First Wiki Lab


 * 1. Create a user account:
 * NOTE: You will only be able to do this during the registration period in class. If you did not come to class, email your instructor asap so she can create an account for you.
 * On the top right of the page, Click on "Log in / create account"
 * Click on "Create an account"
 * Create a userid and password for yourself.
 * Your userid should be constructed as follows: .
 * Fill in the requested information - Submit


 * 2. Check out your Preferences page:
 * Go to "Preferences" on the top right of the page.
 * Click on the "Date and time" tab.
 * In the "time zone" area, double check that the settings are correct.
 * Click Save.
 * NOTE: If you change the settings on the Appearance table (under Skin), you will change the "look and feel" of the wiki site (but only to your userid).


 * 3. Your user page:
 * Top right - click on your username (should be in red)
 * Click on "edit this page."
 * Enter your real name and your email address
 * Flesh out your bio. You can use the content from previous assignments (add hobbies, links, etc).
 * Look at the Guide_to_Formatting pages (or other bio pages) to figure out how to do the following:
 * Put 'section headings' in your bio. Note: if you have more than 3 sections, your bio page will automatically have a Table of Contents at the top.
 * Create tables, bullet lists, numbered lists, use bold/italics, modify background or foreground colors - basically I want to see that you went to the formatting page and learned different formatting tips for wiki pages.
 * Click "Save page"


 * 5. Link to your user page from the  Community Portal page  of the wiki
 * Try for alphabetical order by last name, if you can. :)
 * REMEMBER that all the other students will be trying to edit this page during this time. ETIQUETTE: To avoid conflicts, (1) check the discussion tab before you edit to see if someone is already working on the page and (2) edit the discussion page with a message like:

I'M WORKING HERE ~.
 * The four tildes automatically insert your signature. Then remove it when you are done with your editing.

Formatting Hint: Many HTML tags will work too!
