= How to Join Wikispaces! =

<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);">__#1. Getting started:__
1. You will have to pick a username. (first initial and last name would be good) (no periods and no spaces) 2. Make up your own password. (Write it down somewhere. You will have to remember it and use it.) (Make it easy!) 3. You __**must**__ type in an email address. (This has to be done, you will probably have to use your parents' email) 4. Click the box that says //__**Join.**__//
 * Look up at the top where it says **__//Guest//__**.
 * Beside it should be the word //**__Join.__**//
 * Click on __//**Join**//__. This will take you to a new screen.

<span style="background-color: rgb(204, 204, 229);">You will be sent to the //**Welcome Screen.**//
(At some point you need to login to your email account and confirm your address.) For now... go to the section called...

Your New Account
Click on //__Dashboard__// This sends you to the __**My Account**__ page. It says:

Welcome (and your User Name)
Go to the //__Favorite Wikis__// section Click in the box that says...
 * Add a wiki to this list.
 * Type in** **<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);">//cabbagegardeners// ** (no spaces)
 * You will see <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);">//CabbageGardeners// (with //"not a member"// underneathe it.)
 * Beside it you will see all the members who have already joined.

=<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0); text-align: center; display: block;">That's it for your part! It wasn't that bad, was it? =

A message will get sent to me telling me you have requested membership. Before you can upload your photo or do anything else, I will have to approve you as a member. Only those names which are on my list of Homer-Center Second Graders, or those I know, will be approved. This is to stop those who shouldn't be here from adding unwanted things. Make sure you have signed your request with your name or I will not approve it. This is for your protection. To check to see if you are approved look back at the //**<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);">Manage Wikis **// section to see if you are listed as a member.
