All the information on this site was created by people like you. Here are some of the things you can do to make this website what you want it to be.

Please, don't be afraid to jump right in!

Leave Comments

All pages provide a link near the bottom to, "Add new comment". You can respond to a webpage and any comments already made, allowing discussion on any topic for which there is a page on our website. See our Comments page for more information.

Login

Logging into our website (using the "User login" form at right) allows you to:

• Post comments without delay (comments from anonymous users are moderated)
• Be notified by email of website activity to which you're interested (subscriptions)
• View non-pulic webpages (those tagged "sensitive")
• Edit existing webpages
• Create new webpages

If it's your first time logging in, choose the "Create new account" link to the right. It's very easy to do, and you only have to do it once.

Subscribe

Stay "in the loop"! You can be notified by email of any information you're interested in by "subscribing". Be informed of:

• Webpages added to the site under particular categories: Go to "My account" (to the right), then "Subscriptions" (near the top of the page), then "Categories", select the topics that interest you, and "Save" (near the bottom of the page).
• Discussion on, or changes to, a particular webpage: Visit "Subscribe" near the bottom of the page content.

More information is available on subscriptions.

Edit Content

Want to correct or improve a webpage? Please do, it's the only way it will get done!

You must be logged-in to edit a page. Near the top of the page you will see an option to "Edit". If you do not, select its title first.

All past versions of the page are saved, so you don't have to worry about the page getting "messed up". In the case of an unwanted change, a page may be reverted to an earlier version through the "Revisions" link near the top.

Organize

Webpages are only useful if they can be found. To this end, every webpage should be marked with terms that best describe its content. By doing so, the website automatically:

• Places pages in the "Categories" navigation (more information)
• Enforces access permissions (more information)

Again, don't like how something is organized? Fix it! :^)

When editing or creating a page, you will see a "Categories" section, containing two places for input.

The first, "Category", allows you to select any number of pre-made categories. (Hold down the Control (Ctrl) key on your keyboard while clicking to select multiple categories.)

The "Tag" input allows you to assign any term you'd like, in case the pre-made categories do not suffice. As you type, the system will suggest similar terms that have been used in the past.

Create Content

This website is what you make it!

Contribute to the website by posting new information on a page of its own by following the "Create content" link to the right.

Don't worry if this seems like a lot to take in! Proficiency comes with practice. The most important things to remember:

• You can't break anything
• It's good to play (explore the site, try the features (subscriptions, comments, editing, creating))
• This site is what you make it!
