User talk:Hooperwb

Welcome!
Hi Hooperwb -- we are excited to have Shady Lane Wiki as part of the Wikia community! Thanks for joining us, and we'd like to give you some tips to help you get started on making your wiki great.

Your first four steps:
1. Create your User Page - this is a great place to introduce yourself (and practice wiki-editing!)

2. Add a logo - learn how to create a logo image, then click here to add it to the wiki. Create an article on this wiki: width=30 3. Create your first 10 articles - use the box on the right to create ten pages, starting each one off with a few sentences. For example if you are starting a wiki on a TV show, you might create an article for each main character.

4. Edit your Main Page - add internal links ( like this ) to the ten articles you just created, and any other improvements you can think of.

Once you've done these four things, you've created a great starting point -- your wiki looks friendly and ready for visitors. You can then invite some friends to help you create the next twenty pages, and expand the ones you've built.

Keep going! The more pages you create and link to each other, the sooner that others who are searching for "Shady Lane Wiki" will be able find your project in search engines, read your content and join you in editing.

If you have more questions, we've provided a full set of help pages, or you can email us through our contact form. Don't forget to check out other wikis on Wikia for ideas on layout, organizing your pages, and more. Have fun!

Best wishes, Catherine Munro

Familypedia
Hi! Not much activity since your first two weeks. Maybe you would get more traffic and more encouragement, and have more to show for each hour's work, if your pages for individuals were on Familypedia, the big genealogy Wikia. Specially-adapted software for displaying family relationships and linking to places. Start at w:c:family:Category:Tennessee, maybe. Or w:c:family:Robertson County, Tennessee. — Robin Patterson (Talk) 04:02, August 15, 2010 (UTC)
