how to use the check-in board
Here's how we organize the check-ins in this forum.
- Every day someone (whoever gets to the forum first) starts a thread for the day. The first message is just a general welcome for everybody - not a personal check-in. Lots of times people like to use graphics to make the opening message welcoming. If you look to the left, you'll see a link for "Graphics for Forum Posts". If you don't want to do that, that's fine. I'll add a pretty graphic when I log in.
- Make the subject of the thread starter the full date - day of week, month, day, and year.
- After the day thread is started, all check-ins are added as comments to the day thread. You should put your username and the check-in time somewhere in the subject so people (you and others) can see what what's what when scanning the "Recent Comments" list.
Thanks for helping to keep things organized here.

check in
Hi everyone, I am not very computer savey and want to make the most of this program. Not sure about the whole check-in thing. My goal from now to Mon is to check-in daily with PA program and incorporate one strategy into my daily life. Hopefully I will see progress if I can stick to this.
Please let me know how to navigate this check-in and if I have any of this right to this point.
Thanks, kipgrifg
hi kipgrifg !
you've come to the right place. we have a lot of new people who are right now making positive changes. i've been here for 1.5 years.
best thing to do for your daily post is on the right side, you'll see today's date. click on that, then click "add new comment" under the first post at the top of the page.
put your name in the subject, and if you have any questions i'll try to answer them, as god gives me the strength and time to do so.

Clement,
Thanks for the help with check-in. I really like the format here, it is very positive. I have made some good changes the last couple days. PA has helped me realize small steps are so positive. Accomplish or move towards my goal/task daily even if it is a small step I am getting closer to finishing. I never thought about getting things done that way before. I was always in a hurry and it was all or nothing with me. It feels good to see the light and I am actually finding myself with more time to do things.
Thanks Laura

using images in posts
I expanded the explanation at the top of the Graphics page of how to put images in posts. People who weren't able to follow the instructions before should be able to figure it out now. It's not hard.
---------------
Edit: The instructions on the graphics page assume you have the TinyMCE rich-text editor turned OFF. If you have it turned on, it's much easier. You just get the path to the image as described on the graphics page, and then enter it into the image dialog in the rich-text box. The evoke the dialog, click on the tree icon. Here's an example:
