Do this if you want a quick way to get here. You don't need to go into your email.
On the top of the screen-next to "Quilting Board-The Quilters Message Board" info area, right click anywhere in the blank area. Click on "Create Shortcut". A message will come up asking if you want to place this site on your desktop. Choose "Yes". An icon with "Quilting Board" will show up and you just click on that when you turn on your computer. Or whenever. Keep in mind you may want to make sure you are at the "home' page of the Quilting Board. If you do this with any other screen, that is the screen that will come up when you open the shortcut on your desktop.
