   If you don't already exist, you just need to click on the [edit] link at the   
   top of the appropriate page and add it ...   
      
   Basically, on the front page, you will see:   
      
    The Brats 	 A 	 B 	 C 	 D 	 E to M 	 N to Z   
      
   I'm slowly breaking down the '# to #' sections as I transfer over from the   
   old database, but its very slow and manual work ...   
      
   So, click on the sub-list that matches your 'Birth / Maiden Name' (in my   
   case, 'E to M' as my last name starts with an F) ... then, on that page,   
   if you don't already exist, click the 'edit' link at the top of the page, and   
   add a line that looks simply like:   
      
    [[Lastname, Firstname]]   
      
   And click the Save button at the bottom of the page ... you've now been   
   added.   
      
   If you then click on your name, it will automatically bring you to an edit   
   page for your specific information ... cut-n-paste the following text into   
   that section:   
      
   {{PersonalInfo   
   | name =   
   | birth_name =   
   | nicknames =   
   | email =   
   | website =   
   | image =   
   | birth_date = {{birth date and age|year|month|day}}   
   | birth_place =   
   | siblings =   
   | parents =   
   | children =   
   | spouse =   
   | partner =   
   | service =   
   }}   
      
      
   == Bases Posted To ==   
      
   == School Attended ==   
      
   == Friends Thru The Years ==   
      
      
   The above is the format that I'm trying to keep to with all of the entries,   
   to keep them similar ... the 'PersonalInfo' section at the start is all   
   *optional* ... fill it all in, fill none of it in, your choice ...   
      
   For the 'Bases Posted To' section, what you want to do is create links to   
   the Bases Page (see Main Page -> The Bases for a list of those we know of   
   so far) ... and that is simple to do ... if, for instance, you were posted   
   to CFB Shearwater, add a line like:   
      
    From Date to To Date - [[CFB Shearwater]]   
      
   The [[text]] tells the system to link that text to another page within the   
   site ...   
      
   And, of course, the 'Friends Thru The Years' is meant to allow you to link   
   to another person's entry ... the easiest way to do this is to go to their   
   entry first, cut-n-paste their 'Last, First' at the top of the entry and   
   then edit yours and add it: [[Last, First]] ...   
      
   You cannot make a mistake ... I have it setup so that any changes to any   
   pages on the site, I see it, so if something looks off, I can easily go in   
   and fix it ...   
      
   It *looks* weird, but once you've created a couple of links, its surprising   
   how simple, yet powerful, it can be ... its especially neat watching the   
   Base Postings grow ... check out CFB Borden in the early '70s:   
      
         http://www.milbrats.net/member_wiki/index.php/CFB_Borden   
      
   Using this software, we're able to much more easily group ppl both by   
   time, and by place, making it much easier to find old friends ...
