====Experiment in your 'User_talk:' pages====

For tentative work, you can try things out of the 'limelight' on your 'User_talk:' page and subpages:

# Click on the 'talk' link next to your user name at the top right of any page,

# Enter content there, or

# Click in the address bar of your browser, and add '/<new subpage name>' to the end of the address string that's already in your address bar. For example,

#:<tt><nowiki>http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/User_talk:[UserName]</nowiki></tt>

#:: becomes

#: <tt><nowiki>http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/User_talk:[UserName]/<new subpage name></nowiki></tt>

# Then press the <Enter> keyboard key and you will be presented with a pending new page that offers an 'edit this page' link at the end of the line:<br><tt>There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, search the related logs, or edit this page.</tt>

# Click this link or the 'create' tab button and you will be presented with an empty page to edit.

# Proceed with entering information in the main entry box

# Click the [Show preview] button to review your pending page

# Click the [Save page] button to save the page

# Continue to Edit, Preview, & Save as needed to complete your contribution.

If the version of SoaS is shown as an existing subpage, you may go to that page and enter a new section within the page. A new section title is created when you enter some text between a pair of matching double equal signs, such as, ==~~NEW SECTION HEADER~~==.
