# Getting Started on BMB

## <mark style="color:red;">How to Start Your Journey Around BMB</mark>

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:
