and hit save. Edit the resulting page, just like any other wiki page on [[AboutUs]]. Please note: while the "thumbnail" technology works on top-level domains like "[[SnapNames.com]]", sometimes it doesn't work for subdomains. If it doesn't, you can always remove it in the "Edit" mode near the top of the page, between the <nowiki><thumbnail> and </thumbnail></nowiki> tags.
