Getting Started - Creating your Account.

Before you can use the features of the Mother-Child Website, you must create an account on our network. This account allows you to find and contact other researchers in the directory, create weblog entries and comment on other scientists' entries.

To create your account, click on the link in the sidebar at the right of the page (or in the middle of the front page):

You'll then be brought to the 'User Account Creation' page.

Fill in your information on this page - fields marked with a red asterisk are mandatory - and when you have completed your profile, you will be emailed your password which can then be used to log into the network.

Note that your email address is kept confidential; no one can see it without your consent.

Return to the site, and log in by entering your username and password into the fields provided.

You may want to click on the 'My Account' link and then the 'Edit' tab to change your assigned password to something else of your choosing.

Now that your account is created, it's time to start blogging and meeting other researchers!
