# Click on your name at the top right hand side of the page.
 
# A window you can type into (edit) will come up.
 
# Type your story here or you can paste it into here from something like Word, but better to do it in the Edit box here.
 
# When you have finished make sure you click "Save Page" at the bottom.
 
 
 
===The best way and the way you will add to the Wiki from now on:===
 
 
 
# Click on IVF stories or Mums' Stories on the Welcome to WikiMum page
 
# Click on Edit at the top
 
# Notice the way the names are displayed and add yours in exactly the same way..with double SQUARE brackets around your title
 
# Click Save Page
 
# Now you will see your title in Red.  Click on that and it will take you to a new page, with that title, that you can write your story in.  Easy Peasy.
 
 
 
 
 
====How to create the Title for your story====
 
 
 
Titles/Headings are MAGIC in a Wiki, so you need to add them and treat them wisely.  If the Wiki can understand your titles, and it's a long article, it will automatically create a Table of Contents at the top of your piece.
 
 
 
In a nutshell, you add = signs to either side of the title.  Just == on either side for the first and biggest one, then === on either side for a subtitle and ==== for even smaller and so on.  You might have one big one, then several with the same smaller titles, that's fine.
 
 
 
So....
 
 
 
At the top of the story, still in the Edit Window, where you would put the title, click the = ("equals" key) 2 times.  Then type in Kerry's Story or Godzilla's Story (or whatever your name is) and click the = 2 times again.  Your title should look something like this...
 
 
 
== Godzilla's Story ==
 
 
 
If you are not sure if you are doing it right, then click the "Show Preview" button at the bottom of the page and you can see how it will look.  But don't forget to click "Save Page" when you have finished!
 
 
 
To separate paragraphs, just press return twice
 
 
 
You can create Smaller titles by adding more = signs, so...
 
 
 
=== My First Visit to the Clinic ===
 
 
 
Would be a sub-title of the first one you made.
