How to use this SITE

If you are new to the website please read this entire page as it will answer all of your questions on how to get a password, make a profile and how to use the website.

This website is maintained and hosted by a fellow classmate (WM) and is completely free to all alumni.  You do not have to pay to make a profile or to be able to access other alumni profiles.

You will need to fill something into your individual profile in order to access the password protected pages on this site.  To register and make your own page that you can personalize with information such as what you have been up to since we left St Joseph's Academy, school memories, and photos, first select the Classmate Profiles page.     Find your name and then click on it.  Follow the prompts to create your profile.  You can leave as much or as little information as you wish.  The password that you enter during this process will be used as your login password.  There are several pages.  Please look at all of them and make sure you have examined the boxes at the bottom of the final page. 

 

You can protect your personal profile, which blocks the general public and search engines from accessing your profile details.  To do that make certain that the box "Profile Visibility" has been checked.  This is located at the very end of the profile pages.  This should be checked by everyone joining the site. I will try to watch and make sure it is checked for everyone, so if you have a reason to make your personal data open to the web let me know.

All contact information that you enter into this website will be kept confidential.  It will not be shared or distributed.  Your information is private; your address and phone number can’t be seen by other classmates unless you grant permission on your profile.  (This is the second box at the bottom of the profile page.) If you do not check this box only your name will be accessible to other classmates.
When someone clicks on your name, all they will see of your contact information is your city and state and whatever personal information you choose to put into your profile.  If you send a message to someone by choosing their name in the Classmate Profiles tab they will of course see your email address so that they can respond.  Otherwise classmate email addresses are not shown to others.

Please add my email address to your address book and adjust your spam settings so that you can receive emails that will keep you up to date with the website and upcoming reunion.   You can contact me via the "contact us" tab at the top.
Can I post my own photos or videos on the website?
  • Yes! You can upload a current photo of yourself, your family, pets, vacations, old photos from days gone by, past reunions, etc. -- anything you want to share -- by clicking on "Edit/Upload Photos" under the Member Functions menu on the left.
  • There is no limit on the number of digital photos that you can store on your "Classmate Profile" page.
  • Each photo is automatically resized to fit on your Profile page.
  • You can also upload your own videos that you've posted to YouTube.com by clicking on the "Classmate Profiles" link, then following the instructions.
  • And yes, you can add, delete, or replace your own photos or videos at any time.

Classmates - would you like to put your video, or your favorite You Tube video on your Profile page? Here's how:

On You Tube, make sure your video is showing in the play box. Example: you want to put the Muppets Mahna Mahna video on your site (if you want to follow along, the web address is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTXyXuqfBLA&feature=related).

To the right of the video you'll see a gray box, and near the bottom of this box is the grayed word "Embed." And just below that a long horizontal white box that contains the code for the video. When this code is placed in the Video box on your Edit Profile page, the video player with your video will appear and classmates can view it from your page. Here are the steps to get the code on your page:

  1. With your mouse, left click once on the white window that contains the code. It should turn blue. (Alternatively, you can move your mouse across the box until all the code turns blue.)
  2. On your keyboard hold down the Control key (Ctrl) and click the letter C key. This copies the code.
  3. On your Edit Profile page, locate the box "Videos."
  4. Place your cursor inside the box and left click with your mouse.
  5. Now press the Control key and the letter V key on your keyboard. The Embed code will now appear in your box. The code should look like this:

    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/QTXyXuqfBLA&hl=en&fs=1&color 1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00"></param><param name= "allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/QTXyXuqfBLA&hl=en&fs=1& color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x- shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height= "344"></embed></object>
  6. In your Video Description box just below, enter a name for your video or something about your video, like: "What's a Mahna Mahna? Who cares?" This will appear just below your video.
  7. Now click the Save button and go view your page.
