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.

Click on your username to edit

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.

What You Type	What You Get
Start your sections as follows: ==New section== ===Subsection=== ====Sub-subsection====	New section Subsection Sub-subsection Start with a second-level heading (==). Use subsequent levels (second, third, then fourth levels). Table of Contents automatic with 4+ subsections. If appropriate, place subsections in an order (i.e. alphabetical, numerical, etc).

You can see what your page now looks like by clicking .
