Welcome

Hello Mduquaine... Welcome to AboutUs!

I noticed your edits to the wiki DomainPage for Exprt.com. I tried tweaking your logo just to give you an idea of what is possible (see ImageHelp for more ideas), but feel free to revert my change as it was merely a SuggestedEdit.

I'm excited that you've chosen to explore the wonderful world of wiki here at AboutUs.org - the place where everyone may collaborate to build the commons and community through their constructive edits and participation. Welcome! Would you care to add a little bit about yourself on your personal page so the community can get to know you? (You can see mine as an example by clicking my name below.) Be sure to let us/me know if you have any questions along the way - you can leave a message on my talk page via the "talk" link by my name (see How do I send a message to another user? and How do I improve my signature? to learn how). You may also join the AboutUs WebIRC to chat or ask a question. Below are some links that I have found useful...

• The WikiAnatomy tours: Three step-by-step tours to understanding and using wiki and AboutUs.org to the fullest. *Highly recommended!*
• Help Portal: The umbrella resource for all things help-related.
• Wiki Syntax: Basic wiki formatting guide, from italics to WikiLinking.
• Internal Linking Guide: Your guide to linking within a wiki.
• Image Help: Help with uploading and getting your image onto your WikiPage.
• How to improve AboutUs website pages: Ideas on how to spruce up a DomainPage.
• 5 Great Reasons to Make a Personal Page: How (and why) to create your very own PersonalPage.

Welcome to the AboutUs community - it's great to have you!

Hello Mary! On Exprt.com I just tried out having the text wrap around the image with the "left" tag - this makes the image go to the left and the text wrap more closely to it. I admit it didn't end up looking as good, but this is something that I have done with the image on my personal page as an example. It looks like you changed it back by taking out the "left" tag which looks nicer, and this is why it may look the same to you. I just wanted to show you one of the options that you have when using images within a wiki. (You can also add captions, resize the image, etc. - See ImageHelp for details.) Yep, wiki is quite fun and useful as you get to know it, and fairly simple to start using and learning. Let me know if I can help with anything or answer any questions. Have fun playing with wiki!

Great to have a kindred soul here!

Hi Mary, I look forward to talking with you about how wiki and organizing work in my mind. Cheers! MarkDilley
