This is a guide for new list owners in administrating their list.

1. Create your List

2. Login to your List.

Copy the password from your sign-up email and use the login box at the URL also supplied in the email to login.

3. Go to your Admin Panel

Once you are logged-in as admin, you will be able to see a link "Go to Administration Panel" in the footer of your list pages. Click the link. For security purposes, you may need to re-authenticate before entering the admin panel.

4. Configure your List

Click on List Admin -> Top Site List Config.

Here you can control your lists appearance, functionality and optional custom HTML layout for total control. For more details, see our guide: How to Configure your Top Site List

5. Configure your Portal

Click on Portal Admin -> Portal Config.

If you are not using the Custom HTML option, you can still customize your list homepage Portal in many ways. The Portal Admin section of the admin panel allows you to integrate your homepage and your forum, provide a custom welcome message, a poll, or even add a blog.

There are also options under the Portal Admin section to install a custom Logo and a custom Background image. For more details, see our guide: How to Configure your Portal

6. Configure your Style

For admins not using the custom HTML option, we have over 275 different styles that you can select for a unique professional-looking appearance.

Please see our guide: How to Change the Look of your List & Forum with Styles for details on how to select your style.

7. Upload Voting Images

Members always have access to a text voting code in their account area, but we recommend you provide your members with up to 3 more voting codes that include your own custom images, by uploading them in the List Admin section.
