Using the PCC WebBoard

1. Once in the WebBoard, you will see 2 panes (1 on the left, 1 on the
   right). The left pane is for Conferences (or topics) with messages under
   each. The right pane displays the messages in a conference, when you
   click on the desired conference. Once you have arrived here for the first time,
   bookmark the site as you will be visiting often!
   
2. From here you can post messages to a conference, sub-topic within a
   conference or even post another message by using the link-style
   "buttons." Do your best to post your replies and comments under the
   topic to which they pertain.
   
3. Try looking around, from here use of the WebBoard is straightforward.
   Click on a conference or topic or the + sign to the left of the
   conference--if others have already posted you will be able to see their
   posts, if no one has posted to that topic you will be prompted to make a
   first post.
