  [Tutorial] How to best use your Member Home Page

  Your Member Home page serves as your portal to Tech's Realm activity.  In the middle of the home page is your activity feed/Buzzfeed, to the left and the right of your activity feed are specific boxes (modules) that reflect different activity areas, as well as some of your personal settings to be able to quickly access.

  Let's start with the activity feed; The Buzz feed.  Your activity feed will look a bit different from another member's activity feed depending on what activity you want to see and how you set that up.  Tech's Realm activity feed is structured like most activity feeds you see on other large platforms.  Some people consider the activity feed endless, and useless.  My advice is to look at the activity feed as anything most recent, and do not waste your time scrolling to infinity, because you don't have too, to see the most recent activity.  The modules on each side of the activity/buzzfeed reflect all of the most recent activity to view from each section:  Blogs, Groups, Forums.  Additionally, you can view newest members, techs online, access your profile page, access settings, access quick links (to post something quick) and of course the full suite of features found in your navigational bar/main menu and your mini menu on the right.

  To look at your home page and view this tutorial, you may want to open Tech's Realm in another tab so you can review this tutorial easily and with another tab open you can follow along with the instructions easier too.

  To view your member's home page you must be logged in.  If you haven't logged in yet, please log in. Now that you are logged in please view the left side of your member's home page first.  On the left column you will see the following:
