To create a page in this wiki simply click on the **New Page** link at the top of the left navigation bar. You will then be prompted to make a new page using the following text boxes




 * If you are creating your personal page**
 * Use the personal page template and follow the instruction there for embedding the List of Links widget
 * Use your last name for the page name
 * add the tag "personal"

I**f you are creating a page for a proposal or installation**
 * Use blank page template
 * Use your last name and the name of the installation or proposal for the page name

I**f you are creating a page for a wiki blog post**
 * use the wiki blog post template
 * use your last name and the name of the post for the page name
 * add the tag "blog"

When you click on **Create,** you will be taken to the visual editor for your new page:



__You will need to put a link to your personal page on every new page you create__ so that it will be listed on your personal page. To do this, position you cursor at the top of the new page and click on the **insert link** button (unbroken chain link icon) on the visual editor. That will open the **insert link** drop down window:



__After you create any page, set notifications for the discussion board of that page:__
 * type your personal page name ( Miers P.) in the **Link Text** box.
 * start typing your personal page name in the **Page Name** box or click on the down arrow beside the **Page Name** box to find your personal page name in the alphabetical listing for all pages in the wiki.
 * click on **Add** Link button
 * click on the **notify me** tab at the top of the page
 * check the **Page Discussions** box
 * click on **Update**



Setting notification for page discussions will allow you to get email from me and your editors about your page. Since I monitor all page discussions in the wiki, you can query me at anytime about your page by posting on the discussion board.

To learn how to use the visual editor, read editing pages and consult the Wikispace helpmenu.

All pages in the wiki are either locked or unlocked. Locked pages are marked with the lock icon in in the upper left of the page. When you create a page, keep in mind the following:
 * any member of the wiki can edit any unlocked page;
 * only organizers of the wiki can delete or lock a page
 * any material deleted from a page can be restored by clicking on the "history" tab and reverting the page to an earlier edit.

You should contact me if:
 * other members of the wiki are contributing inappropriate or uninvited material to your project page;
 * you have encountered a problem editing a page which you don't know how to fix;
 * you have created a personal page which is not appearing on the navigation frame, or you have created a page which is not appearing on your personal page;
 * you wish to have a page you created deleted from the wiki.
