DCOMDO.COM So easy a med student can use it

Why more slides?! I realize you're all tired of flipping through lecture slides but I was informed that a lot of people still have no idea what DCOMDO.COM is or how to use it. So here is everything you need to know to get started using it today.

First, a little background... DCOMDO.COM was designed to serve as an announcement board for the SGA, act as an information database for DCOM students, and take some of the pressure off of Blackboard and email. We would love to see everyone use it as their launch point on the Internet and take advantage of the quick links, classifieds, and class and subject sections for posting and downloading material.

Breaking it down The site is built on Wordpress and is in blog format. But unlike other blogs, this one can be authored by any student. This means that anyone can register and post directly to the site without the need to go through a middle man. Among other things, students can post announcements, ask questions, upload study guides, and organize material into their specific class year and subject categories for easy access.

Let's get started Step 1: REGISTER If you haven't already, go to www.dcomdo.com and click the "register" button under the logo. Follow the instructions and wait for your password to be sent.

Let's get started Step 2: LOG IN Go back to the home page and log in with your username and password.

Posting content When you want to make a post, whether it's to ask a question, post a study guide, or make an announcement, simply click the link to add a new post.

Posting content Enter your text in the text box and choose the category you'd like it to show up in. To post a PowerPoint, picture, etc. click one of the buttons above the text box.

NOTE: Try to keep things in their appropriate categories as much as possible. The "frontpage" category is RESERVED for SGA and class officers as well as club announcements. If something is posted here that doesn't belong, it will simply be deleted.

Bookmarks The bookmarks bar contains links to several sites frequently visited by students. If you set DCOMDO.COM as you homepage then all of these sites are just a click away when you open your browser.

Classifieds The "Classifieds" tab at the top of the homepage will allow you to view ads placed by others and place your own ads for free.

Calendar The "Calendar" link takes you to a calendar that is designed to list all activities at DCOM including club and student government meetings, community service projects, fundraisers, etc. Please keep in mind that some events may not show up on this calendar.

So... That's just a little bit of what you can do on DCOMDO.COM. It's a great resource for students and organizations. If you'd like to know how to do something not covered here, just let me know.
