HOW TO USE
(usernames and passwords are in the email sent to you...
please keep them private and do not lose them)
1. HOME PAGE www.YOURDOMAIN.com (or .net)
- direct people to type in your URL (domain name) in the address bar (up
at the top where you put in www) NOT in search engine fields like
google
- you will eventually be able to be found by search engines, but it takes a while for the spiders to
know you exist and find you
- you can have your photo on the home page changed three times per year
- you can have the "BIO" button or an option having a "RESUME" button
(we suggest a BIO button and update on the Ning site - see
below)
- you have the option of having an the "contact my agent" link
removed (we suggest you leave it active)
2. GMAIL www.gmail.com
- you either created your own gmail account or we created
it for you (check username and password in the email)
- your "messages" from the form (JOTFORM - see
below) on the home page will be directed to this email account
** (parents will also receive a copy of these
messages at their email address)
** the gmail account was also used to set up your
BLIP, ANALYTICS and JOTFORM accounts
- you can also set gmail to forward your gmail to any other address
3. ANALYTICS www.google.com/analytics
- use the same username and password as your gmail account
- once logged look for the "orange bar" at the top and then select your website
- you will come to the "dashboard"... just click on links and play, play, play
(this is how you learn - you can't break anything)
- you will be able to find out who is visiting your site, where they are from, etc. etc.
4. JOT FORM www.jotform.com
- you may use this service to check your archived messages or delete messages (messages
from the form on your home page)
(messages sent to your agent when the agent linked
is clicked on go "only" to your agent)
- the messages go to "both" your gmail account
and your parent (if applicable) AND ALSO to jotform for saving
- your free service allows you to archive up to 100 messages per month
- use the username for your gmail account "without the .com, .net or .ca and the same password as gmail
(see the email sent to you
- once logged in do the following to read your messages
* click once on "MY FORMS"
* click once on "contact"
* click once on "Reports"
* select Output type "Web"
* click on "Next"
* you are now looking at your report
* you can "delete items" by click on the "X" and then clicking on the "Back" button.
- play, play, play... that's how you learn
5. Facebook... This should be set up by yourself and a link
will be put on your site to your Facebook page.
SECURITY FOR CHILDREN
1. as children are actors their names are going to be circulating ... IMDB, movie trailers, etc.
so it is okay as long as you use the Internet wisely
2. the goal is to ensure that people are not using
a child's name in a derogatory manner or using their identity,
that is why you purchased their name
- you can also sign up their name with facebook and
twitter (you don't have to use it, just make sure no one else
can use their name)
3. the website names were purchased either by parents and using private registration or by
visionberry using their names and addresses as contact
... when purchased by visionberry, name
registration does not use the parents or the child's name
4. the gmail accounts are monitored by parents and are not
the responsibility of visionberry
5. the gmail addresses are not on the site in anyway, they
cannot be found by spammers... everything goes through a system called jotform
(see above)
6. all the emails are also copied and sent to parents email accounts,
unless requested to not do so by parents
7. web viewers are encouraged to contact the child via the agent
8. ensure all security settings are set properly for Facebook
(if you use facebook)
