The front page of ADU has lists of the most recently submitted or changed records. The entries are not in alphabetical order...but chronological. The one at the top is the most recently submitted or modified record ... this allows records to remain in immediate view until subsequent submissions eventually push them off the page.
"Visitors Book" has only five slots for this purpose on the Home page, but a user can click on the "Visitors Book" link on any page to go to a larger list of recent entries. Once "in" the Visitors Book pages you can search deeper by selecting "have a look through the book". Some contributors have suggested that the title of this "book" should be altered to "Visitors and Traveler's Book"...


GO:

......to start ANY KIND of SUBMISSION to ADU, click on the "Submit ADU" link on any page. In this "Visitors Book" tutorial, we've done so on the front or 'Home page' of the site. This takes you to........

• ....the "Submission Selection page". Here you select the KIND of submission that you want to make.
  Now click on "SUBMIT TO THE VISITORS BOOK" link. This takes you to.....
  
  
  
  
• Note: the ADU Visitors Book is for the shorter comment or QUICK message to anyone you know might be watching the site, or to everyone.
  
  
• Note: the most recently submitted or modified of all these records appear on the front page of ADU.
  
  
• Note: you CANNOT EDIT A SUBMISSION to "Visitors Book" once you have clicked the "Thank You" button. So type in your message carefully and check it..."proof read" it before clicking the final button.

• ....the "Submit to Visitors Book" page, where you submit your news and contact...sharings, advice, travel hints (read "About ADU" for an introduction). Read the simple message already in the text box, then select the box and CLEAR it by hitting the Delete key...
  
  
• Note: although you can copy and paste from your own management folder as is suggested for all the other submission types within ADU, the "Visitors book" is suited to unencumbered direct typing of small commentaries of single paragraph limit. Aim just to fill the text field provided...discipline your style...you're paying for this time AND the coffee...so budget.
  
  
• Hint: try memorising ADU's URL (or the "Visitors Book" URL to go straight to the submission page)...it's logical...
  
  These are the URLs:
  
  *Visitors Book
  http://www.artsdownunder.com/aduhtml/visitorsbk.htm
  
  * The Arts Downunder: (the easiest to remember, and it works with or without .au at the end)...
  http://www.artsdownunder.com
  
  
• Hint: when you're sitting in an Internet Café in some distant place, open your Web Browser and type the appropriate URL into the Browser Address Bar from memory...click enter...ADU appears...click "Visitors Book" and take it from there.
  

• ...now the text box is empty and selected, ready for you to type in your contact. When finished TAB to the next two text boxes...
  
  
  
• Note: if at any time an "ERROR" page appears, hit Your Browser's "Back" button and check your entry...if the error still persists, hit the Browser "Refresh" button or forget the submission and start from scratch.
  
  
• Hint: in order to be available to "searchers and browsers", contributors to "MUCH ADU" and "Visitors Book" must think in terms of how easy it should be for contributions to be found. You must think the same way as you do when searching ADU for Arts Individuals, Arts Businesses, and Arts Events...the "narrowing search" method, but in reverse. Give your work a specific title...a subject. You may like to select a set of related words to act in the same way as the Main and Sub-category lists for submissions. Work such words into a title. Think logically.

• ...and add your name and location (not essential but helpful)...the book automatically adds the date...
  
• check what you've written, because there is no chance to make a change after you've clicked the "thank you" button.
  
  
  
  
• Hint: go through the other tutorials devoted to the submission of information...you will find some extra details.

• Now you can return to the ADU "Home" page by clicking "The Arts Downunder" image at the bottom of the page.

• ...the "Home" page appears. Scroll down the page to the list heading "Visitors Book: the most recent contributions" Here you find your submission's first line. It is at the top of the list and it is underlined...it is a link to the Visitors Book pages. Click on it and...

• ...the "Visitors Book" page appears. This has your submission prominently displayed...ready to read...
