Logging In

  • You must be logged in to add or edit content.
  • If you are not the site administrator, you will need to register as a user and request that your administrator give you appropriate permissions.
  • If your site permits self-registration, look for the small block called “User login” on the main page of the site (usually on the right or the left of the page), and click the link that says, "Create new account."
  • If your site does not have a public login block, you can access to the login form by going to http://<your site name>/?q=user
    • The next page that comes up will generally have some information on the site's policies for registration.
    • After reading them, to register, enter a user name of your choice and an email address to which you have access and hit "submit".
    • Then check your email account.
    • Within a few minutes, you should get an automatically generated email confirming your registration and giving you an initial password to use.
    • Now you're ready to log in.
  • If you have a user name and password look for the "User login" form, or open the login page at http://<your site name>/?q=user, then enter your user name and password and click "submit".
    • When the next page loads it will include a new menu section with your user name at the top. This is the navigation menu that  you use to start entering and editing content.
