Okay, here goes...

In your browser of choice open this link: https://www.weibo.com

If you use Chrome, it should offer to translate the page, and if so you should be able to carry on with no problems. If you use a different browser, you might want to check into a translation add-on. However, if you are unable to see the page in your native language, then you should most likely see the following untranslated page:



Click the link to register...

Now,

If what you see looks like this page, then you have opened the registration by mobile telephone. If it does not look like this, see EMAIL REGISTRATION below.

Select the flag that for your country. If you can't see the flags, or if all you see is Chinese characters then you can always manually enter your country code plus your telephone number. USA is 001. If you don't know your country's telephone code then Google it...

This is what the page looks like translated:

Once you have filled in the appropriate information, then click on the GRAY button below the birthday selections. You should get a code on your phone, which you will type in the box immediately to the right of the GRAY button. Once you've made it that far, click the big YELLOW button to signup. Once you've completed this step, continue to SIGN UP COMPLETE below.

EMAIL REGISTRATION:

Sorry folks, but if you try to register with only an email address, it will still ask you for a telephone confirmation. The Email only registration page looks like this:



After you've filled in the appropriate information, this will pop up:



I mentioned earlier in the telephone registration that you will need to select your country and phone number to receive a confirmation text. If you wish not to use your actual phone, you can receive texts via a Google Voice phone number. There are other choices for SMS verification, but I'm not going to get into all that. I just had the text sent to my cell, no problems to report.

Moving on......

SIGN UP COMPLETE

Once you've completed the sign up process, you may have to login. This is that translated page:

(I don't need to explain this, do I?}





You may get automatically sent to the home page after registration, but if not, after logging in you should see your homepage. ->

Now, we all know what the settings button looks like, right? If not, it's that little "gear" looking thing above my nickname and avatar. Hover your mouse above that gear, and click the first word in the list. That words translates to "Account". You will then see this:





Here's the relevant stuff in English. Yeah, I didn't black this stuff out. So, my RR3 name is SatanLovesJello. I could use a team.......

I play DAILY, level 113, LOL!

Okay, so edit your screen name to be what you want. When you log into Weibo on RR3, it will use this screen name. It will also override whatever picture and name you have for Google Play and Facebook. Not sure why???

When you finish that, click on the house icon. For, ahem, you know... HOME

At the home page, you should see a blank spot for your picture of choice. Click on it.

You should end up with a screen like this:



Except, you won't see my pentagram logo, obviously. I forget what was originally there. Probably a default silhouette of a person, or some other generic crap. Anyway click on that now.

You should see this:



Again, you won't see the pentagram.

Unless...you want to.

CLICK:



After you click that, you should get the familiar computer browser box. Find the picture that you want to appear on RR3 and select it. I recommend the smaller and simpler the better, but do whatever. Use the cropping tool, and then...

Clicky the buttony thingy:



Okay. You're done. Now, you can click  the little gearbox thing. The very last word translates to "Log Out". Now,  I will explain how to load it into RR3. Going to start a new post, it's storming where I live and I would hate to lose all this effort.....
