Getting Started - New Members

Welcome! Here's how to start using your membership tools.

Log in using your user name and password

The 'Login' form can help you find a lost password, or create an account if you don't have one yet.

Create items to publish on LocalHealth

Once you are logged in, click 'my folder' at the top of the screen.

Inside your folder, you have a light green tool bar near the top of the page.  Click 'add item' and select an item to add.  An editing form will open, and you create the item by filling in the fields and clicking 'Save' at the bottom.

The top right item on your tool bar tells you the state of your item.  Items start out in the 'private' state - only you and site managers can see them.  To submit the item for publishing, click the state indicator and select 'submit'.  Once it is reviewed by a site manager, the item can be published for all to see on the Internet.

Customize your profile

Click your user name at the top of the page to open your profile.  Your profile shows your user name, provides a message box where visitors can send you a message, and lists contents you have created (viewers can only see the items for which they have permissions - ie, managers will see all items, anonymous visitors will only see published items).

Click 'edit' at the top of the profile page to customize your profile.  You may type a short biographical statement or upload an image if you like.

Change your password

Your profile editing form also provides a link to change your password.

Help is always available.

Just click 'contact' at the top of any page if you have questions for the site managers.
