First, WELCOME!

Second, IF YOU DON'T READ THIS, YOU'LL MISS AT LEAST A THIRD OF WHAT THE PORTFOLIO HAS TO OFFER!

We're delighted to have you as a subscriber and client.

To help you make the very best use of your subscription access and privileges, here's a very brief - JUST FIVE SHORT PARAGRAPHS - introduction to The Online Portfolio: how to navigate through its thousands of pages of images and data, and how to get the most out of it.

1. To ADD TO FAVORITES or BOOKMARK: click on the link below (or cut and paste it into your browser's location/address field), then go to the appropriate dropdown menu above your browser window and release on ADD TO FAVORITES (Explorer, AOL) or BOOKMARK (Netscape).

2. From the FAVORITES or BOOKMARKed page location you added in ¶1 above, click on the "LOGIN" button - near top right, just below the words "SITE DIRECTORY."

Note: Out of respect for our many mainstream clients and some of their employees, all images containing undraped frontal nudity or any degree of eroticism are filed in a server directory requiring separate entry of passcodes when first accessed in any Portfolio visit. Any subscriber may UPGRADE his or her access AT NO CHARGE and at any time, or request a separate set of restricted passcodes for that subscriber's employees' use.

An UPGRADE link appears in text just above the listings on Page One of The Talent Names Directory, AND in the Subscription Management section of The Gateway SiteNavBar.

3. When an authorization window appears: enter a valid Username and Password in the fields provided. This will take you to The Portfolio Gateway Page where our Subscriber News Box will keep you apprised of updates, additions and new features. You can jump to the main Gateway SiteNavBar (Site Navigation Bar) - which is actually located at the foot of the Portfolio Gateway page - at any time, simply by clicking on the TCM logo at the upper right hand corner of that page, or on any of several blue or purple hyperlinks scattered throughout that page.

4. Portfolio Navigation: The Gateway SiteNavBar contains both a search field (that will find keywords throughout the entire Ten Casting website, as well as all occurances of any talent's name) and a listing of important pages throughout the Portfolio and beyond. The first of them is the Talent Portfolio Names Directory - probably the one you really want to get to first. This page (and any additional pages necessary to continue the list) contains links to individual talent's image files - in the order those pages were added or updated - most recent on top, older as you proceed down the list.

5. Finally, take thirty minutes - perhaps on your second visit inside the Portfolio - and proceed through all of the SiteNavBar's links. We particularly recommend The Talent Database link, Wishlist Entry (when you go there, scroll back up to the top for a full explanation!), and our Casting Procedues FAQ. The great strength of the Internet and particularly of the World Wide Web lies in its ability to quickly and efficiently deliver the very specific information and imagery a user may be seeking. Take a few minutes to learn to use our special resources most effectively. . . and thoroughly.
