Subject Line: Welcome to WikiEducator!

Greetings {{{1}}}

I'm a WikiNeighbour and I'd like to extend a warm welcome to our community. (We're 5,305 strong, and counting...)

{{{2}}}

Please introduce yourself, and tell us about your activities and interests on your user page. (Click on the "user page" tab or link above. If you want some ideas about getting started, please look at some of your WikiNeighbour user pages for some ideas. Here is the current list of WikiNeighbours.

Try your hand at the Wiki Syntax -- but don't worry if you don't get it right the first time! There are many WikiNeighbours roaming our community, drop them a note and they will come along to help you out! Check our the links below on getting started with your user page.

Don't be surprised if a WikiNeighbour visits your user page and helps out a little with ideas for your User Page or refines your syntax so that you can get it right next time!

Chat to you soon.

Help on getting started with Wiki editing

There are a couple of resources on WikiEducator to help you get started. You obviously have an account already and may need a little help with the basics of wiki editing.

If you're like me and only read the instructions when you have a problem :-) - there is a quick start set of guidelines which should get you going.

If you have any questions please feel free to join our discussion list on Google groups which is a good place to get help from the community, or drop me a note on my talk page below.
