Wiki Tips: Getting Started Video
| Welcome to the HP Small and Medium Business Community. This wiki is special website that you can help build -- a place where you, your colleagues and mentors, and HP can share marketing tips and ideas to help build your business. It's easy to add a page or share an idea, and it's easy to find other business peers and get inspiration. Together, we can build your brand and your business. This quick tour will help you learn how to navigate the site, will highlight what sharing and page editing tools are available to you, and it will help you modify your member profile. (Moderator's note: Our Getting Started video is temporarily unavailable due to needed updates. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.) |
| What's happening on the HP Small and Medium Business Community Wiki? These main section links (within the highlighted green box below) are always available at the top of every page. Click on Home to go to the front page of the Community. Participate in a community conversation by clicking on Discussion Forum. Click on What’s New to see the most active sections of the Community. Find other Members and see what they're sharing. And if you’d like to invite friends and family to join the community, click on Invite.  |
| How to start contributing Once you're a member, be sure that you're signed in. The editing tools will help you edit pages and add content to the site. First and foremost is the Easy Edit button. By clicking this button, you can edit a page and add or delete content. If you see a lock on the button, it means the page cannot be changed. (See our How to Edit a Page video tutorial for more details.) To the right of the Easy Edit button, you’ll see a selection of tools. The Edit tags link gives you the ability to add and remove search tags from your page. The Email page link makes it easy to send an email to your friends and family to view the page you want to share. And Add a To-Do let’s you make a note of a correction or ask others to complete a task that's required for that page. Under More Tools you’ll find other helpful features such as Watch Page and Add Attachment.  |
| Browsing the wiki The Navigation Menu (area in green box below) is key to browsing and getting to all the different categories on the HP Small & Medium Business Community Wiki. You'll find the Navigation Menu in the top left corner of every page on the site. Simply click on the page name you want to visit. You can also click the arrow to the left of the text (noted by red pointer below) to reveal all the subjects and contributions from other members that are organized in a category. Use the scroll bar (see area by green arrow below) to find more categories and sub-sections. The Add Page link under the Navigation Menu (note by small green box) is your ticket to adding a new page to the site.    |
| At the heart of the matter Each page has a main content section. Below, you see an example from this Community's Home page. The main content section is where you’ll find all the great projects and ideas that inspired you to join the Community Wiki in the first place. See what other members have contributed, and then add your own page where you control what's in the main content area. See our How to Add a Page video tutorial to learn how to add some ideas of your own!  |
Who is sharing ideas and more? The Top Contributors section on the left side of the every page shows pictures of members who are most active on that page. Be sure to upload your photo or a picture to your Member Profile so you can be featured in this section once you start contributing! |
