Reading and first step writing
”I’m ready to try some postings, still new, but I will do it.”

Writing is really easy, everyone can learn to do it without much effort. It is more a matter of getting used to the ‘environment’, like when you first tried to send out your email.

Adding new comments
Probably the first thing you want to write is your thought, your comment, your view on a certain subject or ask a question. Easy!
- On every page you read you can find at the bottom “add new comment”, click on it and you only need to fill in a title and your test in the “body”; then – important – don’t forget to click on “submit”! You will see your posting! Congratulations!
- You want to do some editing? No problem: click on “edit” at the top of the page and you come back to the posting-page; make the improvements and “submit” again.
- One thing to learn: “adding new comment” is different from “reply”. The latter is only for little notes, sometimes only to the writer of the page. You can see while reading in the forums that comments line up to the left side, and that replies move more to the right.

Announce something to the whole community
You best use the “Evolutionary Salon Blog” for this. Click on it in the Navigation Menu and fill in title and the text; don’t bother about all the other things! If need be, you can learn about it later, you don’t need to use it now. Don’t forget to “submit” at the bottom of the page!
