-Add the name in the URL listing of your browser. So that it reads:
-:<nowiki>http://www.aboutus.org/xyz.uvw.com</nowiki>
-::or
-:<nowiki>http://www.aboutus.org/xyz.com/wxyz</nowiki>
-:(Note: add the name in your ''web browser'', not the AboutUs Find! box.)
-This will give you new page with no text, click the "edit this page link". Once you're in the edit window, copy in the following:
-:<nowiki>{{subst:Subdomain}}</nowiki>
-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.

-<li>SubDomainTestBox template{{br}}
-Just like the second option, but instead of {{tl|Subdomain}}, add <nowiki>{{SubDomainTestBox|<parentcategory.tld>}}</nowiki> to generate the box below.{{br}}{{SubDomainTestBox|aboutus.org}}
