Please perform the following steps to begin using your LWPS account after you have registered.



  1. Join this "New member!" community: In the upper right sidebar of this LWPS Development community, your will find the "Profile Owner" box. At the bottom of that box is the link that says "Click here to join this community". Please click on it to join this community.
  2. Add some "friends": Click on these links (me and Jeffrey), then click on the link at the bottom of each of our "Profile Owner" boxes that says "Click here to make this person a friend."
  3. Create a GAR: I created a Group Access Restriction (GAR) called "CMagic only" so only you and I can view certain posts. I will add "Using CMagic only GAR" on those private posts. You should create one called "Pete only" so you can restrict your private posts to me.
  4. Set your email option: Click on your "Account Settings" in upper right corner and set your "Email options" to "Yes" so you receive email when comments are added to posts that you "marked as interesting".
  5. Create a "TOC" post: In the upper left corner, you will find the link "Your Blog". Click on it anytime you want to go to your personal/professional blog. Please click on it. Under your name, you will see the link "Post an entry". Click on it. Create a post with a title of either "TOC" or "Table of Contents" or whatever you wish, then set the Access Restriction to "Public" and SAVE the post. We will add content to it in a subsequent step.
  6. Link to "TOC" post: To the far right of the line where you found "Your Blog" find the link "Your Profile". Click on it (or your iconic image in your "Profile Owner" box) anytime you want to go to your personal/professional profile. Please click on it. Click on "Edit your profile", then scrool down a few lines to find the "Brief Description" section. Type in a link to your TOC post. Set the Access Restriction to "Public". Go to the bottom and SAVE your changes. Notice the appearance of a hyperlink in your "Profile Owner" box to your "TOC" post.
  7. Create a public "Mailbox" post so people can add comments to communicate with you. See mine as an example. Add a link to it in your "TOC" or in your "Brief Description".
  8. When you have completed these tasks, add a comment to that effect. I will get an email.
  9. Now click on this post # 1922 and follow the instructions to copy its contents into a post in your blog.

If you have a large post, or a large "Who am I" section in your personal or community Profile, you might want to create a Table of Contents at the top to facilitate navigation.

Try it out. Click on each TOC entry below. Then click "(Top)" to go back to the TOC.

Table of Contents

(Top)

THE ESSENCE OF DOVE ©


(Top)

DOVE-The Process


(Top)

DOVE and SPIRITUALITY


---




Here is how to code the above script. The two key html commands are ... name=... and ... href=#... . Just copy the text in red.
<hr><a name="Top"></a>Table of Contents
<ul>
<li><a href="#Essence">THE ESSENCE OF DOVE ©</a>
<li><a href="#TheProcess">DOVE-The Process</a>
<li><a href="#DOVEandSPIRITUALITY">DOVE and SPIRITUALITY</a>
<li>etc.
</ul>
<a href="#Top">(Top)</a><a name="Essence"></a>
<h1>THE ESSENCE OF DOVE ©</h1>
<a href="#Top">(Top)</a><a name="TheProcess"></a>
<h1>DOVE-The Process</h1>
<a href="#Top">(Top)</a><a name="DOVEandSPIRITUALITY"></a>
<h1>DOVE and SPIRITUALITY</h1>
