How+To+Use+This+Wiki

Getting Started

 * Anyone can view this Wiki without having to join or create an account
 * The left navigation panel is a good start for browsing but the Search is often the fastest option to find resources
 * Check the Recent Changes link to see what's been updated recently
 * Only people who want to be editors to add and update content need to become members by Joining the Wiki (the process includes creating your Wikispaces account from which you can also join other Wiki's or start your own Wiki)

Become An Editor
>>
 * If you are part of the Be The Change network of facilitators and volunteers and would like to be an editor:
 * Click on the **Join** link top left
 * Enter a **username, password and your email address** to create your WikiSpaces account
 * Click the **Join** button to join this Wiki (once you have a WikiSpaces account you can also join other Wikis or create your own)
 * An administrator will verify you are part of Be The Change network then approve your request
 * Wikis are organised around pages and sub pages rather than files under folders.
 * Where practical, add content as text on a Wiki page rather than as an uploaded document such as MS Word - it saves having to download the attached file to read it. Appropriate content to add as attached files includes (but not limited to): templates, large how to documents with lots of images, existing documents and spreadsheets (where the Wiki table option is insufficient).

WikiSpaces Help

 * ===Video Tours: [|http://www.wikispaces.com/content/wiki-tour]===
 * There are lots of how to videos in the Video Tours link

 * Editing Pages**
 * Use the **edit button** to make changes to any pages - we can track revision history so we can always refer back to previous content if needed.
 * As a general rule, try and use existing top level links to keep information organised and avoid creating an excessively long home page
 * Use the Widget button to add all sorts of options such as spreadsheets, table of contents, videos
