If you don't have that already under your belt you will be spending much more time than necessary trying to create your site and make a multimedia links page. And I will have to give you a short, short course in web pages in addition to this course.

The Password is different. Your starting password HERE (for quizzes) is the word password. Change it later, yourself. If you haven't logged in here before and if you are not a UMKC student the starter login is your first initial and your lastname for the username (such as Jane Smith is jsmith) and the word password is the password. Then edit your personal information to change your password to your current UMKC/other login (to make it easier to remember). - Once you've logged in you can change your password yourself.
