I've seen a lot of posts, generally from newer members, asking for help with various board functions. Posting an avatar, uploading music... Basic stuff, mostly.

Some while ago, I said I was gonna do a tutorial on this kinda stuff when I got some free time. Well, I finally got some free time
Here's the first one. This one's on using the site's music features, because that's what I was doing when I decided to write it. It's written for a user with very limited computer knowledge, so I hope nobody thinks I'm talking down to them. There will be more of these if there's interest.

Comments welcome.[ Edited per Uncs instruction--The good one is further down!!..Karen


OK, looks like there's some interest.

I figure I can crank one of these out every couple of weeks or so, given my current workload. That one took all afternoon to put together, but I did it on the spur of the moment, without a script or anything.

I wasn't real happy with the graphics quality in the original .pdf file, so I'm posting a better version. I also fixed some typos and such along the way. I guess I should have proofed the document more carefully before publication.....

The graphics in the first edition were too blurry. I was trying to minimize file size to save bandwidth and make for a faster download, not cause eyestrain.

So.... Back to the source documents. I gave it a few other minor tweaks while I was at it, then re-encoded the whole thing. The difference in file size should only make about 4-5 seconds difference in download time, even on dial-up. But the graphics are worlds better, IMNSHO.

Now, if a mod was to happen along and delete the earlier edition...
