Step One

Login. If you do not have a login, you may +request one from staff.

Go to our recent logs page, and scroll to the bottom. There should be "Edit" in red text near where you'll want to list your log.

Click "Edit." This should transfer you to the editing screen, where you will see a lot of text. Schloop on down near the bottom.

Add the name of your log to the end of the list, following what other people have done.

Save your changes. This reloads the page, and you will see your log name near the bottom. Your log name will be in red.

Click on your log name (which is now in red).

Step Three

Paste your log! Be sure and add [[Category:Logs]] at the bottom. (You can also use the dropdown menu to add categories).

If you are posting a PrP, you can use a template.

If you are having trouble with wiki formatting, see the magic links, below, for automagic options.
