* Accounts can only be created by emailing [[Michael Meylan]]
*In the new window, click on the ''create an account'' link in the upper right hand corner, or click [[Special:Userlogin|here]].
 
*Use your real name, e.g. John A. Smith (with spaces, underscores aren't allowed for user names), for '''''both''''' your User Name and where it requests your real name. This will make it easier to identify contributions.
 
*To add an image of yourself, or anything else, go the the upload file link which is in the toolbox on the sidebar or [[Special:Upload|here]].  Give your image a unique name and then replace image name from the default image to your image name.
 
*Now you will link your user page to your author page.  To find your user page go to [[Special:Listusers|this list]] of all users and click on your name.  (The link should just be at something like User:John_A.Smith.)  Now put a redirect from the user page to your author page by editing your user page to contain #REDIRECT [[ ''John_A._Smith'' ]] but with your name instead.  This step is not necessary but it makes life simple to have one page per person.
