After you have signed up for your Club Teams Website,
you automatically get a 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 activate
your account and choose to upgrade to premium
membership to have your website be ads-free. Premium
membership comes with one FREE month membership.
Choose the yearly billing cycle package to get
the lowest rate of $31/month PLUS a FREE domain
name for your teams website, so that it can be
accessible via www.your_domain.com.

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 or media posted to Gym Chat, 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.
To add
photos/videos/audios to your club teams website
Multimedia page, upload to the appropriate Gym
Chat application using your Player
account - videos/audios are under the TV
section, photos are under the Media
section - just click on the Upload link and fill
out the form. Then tag the items on their respective
page under the TV/Media sections by clicking the
yellow Tag button under their display. You may
tag items uploaded by your friends or by you.
Members of your club can also tag to the club.
You can tag items to yourself and friends, as
well as networks,groups, and clubs you belong
to.
