confirmation email (sent to the email address you provided). Click on the link
in that email, or copy/paste the link into your web browser if it's not clickable
(link may not be clickable for AOL users). This will take you to the registration
page where you can set up your subscription via secure PayPal - just click on
the "Get Club Membership" button there and then follow the PayPal instructions.

That's right, no web design or programming experience required, even to make your
own custom style for your webpages or update your content! To make changes and
update your Club Teams Website, go to your Styles, Content, and Account Control
Panels. You can access these pages from these respective Edit Styles, Edit Content,
and Edit Account icons located right below your links menu on your webpages. You
must first be logged on to have admin access to your pages; if you are logged
on but are on someone else's Player Webpages or Club Teams Web, click the "My
Account" link at the top-right of the page. On these control panel pages,
you just fill out the forms and click the update buttons and all the coding is
done for you! You can manage the content of your Calendar, Multimedia, and Message
Board pages directly from those pages...."X" icons are for deleting
the content, pencil icons are for editing the content.

Yes. There is one admin logon (called the superadmin) for the whole Club Team
Website, that has all access and all admin authority. You can assign users and
admins for your Club Calendar and admins may remove individual messages from the
Message Board using your set Message Board password.

Your club players can connect their Player Webpages to the Club Teams Web by inputting
the set Club Connect Code (which you tell them) into their Account Control Panel.
Their profile picture gets displayed onto the Club "Player Pages" page
and they may choose to activate their club link on their own Player Webpages using
the "Activate Club Link" option on their Account Control Panel. You
set the Club Connect Code on the initial Club Sign Up Form and may change it on
your Club Account Control Panel. Player Webpages already connected to the Club
Teams Web will be automatically updated with the new Club Connect Code if you
choose to change the Code, so no current Player Webpages connections are broken.
You may sort the order and choose to remove any of the player profiles on your
"Player Pages" page directly.

header links of the tables -- a double click on the links reverses the order.
These sortings/orderings don't affect the default settings you set for the display

You can include images and gif animations/videos throughout your teams web pages,
like on your teams web homepage by creating a 'hyperlink' to it in any of your
text boxes in your controlpanel. Here's how:
In
your control panel for the page you want to add your media to, go to the text
box section and click the button on the text box editor which is circled in the
picture below:
This
will pop-up a window where you can insert the url of the media you would like
to add.
The
media should appear in this window as you finish typing the url to it (like above
example); if not, try clicking anywhere in the window once and make
sure you haven't filled in a http' in the field because that would be an extra
one - if still no image appears, this means either your url is incorrect
or the server your media is on does not allow hyperlinking. Once the media appears,
just click on it and then this pop-up will close and the media will be added to
the text box you are on, where you can edit the size and placement of it!
Most
club members use media urls off of their main club website, by right-clicking
on the media, then clicking "Properties" on the pop-up menu, and then
they copy the "Addres (URL)" property and paste it in this text box
pop-up window. You can also upload media to your club teams web's Multimedia page
- use the "Upload Media" button on your Multimedia page while logged
on and fill in the pop-up form, then after your media has been uploaded to the
page, double click on it to pop-up the actual size of the media, right click on
this media to get the url as described and use it for inserting the media on your
other club teams web pages! Any questions, please just ask!
Besides
'hyperlinking' to the media, you can directly upload your media onto your multimedia
page and top header as well!
