Lindy Hop Whiteboard Supreme

How the heck do I use this thing?!

This whiteboard -- "wiki" in geekspeak -- is charmingly easy to use.  And you can't break anything... don't worry :-) [Mac users... this won't work on Safari yet... sorry!]

Basic editing info (just 3 steps!)

  1. CLICK:  Click the edit button and wait a few seconds the first time.  Feeling unsure?  You can practice in the playpen!
  2. EDIT:  Pretend it's a word processor.  Edit stuff.  Add links by clicking this: .  Click Undo if you mess up. 
  3. SAVE:  Nothing is saved until you hit Save at the bottom!

Other editing tips and tricks:

  • PLAY:  Play with other buttons in the edit screen.  They do neat things
  • DON'T STRESS:  If something gets really messed up, I can always roll back to an earlier page version.
  • ATTRIBUTE:  Feel free to add your name after lines you post (e.g., [Adam Lasnik]).
  • PROTECT:  Please don't write e-mail addresses like joe@example.com; spambots will get them :(.  Instead, please write them like joe [at] example.com or joe @t example.com, etc.  Thanks!
  • ANNOTATE:  Or, instead of (or in addition) to that, you can add your name and/or optionally a note in the "Comment" field before you save something (e.g., "Jim Smith, jim [at] example.com; added Foo camp, corrected a couple typos")
  • SAVE TIME:  Shortcut keys work like you'd expect... ctrl-b for bold, ctrl-i for italics, etc.
  • GEEK OUT:  Uber-geeks... click on the HTML button above to format anything and everything in HTML :-)

But I'm a lurker... I don't wanna edit pages!

  • HANG OUT:  No problem!  You can have fun leaving comments, searching for stuff, or even just reading. 
  • BE LAZY:  If you're really shy about editing a page or leaving a public comment, you can always just drop me a note.  Let me know if what, if anything, you'd like me to paraphrase or otherwise add to LHWS.
