the sign-up process is finished which will activate your account.



Note: Your username and password for UWM Blogs is not connected to the other usernames and passwords for accessing campus services such as Banner, BlackBoard, WebMail, etc.

Adding yourself as an author to the Social Networking blog
Once you have a username, go to the Social Networking blog http://socialnetworking.umwblogs.org and login under the Meta section on the sidebar. After this, return to the front page of the blog and click on the Add me! button to become an author on this blog.
