Help Using cachalotalumni.org

TO DO

This help page should be a general overview of the subtler site features, and not delve deeply into how to use the forum or gallery.

The first thing to do is embed a reduced screen shot, with circled/highlighted callouts. This should cover at least:

• the navigation tabs and submenus, for moving about the site
• the search widget, especially describing what gets searched
• the font sizing widget
• sidebars
• the article body area

The callout image could also be a client-side image map so that clicking on relevant regions gets you to the text associated with it. Some nifty hover logic could be useful.

It may also be worth separate discussion of the following items:

• embedded flipbook and mini-album controls (need to finalize a "look" for these)
• external links
• "tooltips"
• ??
• what to do if you have problems

We might also want a "Quick Start" header, with instructions to:

• create a forum account
• link it with your member ID
• post your introductory message
• surf around the site
