Login to the site?

There is a 'Login' link at the top right of every page on this site.  Click that and login with either your full name (First Last) or your email address or your OS X server account username.  Contact us if you are listed on the site but do not know your password, or use the 'request new password' tab on the login page to reset your password.  If you are not listed on the site, click the register new account tab on the login page and fill out that form.  It may take a day or so to approve your account.  We need to verify you are a USU student or alumni.

Upload my Photo and Edit my Profile?

As soon as you login, you are taken to your own profile homepage.  You'll see an 'edit' tab at the top of the profile.  Click that, and there are various sections you can edit in your profile.  The first page is where you can change your email address or password, or upload your photo or set other preferences.  The second page 'Basic Info' is where you can set things such as a link to an outside homepage or a link to your vita file and write a little blurb about yourself if you wish.  The 'Contact Info' page is where you can optionally put an office address or phone number and other contact info (don't put any personal or home info online for your own security).  There are other sections as well to write about your research interests and background experience.

Upload and show my vita or resume on my profile page?

Login to the site if you have not already.  Go to your profile homepage.  Click the "Personal files" tab at the top of your profile.  At the bottom of that page are a browse and upload button.  Click browse and select the file to upload, then click upload.
 
After the file has uploaded, right click (or control click on mac) the "view" link in the middle of the file window.  Copy that URL to where the file is located.
 
Now click the 'edit' tab at the top of your profile page.  Click the 'Basic Info' link and scroll down to where there is a field for "Vita".  Paste in the link to your vita file.
 
How do I edit and create wiki pages?
 

Hide my email address or turn off email notifications?

Click the edit tab on your homepage (profile page), and then click the "Basic Info" link to go to the basic info section of your profile.   At the bottom is an option to 'hide your email address'.  In the first section you can also set your email preferences, but I recommend keeping that turned on.
