New page

[[File:Cohcomicindexlogo.png|thumb|right|150px|WELCOME!]]
= Welcome =

If this is your first time involved with a WikiMedia project, '''WELCOME'''!

Please make full use of the other '''[[:Category:How To|How To]]''' tutorials as they will give you the basics on creating and editing entries.

= Introduce Yourself =

If you haven't already done so, you'll need to '''[[Special:UserLogin|create an account]]''' in order to create and edit entries, as well as posting comments or uploading files. We do not allow anonymous postings anymore, and you can thank the spambots for that.

Once you have created an account for yourself and you have logged in, you are given the first and best opportunity to either show off or to experiment with WikiMedia creations... and that is your own '''USER PAGE'''.

By clicking on your own account name, you will be taken to your user page. If you have not already created one, you will be sent to the editing section so you can create it.

'''PLEASE''' take the time to introduce yourself, even if it is just a couple of sentences. Who are you? Are you a comic book writer? A fan? A critic?

Don't worry if what you put in isn't enough or if it doesn't look good. You can always go back and fix it later on.

== Your Profile As Your Worksheet ==

Working on your profile will give you great practice for creating and editing other entries. Then you can save what you have and go back later on to refine it, or to start from scratch with a blank page.

You can always get some hints by checking out the other [[Special:ListUsers|users]] to see what they have put in, or you can check out the user profiles in [http://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia] or [http://paragonwiki.com Paragon Wiki] or some of the other WikiMedia sites to get some ideas.

Take your time. The more time you spend working on your profile page, the better your skills will be when you start creating and editing other entries.

== Your Profile As Your Billboard ==

If you are an '''[[:Category:By Author|author]]''', this profile is your opportunity to promote yourself and your creations. Here is where you can link your comics page, your portfolio, your blog site, who you are, so when people ask that question, they can click on your username and see your profile and know exactly who you are.

= Introduce Your Creation(s) =

If you are an author of a fan-based comic series, once you have your profile down then your next step should be to introduce your comics if an entry hasn't already been created for it.

Before you start working on one, it would be best to do a quick search to make sure it hasn't already been created.

Type in the name of your creation in the entry box on the left of the page and make sure you click on the "SEARCH" button to engage in a search of the whole website for any mention of the project. If an entry doesn't already exist then you will be prompted to create one using that specific name.

'''BE CAREFUL''' about the name of the entry you create. For instance, if you do a search for "John" and you follow the link to create a new entry for your "John Doe" comic, then it will create it under the name "John", not "John Doe". It is possible to change the entry later, but it does get complicated.

Be sure to check out the other '''"[[:Category:How To|How To]]"''' entries for including [[How To: Image|images]] and [[How To: Links|links]] into your entry.
