Wiki rule #1: It's impossible to permanently mess up any page in a wiki. In the touch of a key, the previous version can easily be restored -- by you -- or anyone. So feel free to experiment.

Six steps for getting started that take no more than 30 minutes:

1.If you haven't already done so, bookmark http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php/Main_Page (30 seconds)

2. Create a login account at http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&returnto=Main_Page (45 seconds)

3. Look over the main page and read the directions at http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php/AleDirections (5-10 mins)

4. Add a paragraph to the Who’s Here page (5-10 mins)

a) Go to WhosHere

b). Select the “edit” tab

c) Scroll down to the bottom of the edit window and, after the five dashes, add your introduction. You might want to look at the formatting that others have used, for example, == before and after your name.

d) When you are done, add five dashes to make a horizontal line, then select “Show preview.” If you like what you see, select “Save page.” Otherwise, backpage and make changes in the text until you get it the way you want. Then select “Save page.”

5. Note that the sidebar menu (to the left on every page) offers a quick way to return to the Topics page or the Main Page and a link to a Help page.

6. Go to a topic area you are interested in, browse and add your comments/ideas. The easiest way to do this is to select the "discussion" tab at the top of the page you want to add comments to. Write your comments in the edit window, then select "Show preview" at the bottom of the page. When you like what you have written, select "Save page" at the bottom of the edit window.(5-20 mins)

Have we hooked you yet? (We hope so!)
