| + | |||
| + | Our pages start very basic. This page has categories, related websites, ways to contact them, a basic description of what the website is, and three links to the website (here, here and here). | ||
| − | + | If you know something about [[InCatch.com]] you can click the edit button and add to or change the content of its AboutUs page. (To edit pages here at AboutUs you need to be logged in, so I will do that.) | |
| − | + | I'm going to edit the page and make a simple punctuation change. | |
| − | + | [[UltimateGlobes.com]] is an example of a page that has been edited and worked on a bit more. You can see that it has a more robust description of the site, images and even a YouTube video. You can also see how many times the page has been viewed and who it has been edited by in the box to the right. In total, millions of people view our pages each month. | |

Enter in your name (*Ted Ernst or Kristina Weis or whatever*), email address, a password that you'll remember so that you can login to your account again later, and enter in what you see in the funny captcha there. | |
