Reading and first step writing

”I’m ready to try posting.”

Writing on Evolutionary Nexus is easy, it doesn't take much effort to learn. You need to be "logged in", so that the system knows who you are. If you have not registered yet, it's time to do so (new account). If you are registered, just log in. Now you are ready to dive in and join in the conversations!

Adding new comments

Probably the first thing you will want to do is write is a thought, comment, or view on a certain subject, or ask a question in the Conversations - Forums (under Commons). At the bottom of every page there is an “add new comment” button. Clicking on it will bring you to a page with different boxes to fill in. The first one is asking you the title of your comment. and body of your message. You will be asked to choose one of the categories and to add tags to your content. This will help you and others to find back your contribution whenever it's relevant. Then – important – don’t forget to click on “submit”. You will then see your posting. Congratulations!

If you want to change what you have written, simply click on “edit” at the top of the page and you come back to the posting page. Make the changes you want and “submit” again.

Announce something to the site-wide community - Post on the “Nexus Blog”

If you run your mouse over "Commons" on the menu bar, the "Nexus Blog" will appear in a roll-down menu, with "Add a blog post". A new page will open, with the same structure as for Comments. Don’t forget to “submit” at the bottom of the page!
