\label{Docs_About_My_Personal_Info}

\textbf{My Personal Info} will add your personal information page, which
is the same across all LON-CAPA courses you may be an instructor for. This
is a place to provide a general introduction of yourself to your
students. \textbf{My Personal Info} will allow you to upload a photo into it.
On the editing screen, either type the path to the photo, or click the
\fbox{Browse...} button to select the file to upload, and then click the
\fbox{Upload} button. 

To create a\textbf{My Personal Info} using the template, do the following:

\begin{enumerate}

\item Select \textbf{DOCS} on the Remote Control or Main Menu.
\item At the \textbf{Course Documents} screen, click the \fbox{My
Personal Info} button listed in the \textbf{Special documents} column.
\item Click the \textbf{re-initializing course} button to make changes active for the current session. 
\end{enumerate}
NOTE: The file will appear in the Main Course Document column, where the user
can move, rename, or remove it. If the user does not click the \fbox{re-initializing
course} button, the changes will become active the next time the user logs in.

\begin{enumerate}
\item Click the link listed in the Main Course Documents column.
\item At the \textbf{Personal Information} screen, fill out the various information.
\item Click the \fbox{Store} button to save your changes.

\end{enumerate}

NOTE: The \textbf{My Personal Info} page is a special page in that it
belongs to you, not the course. Everywhere you insert that page will have the same
contents, and all changes made to one will propogate to all others. Bear
that in mind as you fill it in; since it may appear for multiple courses, you 
may not wish to add course-specific information.
