Player Website Tutorial

Step-by-Step Tutorial:
How to make your own sport player website online on Gym Chat!

1) First step is to sign up! And if you're under 13 years old, get your parents permission.

On the sign up form, fill in the fields (state and city are optional fields so you don't have to fill those in if you don't want to). **MAKE SURE ON THE WEBPAGES USERNAME FIELD YOU ONLY INPUT IN YOUR USERNAME, NOT THE WHOLE WEB ADDRESS WITH THE HTTP://GYMCHAT.COM PART!!** Don't worry, if you would like to change your username later, you can do so from your Account Control Panel. Click on the SIGN UP! button at the bottom of the form when you are done. If they are any problems with your sign up registration form, either a pop-up alert box will let you know or a notice on top of the form and tell you how to fix it. When your registration is complete, the page will go to the confirmation page, telling you that we have sent you the automatic email confirmation of your new player web!

2) Go to your email (the email you put it your sign up form) to get your Player Website activation link! The subject line of the email is "Your gymchat.com player webpages registration", and the From line is admin@gymchat.com. If you don't find it in your email, check that it hasn't gone in your Junk/Spam box, and add "admin@gymchat.com to your 'Allowed' list. Open the email, you will have a link there you need to click to activate your player web account yourself so that you can start using it (if the link in your email is not clickable for you, you can copy/paste the link into your web browser as the email says). If you are under 13 years old, your player web username you have chosen is reserved for you and the link in the email is to the Gym Chat Player Website Parental Consent Form: http://www.gymchat.com/playerwebs/parentalconsent.php . Ask your parent/guardian to read and sign it for you and either scan/email or fax it back to Gym Chat and we will then manually activate your account for you. We check emails and faxes throughout the day.

3) How do you know if your account is activated and ready to use?
If you are 13 years old or over, when you click the link you get in your Gym Chat player website activation email, that will activate it for you and you will get a confirmation webpage telling you that your Gym Chat player web account is now activated and ready to use. If you are under 13 years old, then we will send you a confirmation email when we have activated your web account for you. If you have any questions on your account and whether it is activated or not, just contact us!

4) Ok, so your account is activated, now what?
Now you can log on and start designing your player web! You can login from any Gym Chat page by inputing in your username and password in the login boxes at the top left, make sure the "Individual" radio button is selected, and click the Login button. If you have forgotten your username/password, you can check your registration confirmation email, or you can also just click the "Forgot Login" link at the top of any Gym Chat page, and follow the instructions there for your username/password to be emailed to you again.

5) After Logging in...!
After you have logged in, you can easily go to your player website homepage by clicking on your username tab displayed on the top left of all the Gym Chat pages - mouseover it for options to go to your various player account sections.

When you are logged in, you get access to your own admin control panels. The 3 admin buttons are there for you under your profile photo on your player website (left side column) - they are: "Edit Style", "Edit Content", and "Edit Account"

As you have guessed, the Edit Style button goes to the admin page so that you can customize and create the design you want for your player web, the Edit Content button goes to the admin page for editing and uploading the content to your player web (like info, schedules, etc.), and the Edit Account button goes to the admin page for making changes to your account (such as username changes, webpages setting, post settings, etc.) The admin pages are just forms you fill in, and then click the button at the end of the form to have your changes made to your player website. You can post to your blog by clicking on the "Post to your blog" button on the left side column under your profile photo/admin icons. You can post quick hits directly from your player homepage by typing in your quick hit in the box provided there when you are logged in, and then just click the "Post" button under it to get it posted.

Follow the instructions on the admin pages, and you will have your very own customized player web! If you have any questions, just ask! You can post a message on the Gym Chat message boards under the Player Webpages forum, or contact us directly.
