Blog Information

The following user guide will help you get more out of your blogging experience.

Creating a New Account

You do not have to register to add a comment; however by registering, your comments — after your first comment — will appear directly without waiting for approval.

• To create an account scroll down to the “Login or Register” section in the right-hand menu and select “Register.”
• On the next screen enter a username and an e-mail address, then click “Register.”
• Go to your email inbox and retrieve the automatically-generated password.
• To log in, go back to the Researchers Notebook and enter your username and password on the Login page, then click “Login.”
• You should be forwarded to a Profile and Personal Options page. There you can add your real name, personal or organization’s web site address, Instant Message ID, biographical information, and, most important, change your password.
• Note: If you forget your password, the website gives you the option of having it sent to your e-mail address so you can retrieve it.
• The page also gives you the option of selecting what public profile name you wish to appear with your comments. Be aware that you first have to add your First/Last Name and Nickname and save the profile before you will be able to select them to use as your public profile name.

Leaving a Comment

• You now have the option of not only commenting on the post, but also commenting on other persons’ comments.
• You have the option of being notified of follow-up comments via e-mail.

Captcha

In addition to several anti-spam features, the blog is protected by the service, “reCaptcha”.

• Before anyone can leave a comment, they have to verify they are human (as opposed to a spambot) by entering the two words—with the space—as shown to them.
• The service also provides an audio-verification method for those unable to see the words.
• If the words are unreadable you can click the refresh/recycle symbol to get a new verification challenge.
