- In the next window, enter your name in the space provide followed by SOI (e.g., John Smith SOI).
- On the next page (blank template), click <Edit Contents> on the top of menu bar (please DO NOT click <Edit>), then answer each of the questions in the blank column to the far right.
- The text fields to the right will auto-expand and auto-wrap as you type into them.
- Note that some fields contain menu selections (see arrow to the right) which will pop-up once you click anywhere in the field.
- You won't be able to add an image during this first step; however, you may return subsequently and follow the instructions at the bottom of this page to upload and display a picture of yourself (optional).
- IMPORTANT! Remember to <Save> the page. If you see your page name listed under the New SOIs folder hierarchy, you have successfully completed the procedure!

- Click on the <Tools> top menu and select <Restrictions>
- Click the radio button next to <Restrict editing of this page> and click on <Me>. (Note: this will enable ONLY you to make subsequent changes to this SOI).

How to Upload a Picture and Attach to an SOI (moderate to advanced users):
- First, you will be uploading an image file (e.g., *.jpg, *.png) to your SOI Page.
- On the top menu bar, click Tools, then Attachments.
- In the next window, click <Choose File> to locate an appropriate image file from your local computer.
- Click <Attach> which will upload the image file to your page.
- IMPORTANT: Please write down or memorize the exact name of the file. You will need it in the next step.
- Return to your SOI Page which should be listed above.
- Now click <Edit> on the top menu bar which is OK for this one step.
In the second block (#2), replace the contents between the two "!" with your file name, but do not remove the "|thumbnail" parameter. Example:
Highlight color red !my-name.jpg|thumbnail! - Click <Preview> at the top of the page to see if the image appears correct. If you are satisfied, click <Save>. (Note: If this process is not working properly or you are having difficulties, please contact your At-Large Staff for help.)
