Welcome to the AboutUs Beta!The concept of a fully editable website was invented over a decade ago, and is now popularly referred to as a "Wiki" -- more on that story here.

You can visit a web site from any AboutUs article page simply by clicking on the site thumbnail on the right-hand side of the page. There are many Web sites which are not yet in the system, please add your website in the Search text box to the left, in the format MyWebsite.com - you should be taken to your page with in 1-6 seconds. Please let us know if that doesn't happen. If you know of a site, please feel free to see what information we've already gathered and if you can add something constructive, edit away! You don't need an Account to use and make text changes to this wiki, although to upload pictures, images and other files, you will need one. See Advantages of Logging In for more benefits to having an account. If you'd be interested in developing a topic or helping patrol changes and welcome other people to the project, please contact me and I'll be more than happy to explain how.
