Creating a Page and Editing Guide

This is a step by step guide to creating a page.
1) You must first register for the site and be signed in. After you are signed into Toxipedia, a box will appear in the upper left hand area of the page that looks like this:

2) Click on the add page button. This brings up a blank screen that will soon become your page. The first rectangular blank is the topic line. It will initially will read "New Page" but the user should add the title of his/her new page. The larger second blank which takes up the majority of the space will form the content of the page.

3) Creating your page is as easy as creating a Microsoft Word Document. See the User Guide for further instruction.

4) Once you have saved your page, it will be edited for both content and clarity, and will then enter the general populace of pages.

Saving Your Work and Author Pages

Saving
Saving your work is easy. Merely click on the "save" button at the top-right or bottom-right of the edit page. "Cancel" will ignore all edits. 

Author Page
We ask that every author has his/her own author page to provide Toxipedia users with some background.  To make your author page, use the same process and follow the same steps and add your own name in the topic line of your new page.
