Click on the hot link for My Business Card and you will see a screen that has a business card with your name and e-mail address and the NewWorkSpaces logo. Near the top of the screen you will see a navigation bar like this:

Click on the edit button and a new window will open on your screen like this:

 

Enlarge this new window to full size to make it easier to see and use. In Windows at the top of the window, on the left, you will see three icons . Click on the middle one to go to full screen size.

Use the scroll bar to look over all the different entry fields. As you can see, there are a lot of options for how to tell people what you want them to know about you.

The first fields are for your name and e-mail address. This is the place you can change your e-mail address if you want to receive information from NewWorkSpaces at a different address than the one under which you were originally registered.

In the Bio section, give an overview of who you are. Some people post a CV of bio or resume they already have in this section. The kinds of controls you are familiar with from Word Processing work are all present so you can have your information look the way you want it to.

After the Bio section, you'll find a place where you can insert a picture. If you don't have an electronic picture of yourself, get one scanned. It really helps build community when people can see your face. Use the Windows-like navigation to find your picture on your computer -- click Browse, navigate to the file location on your computer, click on open, and you're set.

Next you'll see a series of four text boxes that give you more room to describe who you are. You can leave these blank, and just rely on your Bio, or you can fill one or all of them in. The four fields are Expertise/Competencies, Previous Positions, Memberships, and Interests.

Next you will see a series of fields for you to use to give your community information about how you can be contacted.

Please leave the fields for Template and Theme unchanged. We'll describe their use later.

Finally, be sure to click the Finish (or if you don't want to submit your changes, Cancel) button in the lowest right hand corner of the window:
