Wikieducator rich text editor tutorials/Basic text formatting/Create my sandbox

Many wikieducators, both novice and most expert, find it very useful to have their own practice page in the wiki. We call this personal practice page a sandbox. You will create it to be a link from your User page. Your sandbox is a place where you can safely practice wiki editing, including more complicated layout features, without worrying about inadvertently changing the layout on one of the main pages in the wiki or having to share a single sandbox with all the members of WikiEducator.

Activity to create a sandbox (or practice area)
The following activity is designed to automatically create a sandbox on your user page. Read the instructions once through carefully before beginning the process.

Don't worry if you find the procedure for creating a sandbox a little confusing at this stage. We haven't covered the method for creating new pages yet. We will be covering how to create new pages and links in a subsequent tutorial. This activity automated the syntax required for a dedicated personal sandbox connected to your user page.

Now that you have created your sandbox, it is time to work on formatting some text.
