Changing your account settings
Once you have registered with a Bloggyland-based site, you can change settings to control information about yourself and also your use and experience of a Bloggyland site. To see what tweaks you can make to your account, log in and then click on my account in the navigation block (that's the one titled with your user name). Click on the edit tab.
Account Settings. You may see a different collection of settings than is presented here, depending on what features have been enabled on your site.
- password
- Enter in a new password in both fields to set it. Bloggyland sends you a default password that is often hard to remember, so it is recommended that you change your password to something you can easily remember.
- block configuration
- The site administrator may make some blocks (chunks of content that are usually displayed in a left and/or right column) optional. You can enable and disable the display of these blocks by checking and unchecking the boxes next to them.
- signature
- If comments are enabled, you will be able to set a default signature. This will be copied into new comments for you automatically, but may still be edited.
- time zone
- Your site administrator may allow users to set their time zone. This will cause all dated content on the site to display in local time, according to the offset you enter here.
- theme
- A "theme" is the basic look and feel of a Bloggyland site. Sometimes a particular site will have more than one theme installed. If the site administrator has made more than one theme available, you will be able to select what you would like the default theme to be for your account.
As mentioned earlier, different site-settings will cause different fields to be displayed on your user account page. See the documentation for individual modules for instructions on how to use these additional options.
Additional Information. Aside from the account settings tab, you may also see additional tabs, titled according to the information they contain. Some examples might include "Personal Information", "Workplace", etc. These are controlled by the profile module, and allows you to enter more information about yourself. Please see the profile module for more information on this.
