Yes, there is a simple straightforward way to change your password by contacting the site administrator at administrator@oakmonths.org to get a temporary password. We will email you a temporary password which may be used until you physically change it.
After you receive your temporary password here is what you need to do:
Log on with your user name or your email address and your temporary password. After you are logged on do the following:
Go over to the right hand column of the page down to where it says ‘USER MENU’.
Click on the first link under that where it says ‘MY ACCOUNT’.
That will bring up a new screen with a menu. On the top line of that menu, three tabs from the left, there is a tab that says ‘Change Password’. Click on that.
That will bring up a ‘POP UP’ box that asks you to type in your current password. After you enter your current password go down to the next area that says 'New Password'.
Enter your ‘NEW PASSWORD’ in both boxes.
Go down to the bottom of the page and click on ‘Submit’.
After it completes that cycle log off the site and then log back on with the new password you just entered.
THIS IS IMPORTANT: YOU MUST LOG OFF OF THE SITE COMPLETELY; THEN LOG BACK ON USING YOUR NEW PASSWORD.

Depending on your level of experience you may use filtered html, full html, or plain text in the body of your blog. You may add an image to your blog if you wish. At this time we do not offer the option to target blogs to specific groups. That may change in the future.
We suggest you give it a try. We will take a look at your blog and make editorial suggestions if we think they will improve the quality of your blog. If you want us to edit your blog for you just ask. We will take no editorial action on your blog without first discussing it with you. it is your blog!
