<div class='textboxV3' id='pgTextboxV3_1'>WHY SHOULD I BECOME A MEMBER?<br />While there are many things available<br />to the nonmember of my site, becoming a member gives you more options. When you become a member, you can experience some of<br />the many exclusive interactive activities on this site. <br /><br />When you become a member, you will have access to chatrooms.<br /><br />You will also be assigned a common room which, upon your logging in, will be on the menu. There you can learn about your common room. <br /><br />As soon as members volunteer to be "Hogwarts" teachers, I will be able to give members live-action Hogwarts classrooms, and will provide teachers<br />a teacher's lounge (for teachers only)<br />and profile accessible to all readers. Teachers will be "grading" and creating their student's assignments. (One assignment is one multiple-choice, or yes-or-no, question.) Anyone interested in becoming a teacher should e-mail me telling me their user name (you must be a member, or at least have applied for membership), which teacher they'd like to be, and why. I will inform you as soon as possible whether you have<br />been selected. <br /><br />I may appoint certain members to editorial positions on The Zine or The Seer or, more likely, a "column" of some sort. In case you don't know what I am talking about, let me explain. The Zine is an e-zine geared towards towards teenagers which discusses real-life topics, while The Seer contains articles relating to the fantasy world of Harry Potter.<br /><br />Members are able to add their profiles to a Members' Directory. This<br />directory allows for you to meet new people, and establish correspondence<br />with them through e-mail or instant messanger. This opportunity is offered to members only.<br /><br />HOW DO I JOIN?<br />Currently, my site does not require membership; it simply allows for it. With these settings, Moonfruit doesn't<br />allow me to directly ask you questions when you apply for membership. Thus, this is how I expect applicants to proceed until this<br />problem is corrected:<br /><br />The first thing you should do is apply.<br />Click on the "Login to site" button. If you are already a member of Moonfruit, login. If not, click on the button which says "Create new account," and completely fill out the form that follows. Then, regardless of<br />whether you logged in or registered for Moonfruit, click on the <br />"Quick Join" button on the menu bar. A grey window will pop up. On this window is an orange button which says "Add site." Click on it. <br /><br />Within the next 24 hours, you should send me an e-mail at wordsfromdaheart@netscape.net . Your e-mail should provide the username with which you registered and answers to the following questions. Those questions with a "#"<br />by them MUST be answered.<br /><br />What is your first name and age? (#)<br /><br />Do you live in the United States? If not, what country do you live in?<br /><br />Do you want to be in a common room? If so, which one? (#)<br /><br />Would you like to participate in Members' chats? If so, which EST times would be most convenient for you? (#)<br /><br />What kinds of things are you interested in? What are your hobbies and/or talents? (#) <br /><br />Do you like to write? If so, what genres do you compose; what topics do you write about? (#)<br /><br />Are you interested in becoming a Hogwarts teacher? (#)<br /><br />Are you interested in writing for the Zine or the Seer? (#)<br /><br />Do you have any suggestions as to how I could improve my site? <br /><br />Other than the methods already mentioned, are there any other ways in which you plan to contribute to this<br />site?<br /><br />If I do not receive an e-mail like the one outlined within 48 hours of your initial application, I will not grant you membership. Likewise, if I do not approve of your application, I will not<br />grant you membership. Whether or not I approve you for membership, I will USUALLY e-mail you with an explanation. You will always be informed if you are approved foir membership. My discretion governs whether I inform those who are not granted membership.<br /><br />WHERE SHOULD I GO IF I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR PROBLEMS INVOLVING MEMBERSHIP OR THIS SITE IN GENERAL?<br />If you have any questions or problems involving this site, e-mail me at wordsfromdaheart@netscape.net</div>
