Procedure for Registration in
The Bixography Forum

In order to register for the Bixography forum it is necessary to have a Network54 account. So, we have a two-step procedure.

A. First step. You create a network54 account [free of charge]. The following is the procedure to create the account.

1. Go to http://www.network54.com/

2. Click on "login"

3. You have three choices. "login" "lost password" "register" Click on register and fill out the information in the page that opens. You must choose a login name (no spaces) and a password, and you must provide a valid email address.

4. Once you complete the page and click "create account" a new page will open. At this point, there will be a message in the mailbox for the email address you provided. The message comes form “Network 54 Support” and the subject is “Network Account Verification.” Open the message and click on the link provided. A new page will open. Click on “done.“ Now in the page that opened when you clicked “Create Account” fill in your login name and your password. A new page will open “signup for your account.” Ignore.

First step completed. At this point you have created a network54 account (no charge) and you are logged in.

B. Second step. You register for the Bixography Forum.

1. Click on (or copy and paste in a new page; more convenient) http://www.network54.com/Group/163564 A page will open with the link “Apply to this group.”

2. Click on the link “Apply to this group.” A page opens titled “Registered Users, Group application. Make sure the email address is the one you used to login to netwok54. Fill in briefly the box “Information about yourself” and click on “Apply to group.”

3. A new page will open titled “Application sent.”

4. Now check your mail. You will find a message from “N54 Group Membership Application Verification” subject “Network54 Group Validation Key.” Open the message and click on the link provided. A new page will open that reads “Your email address has been validated. You will be added to the Group once the Group Owner has reviewed and accepted your membership request. Thank you.”

You are done. I will receive a notification that you have applied to be added to the group of registered users and I’ll take it from here.

When approved, you will be able to post in the Bixography Forum without prior approval of your posting. Remember to login in network54 before opening the Bixography forum page.

This sounds more complicated than it really is. As you go through the steps, things move pretty rapidly. The procedure is used to ensure that invalid email addresses are not used.

If this is too much of a burden for you, just post as you have in the past. There may be a delay as I have to approve the message before it is uploaded..

 Alternatively, I can register you. Here is the procedure.

Again a two-step process.

1. Send an email to ahaim@bixography.com with the following. Copy and paste the text between the ******************

2. Check your mail (the one you specified above). When you get a message from “Network 54 Support” with subject “Network Account Verification,” open the message and click on the link provided. A new page will open. Click "done"
3. You are done. I will take it from here.
4. Check your mail. You will find a message from “N54 Group Membership Application Verification” subject “Network54 Group Validation Key.” Open the message and click on the link provided. A new page will open that reads “Your email address has been validated. You will be added to the Group once the Group Owner has reviewed and accepted your membership request. Thank you.” 

I will notify you when your registration is complete.

Thank you.
