Let me be the first second to welcome you and commend you on your enthusiasm and ability to follow instructions. The Misplaced Pages mantra is BE BOLD. For me at least, just making an account took a great deal of courage. The next logical step in your Misplaced Pages indoctrination is to energize your home page. It will serve as an excellent place to learn some of the basic wiki-codes without dorking up an article. Editing skills will require some experimentation and self teaching. The easiest way to start is to visit others and “steal” some ideas. By that - I mean click the edit tab and see their html codes which you can copy and paste into yours. CAREFUL --- don’t edit their page…. COPY not cut!!!!! You can then adjust it to reflect your own personal style. Feel free to be creative. Try to provide some insight into who you are while still maintaining your Anonymity. Personally I like the community’s use of user boxes to provide some insight into your way of thinking. --JimmyButler (talk) 01:46, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. You will find a surprising amount of support for your class project. Don't worry too much about the details of Misplaced Pages...just add good reliable content...which is far harder to do than endless formatting! Cheers! Wassupwestcoast (talk) 02:43, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Tip: If your making lots of small changes to a page, rather then clicking "Save page" for every change to see how it looks, Use "Show preview" between changes. When you have done editing a page for the time being, then you click "Save page". The reason for this is so you don’t make a save for every little thing you change, thus creating more revisions than necessary. For more information, ask your teacher or contact me on my talk page .
Tip: When you make a change to an article page, its good practice to fill out the Edit summary field. The edit summary field is a small text box above the Save Page button where you can briefly describe the changes you have made. The reason this is good practice is it tells other users what you changed without them having to view the revision. It also makes it easy to find a particuler edit in the page history should you wish to UNDO an edit or see the date of a change.
