14. What’s the hardest part? • About the hardest part is to realize how MySignUp is different from a paper signup • Often, on paper an entire line is used for one signup. • MySignUp is like a checkerboard. Where each square is a single signup. • This is possible because the signup is on the web not on paper • It allows you to “double up” on the information you need to ask.

15. So, How do I start? Think of your signup as a checker board Each checker square is one person’s agreement to do one thing. When they agree to that one thing, they will be able to give up to 6 pieces of information about themselves. CLICK HERE

16. 2 Dimensions • A common problem people have is not being able to realize the number of row and columns • Where there seems to be only one. • This might be a class signup, then the 2nd dimension is the # of people. • Solve this by numbering the columns 1 to total people • Where there seems to be more than 2. (3 or more) • This could be because there are 2 signups in one. For example. Two things happening at the same time. • Solve this by creating separate signups, either with different signups or just lower down on the same signup.

17. Notify your SignUp Users • You will be the one to let people know about your MySignUp. • People will not “surf the web” to your site. • You will pick both a “Title” and a “WebSite” name • The title will be seen at the top of the page. • Example.
