It looks more complicated than it really is.  To see some of the most handy Infoboxes (which can help you find new friends -- or customers -- on Centiare), take a look at the "sample" User named [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]].  Click the "'''edit'''" tab at the top of his page, then copy and paste his information to either your personal Directory or User space, then replace the information as necessary. Since all fields are optional, you can delete them to suit your preference. However, please note that the semantic tags (those attributes that take the form of <nowiki>"Attribute_Name:="</nowiki>) actually allow other Centiare Users to search and find you by the information '''you choose''' to provide.  (Note: ''those semantic tags will also do wonders for boosting your content on Google search results!'')

Hi Greeting, welcome to MyWikiBiz. We're happy that you've taken the steps to become a member of our site.

Helpful tips

Here are some tips on how to create a Directory listing and take advantage of the semantic web features we have in place:

  • You may write as an opinionated advocate in the Directory -- neutral view is not required. You can sell products, promote videos, upload documents, even host your own Google AdSense ads. This auto-fill form will guide you through creating a very basic directory listing right now.
  • Because MyWikiBiz supports Semantic Web technology, search engine results are highly optimized. Internal searches can also be performed that wouldn't be possible on Google, MySpace, or Wikipedia.

A few favorite pages that might help acquaint a new user with the possibilities are found among the Demonstration links, or in these articles written by independent reviewers.
