Instructions are written for the default Skin setting ‘Cologne bleu’, but most of it will apply to the other skins as well.

Signing in

We ask you to first sign in. For this you don’t have to submit any personal information at all. By signing in people can see who made a change. If you leave your e-mail address people can contact you about the changes you made to the sight, without knowing your email address.
Signing in is not compulsory, nor do you have to use your own name if you do sign in. If you want to put any other content on the page than text however, you will have to sign in.
To sign in, go to ‘Create an account or log in’ under ‘My pages’.

Start editing

If you want to contribute to a page you can click on ‘edit this page’ at the bottem of the page or in the navigation bar. This will makes it possible to edit the whole page.
You can also choose to click on one of the ‘edit’ links on the right. This makes it possible to edit only a section of the page.
After clicking one of those two options you will enter the editing page. Here you can change everything. You will see that there is a toolbar. If you want to use it, just highlight the text you want to use it on and click on an icon in the toolbar.

Writing text

These are basic functions you need to know for writing a text.

  • For the text to start on a new line: type <br> at the end. You don’t have to press return after this, but it will make it easier to see the structure of the text when you do.
  • For keeping a line white just add another <br>. Example: '''bold''' shows as bold
  • For italic text: type '' before and after the text you want to write in italics. Example: ''italic'' shows as: italic
  • For headlines: type = before and after the headline tekst. The more = you type (same amount before and after) the smaller the headline. A table of content is automatically made out of the headlines. Example: the headline of this section is typed as: ===Writing text===
