A Home Page is like a regular home page on the web - where a person puts up information about themselves, pictures, links, whatever they like - but within the wiki. You can get a Home Page by creating a page (see Adding New Pages) with your name as its title. For example, Doris Lessing's Home Page would be Doris Lessing.
Having a home page is helpful when Participating In Wiki because people can click on your name in Recent Changes and learn more about you. Also, if you sign what you write people can just click on your name and again learn more about you (see Signing What You Write).
Try clicking on your name at the top of your Home Page - you'll see a list of all of any pages where your name is written in Wiki Case.
Sometimes the name of a Famous Person becomes a page where others talk about them. Doris, if you or any other Famous Person does come by, please feel free to take back your Home Page -- although it would be polite to move the contents to something like Doris Lessing Fans Said or People Who Didnt Understand Doris Lessing or something like that.
Most people welcome inserted or appended comments or messages on their home page (remember they won't see it til they look at it again :-), but would just as soon you left the rest of their Home Page alone.
Also, it would be great if you added the wiki link Ncdd Wiki Participants to the bottom of your Home Page. This gives visitors to your page a quick link to the list of other participants. It has been added to the bottom of this page to show you one way it can be done. This also creates an informal category for participants (see Creating And Using Categories).
