2.   After logging in you should see a link in the upper right hand corner that says “My Profile”.
3.  Click on it. 
4.  This should take you directly into your account. 
5.  On the right hand side you should see Contact Info. 
6.  Right underneath contact info you should see a place for an email address.  Check to see if there is an email adress there and that it is correct.  If there isn’t one put one in, if it’s incorrect correct it. 
7.  Verify that all of the other information is correct and hit the Submit button if you made any changes. 

If you have lost your password, need to reset it, etc look at this post on how to reset your password.

1. Go to your KLOW’s admin page. For example our practice page’s address is: http://swkls.mykansaslibrary.org/wp-admin
2. Click on Lost your Password?
3. You will then be taken to another page where it will ask you for your username and email address. Most of you used the username of librarian.
4. After entering your username and password click on Get New Password.
5. You will then receive an email with instructions for resetting your password.

If you have any problems with this, need help, or have any questions please let call or email us.

I just installed a nice little tool on this site called Snap Shots that enhances links with visual previews of the destination site, interactive excerpts of Wikipedia articles,  IMDb profiles and Amazon products, display inline videos, RSS, MP3s, photos, stock charts and more.

Sometimes Snap Shots bring you the information you need, without your having to leave the site, while other times it lets you “look ahead,” before deciding if you want to follow a link or not.

Should you decide this is not for you, just click the Options icon in the upper right corner of the Snap Shot and opt-out.
