WELCOME TO SHIP SPOTTING WORLD
If this is the first time you've used a wiki you may have a few questions. Most of the answers are obvious. To learn to edit, why not just dive in? At the foot of the editing window there is a help link. This opens in a new window and gives you a good overview of wiki syntax and stuff.

Getting started
|
- Get started with editing articles. Just type in the title of anything you might want to edit in the search bar on the left. If an article does not already exist, feel free to create it.

The Community
|
- Best yet you have a Spotting World Blog if you want it. Have a look at your User page. There is a link to let you create your blog. This is part of what Spotting World does for you. Or just go to blogs.spottingworld.com. You can use your blog for any lawful purpose. It's yours to do with as you like. Anyone can read your blog once you create it, but only you can write to it.

Some advice
|
- This is not an encyclopedia. Pages here do not need to comply with encyclopaedic notions or citations or neutrality. Just dive in and start.
- One of the first things you might want to do is to place {{talktome}} at the top of your talk page (this page) above this welcome message. Taking heed of what it says will make it much easier for you to follow discussions on talk pages.
- And while you browse the site, and especially when you've created something truly worthwhile, why not Digg and also tag on del.icio.us – the tools are in the left hand menu. The more Diggs (etc) we have the better, because Diggs and del.icio.us links add to our findability. The best way to find out about them is to click on the tool. Each is different and each gives you the chance to "rate" any article here. Or anywhere else come to that!
- You can embed maps, videos, Flickr photographs and much more.
- And don't forget to tell your friends about us!

Welcome
We need admins. Since you are a WP admin I just made you one here, too. I really want this to be a self running and self policing community, so I won;t be interfering much, if at all. Tim Trent 08:45, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
