REGISTRATION button is on the main page (in Russian it's Регистрация)

When you click on the Registration button you get 5 fields to fill (steps 1-5) and then a button to click (step 6):

Step 1. Login (Логин) If the login you chose is in use by somebody else already you will see a warning in red:
Логин (login) занят. You have to choose another login then. If your login is OK, there will appear sign
Логин (login) свободен. Then you can go on to the next field:
Step 2. Address (Домашний каталог (адрес дневника в сети)) This shows how your personal diary' address will look like. Again, if a page with this address already exists, the warning sign will be in red:
Домашний каталог занят. So choose a different one. Sometimes there is a couple of seconds' pause while Diary checks the address. If address is OK the sign will read
Домашний каталог (address) свободен and you can move on to
Step 3. Password (Пароль). At least 6 digit password is required. The bar color and sign on the right shows the password safety. Again if the password is unacceptable the sign turns red. Bar colors: black - weak, orange - medium, blue - good, green - excellent.
Step 4. Repeat Password (Будьте добры, повторите пароль еще раз). Exact translation from Russian is: Be so kind as to repeat your password one more time ))))
Step 5. E-mail. Oh, this one's in English suddenly. You will receive a link to finish registration to the e-mail you put in this field. You will be able also to receive e-mail notifications of Diary activities you choose to follow.

A sign will appear:

@темы: how to
спасибо.
Inpu,
вот чего я не умею, так это публиковать в ЖЖ-соо. Я туда даже захожу через раз. Думала там просто ссылку на этот пост кинуть
Кстати да! И список соо по АНКЛам и ссылку на Обзоры
публикуйте, конечно. И можно ссылку на этот пост тоже повесить. Я тут просто малость приболела и упустила этот момент
спасибо!
