  Résumés... or... give a little... get a lot back!  
 

How to set up that vital bit of info... the résumé! It's easy to do... and it's a way of letting people know who you are - not just in the way that you write your messages or in which emoticon you decided to use today! It doesn't have to be a lot of writing... try putting in a piccie... be honest... be funny... but GET IT COMPLETED!! THIS IS IMPORTANT!! :o) Your piccie won't even be that distorted in later versions of FC!


 
  Step 1

Open up the FirstClass client... go online

 
  Never posted anything before?  
  Step 2 Click on "File" in the menu bar  
Top Step 3 Select "Open"  
  Step 4 From the menu that appears, select "Résumé"  
  Posted messages before?  
  Step 2 Find a message you've sent  
  Step 3 Open it  
  Step 4 Double click on your name in the "From" box  
  Both cases... a small form opens...  
  Step 5 Type your name into the small white box at the top  
  Step 6 In the main part of the form type stuff about yourself!!  
  Step 7 When you're happy you've dished enough dirt about yourself... just close the form down!

EASY PEASY!!
 
  Add a piccie to the top left hand box... and become horribly distorted... FOREVER...  
  Step 1 Open up a piccie of yourself - you might already have one scanned in, or one from a digital camera, maybe you're artistic and have "created" one in a graphics package... whatever!  
  Step 2 Select the area of the piccie you want to use  
  Step 3 Click on copy  
  Step 4 Open up the FirstClass client... and go online  
  Step 5 Open up your résumé (as you did when creating it originally)  
  Step 6 In the small box, top left hand corner, right click  
  Step 7 In the menu that appears, select paste  
  Step 8 Gasp in horror at your horribly distorted picture!!  
 

Step 9

Close down your résumé... wait for others to laugh!

ALMOST TOOOOOOOO EASY!
 
 
Bear in mind that FirstClass only has a palette of 45 colours available for you... so unless you're an absolute whizz with graphics - you will look like a blotchy freak!!
 
  Another way of getting a piccie on your résumé... if you've got FC 5.6 or above!  
  Step 1 Open up your résumé  
  Step 2 Right click in the main white area and select "Insert File..."  
  Step 3 Browse until you find your piccie - make sure it's in an acceptable format (gif, jpeg or bmp) and not too big - something around 60KB-ish!  
Top Step 4 Click on the piccie, and press "OK". Bingo! One okayish looking picture inserted! :o)

There could well be an easier way that I don't know about... well I should know! Give me a yell!
