Getting Started With WakeUP's Website

Registration
Although anyone can view the site, you need to register to become an active user. Once you register, click on My Account to provide additional information and set your user preferences.

Anonymous registrations are not permitted. Too often it leads to spam and makes the job more difficult for our volunteer moderators.

Finding Information
The easiest way to find information is to use the Google Custom Search box located in the left sidebar. Just enter a keywords and click search. A list of matches will be displayed.

Under the title of each content item, clicking on the author's name or any keyword will limit content displayed to the author or keyword selected.

Under the search box in the left sidebar is a menu that enables you to "drill down" by program and content type. For example, if you click on "Schools," a new page appears listing titles of posts with the keyword "Schools." The menu in the left sidebar now contains a submenu under "Schools" for the types of content.  For example, if you click on "Press Releases," the list of posts will only include posts that contain the keyword "Press Releases."

In the right column you can use the Calendar or Upcoming Events List to find information about events.

Writing Content
WakeUP is identifying a team of authors to prepare most content. If you are knowleable about specific growth issues and would like to become an author, send us an e-mail.

Any registered user can can attach a comment to most original content published on this site. When you access a comment window, you will see toolbars similar to the toolbars found in a word processor.

We will moderate comments to avoid spam. We are also using a spam filter to avoid inappropriate content.
