Logging-in to use Drupal

Before you can add content to the site or edit a page, you need to log-in. Some Drupal websites have an obvious log-in block...

others do not. If you cannot find the log-in, or if there is not one, follow these steps:

Click in the browser's address bar:

type in "user/login"

press your "Enter" or "Return" key

you'll go to a log-in page

Save yourself the need to actually type in your username and password by having your browser save these items. Firefox will ask if you want the info saved; click "Remember" to do so. Other browsers will make the request in different ways.

But remember, if you do save your log-in info, other people using that computer can log-in with your info by going to the log-in page.

Sometimes Drupal will remember you were logged-in previously and when you go to the log-in page, you'll find you are already logged-in. This can also happen if you go to other pages; if you find you are logged-in, don't worry. It's just that you never logged out.
