New to ExhibitFiles? Tips to get you started

April 29th, 2008 by Wendy Pollock

For those new to ExhibitFiles, you may be wondering what you can do now that you’ve set up an account. Here are a few ideas:Add a photo to your profile—Log in, click on the Profile tab, and look for “update thumbnail.” Choose “upload a new image” and browse your computer to locate an image of yourself. Mark the part you want as your thumbnail by clicking and dragging the box. Choose “edit profile” to add blog and Flickr feeds.Comment on a case study or review—When you comment, the person who posted the case study or review gets a message and knows someone’s been reading and thinking about the post.Favorite a post—As more material is added to the site, being able to browse by “popularity” helps users find their way around, and the more often a post is favorited, the higher its “popularity” ranking.Contact another member—If you want to get directly in touch with another registered ExhibitFiles member, you can usually contact them through a link in their profile (“contact this member”). To allow other members to contact you, check off a box you’ll find when you edit your profile.Create a case study, write a review—You can work on a draft, email it to someone else, and even after you publish your case study or review, you can still edit it.Tag—Actually, you don’t even have to be logged in to add a tag to a case study or review. This helps make the browse page more useful to everyone.And another tip:Use Firefox—If you don’t have this browser, you can download it free here.
