Starting Your User Page
Perhaps your user page is the most comfortable place for you to start editing. A brief description of who you are and what you are doing will help others feel comfortable with your edits and may even lead to productive collaborations. To access your user page, log in, then click on your username at the top right of any OpenWetWare page. Then, click on the tab. If nothing has been added to your page you will be brought directly to the edit screen.

Formatting
Breaking up your page into different sections will make it much easier to read. If you create enough different sections, a table of contents like the one at the top of this page will be created automatically. {| border="1" cellpadding="4" align="center"
 * width="350px" valign="top"|What You Type
 * width="350px" valign="top"|What You Get
 * - valign="top"
