You can access your user page when you are logged in by clicking on your username in the top right of any OpenWetWare page. You may want to open it now in a new window so that you can follow along as we set up your page. Once you are at your user page click on the '''edit''' tab. (If nothing has been added to your page you will be brought directly to the edit screen).

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. A section is made like this: <nowiki>==Section Name==</nowiki>, a subsection like this: <nowiki>===Sub-Section Name===</nowiki> etc.

==Filling out your page==
* Start with a second-level heading (<tt><nowiki>==</nowiki></tt>).
It's easy to put content on your pages. You simply type it in under the appropriate section, hitting '''Enter''' twice to create a new paragraph.
* 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).

A link to an external website is made by including the web address followed by the link title in single brackets: <nowiki>[http://www.pubmed.gov pubmed]</nowiki> gives: [http://www.pubmed.gov pubmed].
