 * 2) Saving to the server
 * 3) Demonstration: How to put a photo in your profile.
 * 4) Work on profile

FirstClass
= = Please note that your FirstClass email address is your_login@ais-dhaka.net (e.g. 14hjones@ais-dhaka.net). This is for people outside of school to use. Test this address. Here are two ways:
 * 1) Check your First Class account.
 * 2) Change these preferences from FirstClass->Preferences:
 * 3) General->Mailbox Style->Separate InBox/OutBox
 * 4) Content->Spell Check->Automatically check on send
 * 5) Messaging->Automatically forward->To another email account you check often (optional)
 * 6) Delete any messages you don't want or need.
 * 1) Send a message to your FirstClass account from another account.
 * 2) Send a message to someone you know (such as your parents) and ask them to reply.

eMac Customization
In the Finder menu, select Go, connect to server. Select Nakshikanta (172.16.75.1) (click the + to save this as a favorite location); type in your username and password provided by your advisor. Select **change your password before** logging in. Change your password; your new password should be easy to remember, but hard to guess.
 * Task: Add an alias to your network folder onto your desktop and Finder windows.**



Then, log in with your username and new password.

Now, find your folder inside the students folder and drag it into an open finder window. Place it into the bottom pane on the left hand side, underneath "Desktop", not inside of it. Now you can always access your files from the Finder menu. You may also leave a copy on your desktop. Tada!

How to upload a photo to the wiki

 * 1) Prepare the photo
 * 2) Find the photo you want on the web and drag it to your desktop.
 * 3) **Rename the photo** so that the first three letters are your initials and the rest of the name describes the photo. Be sure to include an extension as appropriate: .jpg or .gif or .png. For example, I would name this photo, ejc_bangladesh_flag.gif:
 * 1) Be certain it is a low resolution image (less than 300KB).
 * 1) Upload the photo.
 * 2) Click on Upload file in the toolbox on the left.
 * 3) Click Browse and locate the photo on your desktop.
 * 4) Click Upload file.
 * 5) Close the upload window.
 * 6) Place the file in your page.
 * 7) Edit the page you want to place the photo in.
 * 8) Click the Edit/Insert image icon in the editor toolbar.
 * 9) Select the image you want and double click.

Continue your profile
Continue to work on your profile. Remember to include five sections. Here are some suggestions. You should also place images for each of the sections. If you finish adding the images, you can start to work on the banners for each profile section. Check out [|Cooltext] or [|Spell with Flickr] (the one I used to make the banners for this wiki).
 * 1) About Me
 * 2) My Family
 * 3) Someone I admire
 * 4) Plans for my future
 * 5) Places I've Been
 * 6) Favorite Books, Movies, Entertainment
 * 7) Topics I Want to Learn About
 * 8) My Computer
 * 9) My pet(s)
