[edit] Search for the subject you're interested in

Enter a search term in the Search window and click the Go button. Image:Searching.jpg
If your name exactly matches one of the pages, you'll be taken straight there. If it doesn't, you'll be taken to a Search Results page where you'll be give a list of pages matching your search term. Image:Results.jpg
Click on a page name to visit that page. Image:Match.jpg
If you'd like to edit it click on the Edit button in the edit tab at the top of the page. See the section Some basic formatting below for details of how to lay out your work. Image:Edit.jpg
Don't forget to save your work when you've finished. Image:Save.jpg
If no page exists with the name you searched for, you'll be given the option to... Image:New.jpg


[edit] Create a new page

If the subject or service you're looking for doesn't exist you can click on the create this page link. Image:Create.jpg
You'll then be taken to the edit view of a new page with the title you searched for. Image:Editing.jpg
Enter your details or comments... Image:Details.jpg
Feel free to include whatever you think is useful. But as a general rule, if you're adding a service, we ask that you give some contact details. Image:Contact.jpg
And an explanation of what the service is, what it offers and who to. Remember that anyone and everyone has access to this site - so try to explain things as clearly as you can. Image:Service.jpg
Don't forget to save your work when you've finished. Image:Save.jpg

[edit] Some basic formatting

This site doesn't recognise regular html tags. But it has its own system of formatting. For instance, to make something appear bold you put three apostrophes on either side of the letters in the edit view. Image:Bold.jpg
To put something in italics put two apostrophes on either side. Image:Italics.jpg
To create an unnumbered list put items on different lines and put asterisks in front of them. Image:List.jpg
To create a main heading put two equal signs to either side of your heading Image:Heading.jpg
If you enter three or more headings in this way a Contents panel will be created at the top of the finished page. Image:Contents.jpg
To link to an external web address, enclose the full url in square brackets. Adding a space after the url and then naming the site will ensure the site or page name appears on the saved page. Image:Url.jpg
