\textbf{My Personal Information Page} adds your personal information page to the content. You only have one such page, no matter how many courses you instruct. This
is a place to provide a general introduction of yourself to your
students. This page can be accessed by selecting the \textbf{Information} item in the dropdown 
list displayed when you hover over your own name at the top left of the inline menu.
It can also be accessed fro the \textbf(Main Menu) as
discussed in the section \ref{Prefs_About_Me}, or when adding it to a course.
This section provides instructions when adding the information page to a course.

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

\begin{enumerate}

\item Select \textbf{Course Editor} on the Inline Menu or 
\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{docs}
\textbf{Edit course contents}
within Main Menu. 
\item At the \textbf{Content Editor} screen, click the \fbox{My
Personal Info} button listed in the \textbf{Other} column.
\item Click the \textbf{re-initializing course} button to make changes active for the current session. 
\end{enumerate}
NOTE: The file appears in the Main Content Editor 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 \textbf{Edit} link listed in the Main Content column.
\item At the \textbf{Personal Information} screen, fill out the various information.
The \textbf{My Personal Information page} 
allows you to upload a photo.
Click the
\fbox{Browse...} button to select the file to upload, and then click the
\fbox{Upload} button. 
\item Clicking ANY of the \fbox{Save All} buttons will save the entire page.
\item Click Exit Editing to return to regular display mode.

\end{enumerate}

NOTE: The \textbf{My Personal Information Page} is a special page; it
belongs to you, not the course. Contents of that page remain the same no matter how many times it appears. All changes made to one propogate to all others. Bear
in mind, as populating your \textbf{My Personal Information Page} for multiple courses, you 
may not wish to add course-specific information.
