Time for action — sign in to your Office Live Small Business account
- Browse to www.officelive.com. The Microsoft Office Live web page appears:
- Click the Sign in button in the top right-hand corner. You'll arrive at Office Live Small Business's Sign In page, as shown in the following screenshot:
- If you prefer a secured sign-in, as I do, click the Use enhanced security link under the Sign in button and Office Live Small Business will display a secured sign-in page. The secured page looks just like the unsecured page. But if you look carefully, the link under the Sign in button now reads Use standard security.
When you use the secured sign-in, your Windows Live ID and password are encrypted when they're sent over the wire for authenti cati on. This prevents the bad guys from stealing them. That's why online stores, bank websites, or any other websites that require you to provide sensiti ve informati on use secured channels. Unlike your banking session, however, Offi ce Live only uses the secured connection for signing you in. Once you're in, it reverts to the standard connection.
- Enter your Windows Live ID and password.
- If you want Office Live Small Business to remember your Windows Live ID, select the Remember me on this computer checkbox.
- If you want Office Live Small Business to remember your password as well, select the Remember my password checkbox below it.
Note
Remember me on this computer and Remember my password checkboxes make signing in easier in the future. But once you select them both, anybody who has access to your computer account can access your Office Live Small Business account as well. In fact, that person will have access to all of your Microsoft accounts; such as Windows Live, Windows Live Spaces, and Office Live Mail, which are secured by your Windows Live ID. Personally, I prefer to enter my credentials every time I visit a website.
- Click the Sign in button. You'll arrive at the Microsoft Office Live Home page:
What just happened?
You signed in to your Office Live Small Business account and arrived at the Microsoft Office Live Home page. That's too long a name to repeat throughout the remainder of this book. So, I'll simply call it the Home page. But don't confuse it with the home page of the website you'll soon build. We'll call that page the Default page for reasons that I'll explain in Chapter 5.
The Home page is your dashboard for managing your Office Live Small Business account. It sports one-click access to several common tasks that you're likely to perform after signing-in to your account.
But the page is a bit confusing for three reasons:
- It has too many links.
- Many of the links are redundant. For example, there are three links on the page that lead to the website section.
- Although the page is clearly for the benefit of first-time visitors, you see it every time you sign in to your Office Live Small Business account.
But with time, you’ll learn to use this page to work more efficiently. The links we’ll focus on for now are in the site navigation bar at the top centre of the page: Home, Workspaces, Web Site, E-mail, Support, and More. You'll see these links on almost every page. They represent Office Live Small Business's top-level functions. Each link leads you to a section of the site—a sub-site of sorts, which focuses on that particular function.
Although we'll spend most of our time in the website section, which deals with building and maintaining your website, we'll briefly touch upon other sections, such as the E-mail section and a few sub-sections under More, when necessary.
