How to create other pages or link to existing ones

You can't just create a new page. You have to start off by creating a link.

While editing a page, type '[' (square bracket) twice, then type a title for your new page, then type ']' twice. Your link should look like this...

[[My New Page]]

Save the page you are editing and the title should appear as a red link text. You can then click that link to bring up the new page.

You can link to other pages, by doing the same thing with the title of the page you wish to link to.

This sounds complicated and confusing, but it isn't really. So, for example, you want to add a recipe for Pavlova. Click on the RECIPE link on the WELCOME PAGE. Write [[Pavlova]]. Click Save. Now click on the link you have just made, that says Pavlova and now write your recipe!
