Welcome Keith AKA max.print.

Go on, tell us you've signed up to add your water bottle funnel to the Tips and wrinkles 2 page .... we could really do with a hand putting more info up.

Be gentle with me Julian, I've only just got here.

In what format do you create wiki pages?
I don't mind giving a bit back when I've got some spare time but I'm a bit of an ignorant wiki fool atm.

OK, I'll be gentle!

If and idiot like me can struggle through with the wiki, then anyone with a modicum of sense can do it.  It's not too different to typing a letter, just with some little bits of code to add pictures in various ways, and make titles appear in a standard format etc etc.

Try having a read here ... http://www.biopowered.co.uk/wiki/Creating_pages and here ... http://www.biopowered.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=22.0

If just a little sinks in, get stuck in and have a go, you can mess anything up as all the pages can be reverted to a former version.  Try clicking view source or edit if you are logged in to the wiki (you need to log in to the forum and wiki separately, but the UN's and PW's are the same) on a wiki page and see how other pages are put together, it's easy to copy and paste code from other pages and alter to suit your requirements.

If you get stuck or need any help, just post on her and someone will help.

Julian, could you add Keith to the wiki editors group? :)  (Been shopping, I think we've bought and drunk enough wine that I shouldn't try and admin these things this evening ;) )

Did it last night and he's bloody well doing things that I couldn't do this morning!

Names issue is a bit spooky.  The VOD has three Julians, all with Land Rovers and two, I believe, share the same birthday.

Well I was a wiki virgin too, some of it has starting to sink in but I do have to look a lot of it up to remember how things work though :)  Editting an existing page is the easiest to get clues for how pictures are embedded and the like (never remember that off the top of my head).
