This will boggle your mind... Take your time and follow the instructions.

1. I will ask you to click on the link below to do a very simple math game. During the game, you will be asked to write down a 3-4 digit number and to circle one of those digits. After the game is over, add a comment to this post that includes the 3-4 digit number you chose and the digit you circled so we can all see what numbers we chose. You will want to know.
   
2. After you click on the link, and after reading each window, click on the boy in the lower right corner.
   
3. In the last window, type in your answer in the white box using the keyboard (there is NO cursor). You will be amazed....and no, I don't know how it's done. (Why not ask someone you know who is interested in pursuing a math career and then add a comment here to explain it.)
   
4. OK, click this link: http://digicc.com/fido
   
5. Add a comment with the two numbers.

How to create and develop your "Brief Description" (BD) area in your personal blog

1. Hyperlinks are the workhorse of the Internet and they are easy to create. Click here to review or learn how to make a hyperlink. In the next few steps, you will be creating a hyperlink for a very important post.
2. We request that you limit the size of this space to under 15 lines so that that blog does not dominate the list of other blogs when people click on the Browse link in the new release of code that is currently being tested on our development test system. (Demo)
3. Let's make sure that you are in your blog and not in some one else's or a community blog. (If you are not sure, click here.)
4. I want you to create one of the most important posts in your blog. It's called "My LifeWork Portal". It makes it easy for you to jump to all of our posts in one, two or three clicks. Click here to create that post. After you save it, view the post and write down its post number. The post number is just before ".html" on the URL. The URL is in the address box in your browser. The URL for this post is http://lifeworkps.com/new/weblog/3159.html and the post number is 3159. In the next few steps, you will place a link to your post in your BD area.
5. COPY the following text in red. You will PASTE it into a new post in the next step. NOTE: The BD section of your LWPS profile is the only section that does not tolerate two or more contiguous spaces (blanks). If you want to have more than two spaces, as between two sentences, you must insert one or two <BR> html codes or all text AFTER the second blank space will not be displayed.
   
   Key posts in my personal blog.<ol><li><a href=http://lifeworkps.com/{your-username}/weblog/{post-number}.html>My LifeWork 1) Plans 2) Profiles 3) ePortfolios and 4) Portal</a><li>...<li>...<li><a href="http://lifeworkps.com/new/weblog/2604.html">Are your LifeWork Portal, Plans, ePortfolios and Profiles posts up to date?</a></ol>
   
6. Click on "Post an entry" and create a post with the title "My Brief Description" and PASTE your clipboard contents into the Body of the post. Find {your-username} and {post-number} in the red text you just copied and replace {your-username} (including the brackets) with your user-name, and {post-number} (including the brackets) with the post number you just wrote down from step 3 above.
   I'm recommending you put this BD information in a post first because it is much easier to edit it there than in the small BD section offered in your profile. Remember to add your initials to the Keywords section. Now, before you save this post with the appropriate access restriction (AR), COPY all the text in the Body. You'll PASTE it into that small area in your profile in step 7.
7. Click on "Your Profile" then "Edit this profile".
8. In the second profile box under "Brief Description", PASTE the contents of your"My Brief Description" post from above. Go to the bottom and click on "Save your profile". Your BD area has been updated.
9. Whenever you want to make changes to your BD - to remove, add, or change a link - just follow steps 5-7 above.
10. Optional: You will notice "List of community posts | e | p | ?" at the bottom of BD for this "New member!" community. Click here to learn what it is and how you can add it to your BD.
