Create Pages Help

First Register (if you have not done so) then you will need to Log in.

If you are registered user you can log-in and create/edit your own Wiki page. To start your Wiki Page go to Menu -> MyTiki -> Preferences (left navigation panel) and select the "Your personal Wiki Page: UserName (Edit)" link. BTW: If you see a '?' after where your link to your page should be, that means the page does not exist. If the link is NOT a type-o or an error, then you can select the '?' to create the page.

Tip

Before you go to create/edit your page for the first time use a text editor in your computer first (do not use any formatting options), then open the site editor, copy and paste the text from your editor to the site editor. Then apply the site editor formatting options. This allows you to take your time to compose your text, as the site editor can 'time out' if no input is submitted (ex: the [ Preview ] or [ Save ] button not used within 20 minutes, typing text does not count). If your session does expire, copy your text from the site editor back to your text editor in your computer (so you do not lose your work).

Select the 'Edit' link to create/edit your Wiki Page, selecting the page name link only takes you to the page (without editing). Once you have your edit window you should see the usual formatting icons. First thing is to enter in all your text for the page (see 'Tip' above). Just highlight the text you want formatted and pick the formatting option you want to do with the selection. If you are in 'Wiki' edit mode you will see special characters before and after the selected text when done, these characters tell the site how to display the content that is between them. You can use the (pencil with a right green arrow) switch editor icon to toggle between WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) and Wiki edit mode. WYSIWYG is best for most people that want to create a quick page, however wiki editor will give you more precise editing options. Want to know more about wiki formatting/editing? Instead of reinventing the wheel, I have a link to tikiwiki.org site with documentation on using wiki format.

Before you save your creation, please click on the [ Categories ] tab and choose the one closest community site or group that your page best fits/relates to. However because you are not yet a verified member, once your edited page is saved it becomes unavailable to you and the public until the administrator reviews and approves it. Please make sure you are done all editing before saving. To avoid this approval process, become a verified member by calling 768-2227 (NW Ontario only) or have the administrator contact you (please include your name and phone number). You can contact the admin if you need further assistance with this process.

Some final notes:

• Being a 'community' site, please make sure all content is acceptable to all audiences (including children). If unsure contact the admin before publishing.
• Be conservative when creating content on this site, only create extra pages when needed (delete pages that are no longer needed), only add images with purpose, please NO uploading videos, instead insert via YouTube plugin.
• Please don't be a 'one hit wonder', check on this site when you can and keep your content fresh, try to update/edit your pages at least once a month (admin may delete pages and/or users that become inactive for a long time).
• Spam belongs in the can not this site. Please make your content informative and useful, if a business, service or organization page, advertising should be just a part of your content not the whole thing. Include useful information such as a map where to find you and/or information about your business, service or trade.
• Registration - Allows you to create a 'user' page, however all 'user' pages must be approved by the admin/moderator before being published, if your pages often turn out to be spam (or unacceptable), you could be blocked from wiki creating/editing or worse be deleted and/or banned from the site.

BTW: Posting pages is free, however this site webmaster does offer professional page formatting for you at $10/page for text only or $20/page for inserting images and or other media (paid via PayPal). However you will still need to supply the text and images (optionally sent to the webmaster via email).
