NMMW.NET is the Web Site and Blog of New Mexico Men’s Wellness.  The vision of this site is to enhance the ability of the community of Men in (and near to) New Mexico to communicate their ideas, goals and vision of the community.  Here you will find:

• Announcements of upcoming NMMW Events: Conferences, Retreats, and Gatherings (along with registration materials)
• Contributed announcements of events of interest to the men of NMMW
• Writings contributed by Men to be shared with others — stories, essays, poems, memoirs, or anything the you think would be of value to other men in their journey through life
• Comments and feedback that can be contributed about most items posted on the site
• ???? – anything else creative you can think of to share!!

The webmaster for NMMW.NET is Jim Connolly.  I can be reached via Email at webmaster@nmmw.net.  Don’t hesitate to ask if you have questions.  I will usually respond within a day or two (unless I happen to be somewhere without Email contact).

In order to be active on the site (and do more than just read what you find here), you must Register.  To do that:

• Click on the Register link (this one or at the bottom of the page)
• Choose a Username (we ask that it bear some resemblence to your real name or a nickname) and enter your Email address
• The system will send you an Email with an assigned password within a minute or two.
• Check your email for your password, then login at www.nmmw.net.   The “Log In” link is at the bottom of the page.  Enter your Username and password and you are signed on as a “Subscriber”
• Edit your Information by clicking on the “Profile” link on the left side of the page and enter your real first and last name then scroll down and change your password to something that you will remember.  Everything else on this page is optional.  Click on the “Update Profile” button at the bottom and you’re done.

The requirement to enter your real name in your registration information is necessitated by the proliferation of spammers on blogging sites.  This small bit of personal information will not be seen by anyone but the website administrator.  Registrations without a real name entry will eventually be removed from the list of users.

Once registered, you may enter comments on any current posts for which comments are open (that’s about 95+% of them).  Scroll down to the bottom of the post and if you are logged in there will be a comment box available; if you are not logged in there will be a notice that “You must be logged in to leave a comment” and a link to the login page.  After you enter your comment, your first one must be approved by the webmaster.  This will usually take less than 24 hours.  Subsequent comments will not require approval.  After comments have appeared on the website, each person has the ability to edit their own comments; as with comments in general you must be logged in to do this.   Note: If for some reason you don’t see the comment box or the login notice at the bottom of a page you want to comment on, click on the title of the post (at the top of the post) and it should reload with the comment box at the bottom.

No personal information (not even your real name nor your Email address) is used at any time on the site unless you choose to use it.  Only your Username is included on comments and posts.  If you want someone to be able to contact you from your post, it is advisable to include a name and an Email address in your comment or post.  New users are listed as “Subscribers”, a usage level that only allows comments on existing posts.  There are other user levels available (Contributor, Author) for those who want to contribute their own stories, essays, poems or other creative works.

If you have any questions about the site, are interested writing something to put be put up here, or have suggestions about what you’d like to see, please send me an Email about it and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Downloadable Tutorial Materials: There is now a 6-page Adobe Acrobat PDF available to assist interested persons in registering for access to the site, including sections on how to register, how to post comments, how WordPress uses “roles” to control access, and what we can do with the site.  Click on nmmw-instructions to download this (hopefully) useful document.  Please direct any feedback or suggestions you may have about the instructional document or the website in general to Jim Connolly at webmaster@nmmw.net.

We have some great stuff going on in New Mexico Men’s Wellness.  Let’s use this Website and Blog to spread it around!
