Hi Charles,<br>
<br>
It's easy to add pages in MediaWiki. On the left hand side, you'll see
a search area. Enter the name for a new page and press Go.<br>
-----------------------------------------<br>
<img src="file:///Users/stephenslevinski/Desktop/Picture%201.png" alt=""><br>
<br>
-----------------------------------------<br>
<br>
You'll get a search result saying that the page doesn't exist. There
will be a link to create the page. <br>
-----------------------------------------<br>
<img src="file:///Users/stephenslevinski/Desktop/Picture%202.png" alt=""><br>
<br>
-----------------------------------------<br>
<br>
You'll get a new page opened in edit mode.<br>
-----------------------------------------<br>
<br>
<img src="cid:part1.01050708.02010709@signpuddle.net" alt=""><br>
-----------------------------------------<br>
<br>
You can enter any text you want. To add signs to the page you can
either enter the text "<sign></sign>" where ever you want a
sign to be put, or you can press the <img
src="cid:part2.05090505.01040306@signpuddle.net" alt=""> toolbar
button. Then save the page. There will be edit buttons for the signs
you added.<br>
<br>
-----------------------------------------<br>
<img src="cid:part3.01080100.09040307@signpuddle.net" alt=""><br>
------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
I guess it's not the easiest, but once you get used to it, it really is
easy. Here's a link to the new page I created:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://signpuddle.net/mediawiki/index.php/Test_page">http://signpuddle.net/mediawiki/index.php/Test_page</a><br>

<div>This is cool. Apparently bunches of us are trying to put stuff
onto the page and only one edit at a time can happen. If we can get
multiple pages running it woudl really be great.</div>

WOW! Steve, this is a major development! THANK YOU!<br>
<br>
I just danced a little dance for joy, around my office ;-))<br>
<br>
I went to:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.signpuddle.net/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page">http://www.signpuddle.net/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page</a><br>
<br>
Which I assume is the Alpha version of the SignWriting MediaWiki Plugin?<br>
<br>
and I was able to edit and save a sign in the Wiki-style web <br>
page....using the new SignMaker and the ISWA...ha!!<br>
<br>
This may lead to possible Wikipedias in written Sign Languages, or <br>
other wiki-based web sites, will be able to have SignWriting directly <br>
on their sites...which will clearly lead to the spreading of <br>
SignWriting throughout the internet...<br>
<br>
Congratulations on this accomplishment...<br>
<br>
Val ;-)<br>
