- In order to contribute to this World Cruising Wiki please REGISTER (it's free, quick and easy) or LOGIN (top R/H corner of this page). This is essential in an attempt to reduce spam.
- Once you are logged in, update "My Preferences" (menu at top R/H of page).
- When editing, ALWAYS click on "Show Preview" BEFORE saving the page. This allows you to re-edit/add without unnecessary page-loading. Save the page when finished.
To Edit:
- Register/Login
- Click the "EDIT" tab at the top of the page to be able to edit the whole page
- Click the "EDIT" link (R/H, top) of each section to edit only that section.
- The Editor opens to allow you to edit/add, etc.
- After editing, click the "Preview" link to preview your edits - this step affords you the opportunity to do any corrections before finally saving your edit. N.B. Do not forget to "SAVE" your edit.
- Note: Do not leave a SPACE at the beginning of paragraphs or lines as this will cancel the Wiki text formatting - it will change the text font and make the lines/paragraphs run off the page width.
This is an example of what happens when leaving a space at the beginning of the line or paragraph ...
- Editing Tip 1:Prepare your edit/addition in MS Notepad (using the Wiki formatting below) - then copy/paste this to the Wiki's editor.
