During November it’s fun to compare our region’s progress against other regions in both word count and donations. The Region Word Counts only take into account those who have their "Home Region" set up properly. To do that, here are a few instructions:
1. Sign in to the Nanowrimo web site and hover your mouse over the menu "My NaNoWriMo". One of the options under this menu is "My Regions". You can also get to this via your profile. On the left you will find a link that says "My Regions" Note: This will only show up if you are signed in.
2. Click "My Regions".
3. There are 3 tabs here: "Regions, "My Regions", "Home Region". Typically you will automatically be taken to the "My Regions" tab.
3a. If you have no regions chosen at all, click on the "Regions" tab. Here you will find a complete listing of all the regions available. Right now, Prescott is on the second page.
3b. On the right side of the "Prescott" line, you will see a link that says "Join". Confirm you wish to join, and now "Prescott" will show up under the tab "My Regions"
4. Click on the "Home Region" tab. Here you find a listing of all the regions that are listed under the "My Regions" tab with a little check box to the left of the name. NOTE: You must first have at least 1 region listed under the "My Regions" tab for you to be able to choose a home region.
5. Choose which of the regions you want to have as your home region and click that circle.
6. Click the button that says "Set Home Region".
Your home region is now saved and your word count will now count for the Prescott area!
Please note that this will also potentially subscribe you to receiving regional e-mail for that region as well as having all new forum posts forwarded to you. You can adjust these settings by going to Profile: Manage Subscriptions and Notifications (under Manage my settings).
Hope that helps!
