Tips & Warnings

  • Check in with "Member Services" through eHow's "Contact Us" page if you're having any problems uploading your avatar photo or simply setting up an eHow profile (see Resources below).
  • Protect your privacy. Don't reveal personal information like your name, telephone number or address to strangers online.
  • Respect your computer. Some equipment is very expensive. Before you follow steps that could cause damage to your computer (like installing an additional hard drive), be certain you can afford to fix the damage if something goes wrong.
