This tutorial will take you through creating an account on activateperformingsrts.org.uk and creating your first listing..

Creating an Account

In order to add content to activateperformingarts.org.uk you’ll first need to create an account. Creating an account is quick and painless – all you’ll need is an email address. The steps below will take you through everything you need to know in three easy steps.

Step one: Visit the sign up page at:

http://activateperformingarts.org.uk/signup/

Open up the link above in a web browser. You might want to open it in a new window or tab so you can still read these instructions too.

The page that loads will look something like this:

Name: In the name field enter your own name or that of your organisation. This will be shown as the author of any content you add to the site

Login: This is the log-in name that you’ll use when signing in to the site. Enter a username that you’ll be able to remember. You can use any characters out of a-z, A-Z, 0-9, dash, underscore and the @ sign.

Email: Enter a valid email address to which you have access. An activation link will be sent to this email address which you’ll need to click before you can use your account.

Password and Confirm Password: Enter a password you’ll remember to secure your account. Passwords must be at least 6 characters long.

Subscribe to the newsletter: If you want to subscribe to our weekly ebulletin check this box. You can easily unsubscribe at a later date.

Once you’ve filled out the form, go ahead and click the “Sign Up” button at the bottom. Assuming you entered valid details you should get a confirmation message at the top of the screen saying:

Thanks for signing up! We’re sending you an email with your activation code

Step 2: Check your email

You should receive an activation email within a few minutes with a link you’ll need to click in order to confirm your email address and activate your account. If you don’t appear to have received that email be sure to check your spam or junk mail folder.

Step 3: Activate your account and sign in

Click the link in the email or, if your email program does not support links in emails, copy it into your web browser and load the page.

This should take you to the Log In page with a message along the top saying:

Signup complete! Please sign in to continue

Enter the login and password details you created at Step 1 and click the “Log In” button.

You should now be signed in to your account where you’ll see a page like this  

Good work!
