This is your Talk page where you can receive messages from other Wikipedians and discuss things with them. At the end of your messages you should always enter your signature by signing with four ~~~~ or by pressing the button in the editor shown here in the picture. By the way, it is not necessary to sign edits that you make in the articles themselves as those messages will be deleted. My name is Brendon. If you have any questions or face any initial hurdles, post `{{helpme\|your question}}` on your talk page (this page), someone will quickly come up and attend to your query. And also, feel free to contact me on my talk page and I will do what I can to assist. Good Luck Editing! Brendon ishere 10:42, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Tips on your user page

First thing first,

Do you like your user-page, Chordsman?

If yes, then cool . Ignore the rest of the message.

"Show preview" button highlighted

"Save page" button highlighted

However, if you don't like it and want to make it look even better, then follow these steps (and in that case, I'm happy to help):

Open your your user page.
Click "edit this page"/"edit" (above) to edit the page
Add - {{New user bar}} or {{New user bar|Image name of your choice}} above everything else in the content area of that page (whatever you write below and the Image, if any, will be shown under the section "About me").
click "show preview" (below)
Now, if you like it, click "save page" (below).

Oh and, read the rest if you need. Good luck..

In case you cannot find the buttons

Here are some codes that might help, the codes work on internet explorer and other browsers like Mozilla firefox, google chrome too. If they don't work try clicking "↵ Enter" after pressing the keys of code.

"⇧ Shift+alt+e" - "Edit the page"
"⇧ Shift+alt+p" - "Show Preview"
"⇧ Shift+alt+s" - "save page"

Note:

Mac OS X-users must hold control (in stead of ⇧ Shift+alt), and press the desired access key (e, p or s), I guess.
If these keys don't work by themselves press ↵ Enter after them without changing the order, to initiate the intended process.

I hope this helps. Brendon ishere 10:42, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
