Getting Started

1. To start off, watch This Video to get a quick over view of how to use the wiki editor
2. Next watch Basil explain a little bit about the concept on the BCF wiki and an example of how one might participate. (Note: I talk about linking to other wiki pages by using double quotes...what I should have said is double parenthises, which is what I actually use in the video). Sorry for any confusion but its not worth doing the video over.
3. Use the sandbox to "practice" using the Wiki Editor. Note that you can only preview your edited text in the sandbox, but nothing is ever saved, so don't worry about messing anything up...you can't. You can navigate to the Sandbox at any time by clicking the Sandbox link in the menu on the left.
4. For a complete list with explanations of all wiki edit functions, simply click the wiki help box at the bottom of the editor window. Also, you can access some "quicktags" by clicking the link by the same name just to the left of the edit window.

That should be enough to get you started! Now go forth and collaborate!
