Collage Login Tutorial

Before you start

Before starting collage and entering news stories into the site, you need to make sure you

have two important applications on your computer system.

1.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher

If you do not have IE 6.0 or higher installed on your computer (you can check

your version by going to

Help > About Internet Explorer

in the program window)

you can download the latest IE version from Microsoft’s website:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/critical/ie6sp1/default.mspx

2.

Java

Along with IE, you need to have the latest Java version installed on your

computer as well.

Go to

http://www.java.com

and in the middle of the

screen, you should see an orange icon saying

Download

Now

. Click the icon and you’ll be directed to another

website where you can download and/or install the Java

client on your computer.

After you have both IE and Java upgraded to their latest version, you’re ready to start

working with collage.
