Read E2 Quick Start first. Then read E2 Clueless (Newbie) Mistakes To Avoid. Read both of these carefully before writing anything here. Don't leap in and write three lines about something, because it'll be deleted. Then look through the FAQ: you won't take it all in at once, but you'll know where to go for information. You have a scratch pad to experiment with privately: get used to formatting and linking before you make anything public. It is essential to use paragraph breaks <p> and some hard links. After this you can ask an editor: send a /msg to anyone with [ $ ] or [ @ ] against their name in Other Users.
