#10 - Set up your MySpace page

Today is all about doing - you'll set up your own profile on MySpace.

So we'll get straight to it - today's Discovery Exercise.

1. Go to myspace.com (link will open in a separate window).
   
2. Click the "Sign Up" button.
   
   
3. Fill in the account information. Like with your Blogger account, you do not need to use your real name - feel free to use a pseudonym.
   
   
4. Verify your account - type in the numbers you see on the screen.
   
   
5. The 'upload a photo' page. We encourage you to skip this step by clicking on the 'skip for now' link at the bottom of the page.
   
   
6. The 'Invite friends' page. We encourage you to skip this step by clicking on the 'skip' link at the bottom of the page. We'll talk more about friends tomorrow.
   
   
7. Explore your page customization options - click on Edit Profile to begin. This is where you can add more information about yourself. Or not - you do not, remember, need to add a thing. This is also where you can experiment with the look of your page - have fun...
   
   
8. Write down your myspace address so that you can submit it to us via the Learning 2.0 progress log

That, everyone, is the full exercise for today. We'll ask you to log back in tomorrow to take care of one more thing.

But before you're done for the day, a word about MySpace ads. KCLS does not, in any way, endorse or have any control over the ads at the top of MySpace pages. We state this very clearly on the KCLS MySpace page.

And, last thing, what if you want to cancel your account when we've finished up the Learning 2.0 program? Here's what you'll do:

1. Log in to MySpace, click on 'edit profile' (it's just under your name)
2. Click on 'account settings' (its in the top right corner of the screen)
3. Click on 'cancel account' (its in red near the top of the page).
4. You'll get a cancellation confirmation email - click on the link included and you're done.

Next up: Friends...
