New Users Guide Discussion Page

Please comment on the NewUsersGuide . Let me know what you thought of it.... Just click the Edit Text of This Page link below....

There is masses of useful information in the New Users Guide Discussion Page, however, that is its weakness. I am visiting this page because I am creating my own wiki site and I am looking for some ideas. You have them, but someone who is new to wikis will not read all of your page. It needs to be broken down into really short and clear instructions (perhaps even on different pages.)

E.g. What is wiki?

      Why is wiki so revolutionary?
      How to create a new page
      How to edit a page
      How to add a link
      How to format your text
      How you can use wiki
      Examples of wiki pages etc.

[I'm going to cut and paste this list onto my own site now!!!!]

Hi again! I've just found the instructions page - much clearer and to the point. What I have said about the NewUsersGuide is still apt though. It took me a lot of playing around on sites before I got to undertand something of this strange concept. Treat newbies very gently!!!!

Thanks David for your comments. I really struggled with that page to try to make it as short as possible, but still not leave anything out. Most other sites would put each section on a separate page, but I was hoping that someone would take the time to print it out, and follow through it. I believe that it should only take someone 10 minutes to read the whole thing and try it out, but maybe not. I'll have to watch some people who are totally new to wiki try to follow it, and see if that gives me some ideas for improvement.... Recently I created 30 Second Quick Wiki Tutorial to try to have something even simpler to give to new users. -- Garnet

I'm testing this Wiki stuff and don't seem to get the right results from the [xxx] symbols in order to create my bookmark collection. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Marzarr Oops, used spaces. Sorry. It works well. This is great stuff. Thanks, Marzarr.
