Welcome!

Be pleased to hear any comments once you've looked around or, better still, have an edit or two if you see any thing that needs correcting.

If you fancy having a bash at compiling at page there's lots of topics that need covering ... all contribution gratefully accepted.

Thanks guys, hopefully it will get built up like the other site. If you want any bits on blending, let me know (but you will have to guide me round the site)

Ah ha .... need another guinea pig!

Try having a look at the page "Creating pages" linked from the editors box in the side bar on the wiki.  I've only just put it, and the "New page" template together.  I'd be interested to know if it makes any sense at all.  If you get stuck just post on her and someone will help, but not me tonight cos I'm off to the pub shortly!

Julian - cannot find a 'create' or 'edit' button when I log in

No problem.  The screen grab below should help

(http://www.palmergroup.co.uk/Bio/Wiki create and edit.png)

Read the "Creating pages" page first and I hope all will be self explanatory.  Edit tab is always in the same place on every page, but there are edit tabs to the right hand side for editing paragraphs separately.  To edit the wiki, you need to login to the wiki, not just the forum.  Wiki login top right of each page.

Hope this helps, any other problems give us a shout.

Julian, can that go in a sticky (and on the wiki?) somewhere?

Yes, no problem.  Could it replace your "How to create new pages" post, I think it's a little more concise (appreciate the wiki stuff wasn't up when you posted).

Don't quite know how it would fit into the wiki, once you've clicked "Creating pages" you don't really need it.

Yup, you may as well delete that thread since you've gone the step beyond with guides and stuff
