= HOW TO: =

**First thing's First:** Regardless of what you would like to do from the list below, you must always start by clicking on the **EDIT** button on the top right of the page before you can do anything!
 * If you have never use****d a wiki before or need a refresher on how to aid in the construction of this wiki, please refer to the notes below.**

** Add text: **
Simply the click the **EDIT** button on the top right of the page, scroll down to where you would like to insert your text, and start typing. Editing a page in Wikispaces is a lot like using a simple word processor — you don’t need to know any special markup languages or wikitext. Use the **bold**, //italic//, and __underline__ buttons for simple formatting, or use the **Color and Style Editor** button to change your text’s size, color , font , and more. //Just be sure to hit the **SAVE** button once you have made your additions to the page//!
