Taking part is half the fun..
- Site Setup
- All the software that you will ever need to write your own material of put your pictures up on the site here ready for you to use.
- You don't have to invest in software, hardware or training - it's easy: it's free.
- Membership
- You have to be a member to do anything more serious than comment on an existing page.
- This is to prevent irresponsible people 'spamming' the site with rubbish or noxious material.
- Membership costs you nothing, now or in the future, and we do not release any details of our membership to third parties: it is confidential between you and us.
- Form Driven
- No one likes computer forms but the RbA ones are simplicity itself.
- Adding written material
- A simple step by step procedure is laid out on the other side of this page and really doesn't need you to display anything more than normal typing skills.
- I want to add pictures to my material.
- Then click on the following link.
- Adding images to my work.
- Which will also cover integrating images and text.
The 
of sending material to RbA.
- Click on the 'Create Content' button
- You'll find it towards the top left of this page.
- Select the type of material you want to add
- For a normal website page select 'Interest Group Page" but you can also set up your own blog or contribute to a forum
- Direct link to the Interest Group Page form
- Complete the title block
- This is the title that will appear at the head of your contribution
- Then select which Interest Group most suites your peice. If none of them do select 'Not Applicable'.
- You can always set up an interest group of your own!
- Type your material
- You can either type your material direct into the 'body' section of the form which will scroll up to give you as much space as you need, or write in your word processor at home and then paste it into the 'body'
- Click on the 'Submit' button
- Scroll down past all the options to the bottom of the page and click on 'Submit'.
Of course, if you want to make a more sophistivated page you can by using the 'Use RbA to the Full' link, but the simple stages above will get you going
Why don't you try now?
