Getting Started on BMB

How to Start Your Journey Around BMB

We have three ways to learn about BMB and to help you navigate around the BMB website:

1. Interactive Tour

2. Website Introduction Video

3. Written guide to the menu bar and content

Interactive Tour

When you first login and arrive on your BMB ‘My Homepage’, there is an Interactive Tour (press the yellow 'Start Tour' button if this does not play automatically).

Website Introduction Video

We have also created a Website Introduction Video. This is especially helpful if you find the Interactive Tour difficult to follow.

Written Guide to the Menu Bar and Content

Below is a written guide to the menu bar (the menu bar is found at the top of the BMB website). This written guide follows the menu bar from left to right, guiding you through the content you will find under each heading.

The headings are as follows:

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

My Homepage

'My Homepage' gives you a summary of your account and all your activity.

• Under the box saying ‘Welcome to your Homepage’, there is a ‘Quick Access’ box.

• Click 'Bridge Content' (in the 'Quick Access' box).

• Or scroll down the page and you will see the ‘Bridge Content - New & Archive' box.

Bridge Content

‘Bridge Content’ brings up a menu page with red buttons for quick links to all the new and archive bridge content as well as quick links to access other areas on the site:
