Just a heads up to all the mods and Clarity I haven't a clue about what I am doing on my Jack Tatum page but I am trying to figure it out as I go along. I know it still needs a lot of work and hell it may have to be scrapped all together but I figured it was a rough start. I've never done anything like this before and so I was using methomps pages as a guide as well as the links that Sushi posted for the cheat sheet. If any of you could please take a look I would greatly appreciate it. I just wondered am I on the right track or am I just screwing it up? Thanks in advance.
Computer stupid,

Great start so far. I only have some minor comments, and maybe others will chime in, too.

- Since someone might want to look for Tatum's page by doing a search for "The Assassin," it is a good idea to make it so that such a search redirects to "Jack Tatum." Otherwise they'll either get a blank page or some search results (a pointless thing since we know where they want to go). To make it so "The Assassin" redirects to "Jack Tatum," I've created a page for "The Assassin" and entered this text:

#REDIRECT  [[Jack Tatum]]

Now, if you search for "The Assassin" it will take you to Tatum's page. If anyone wants to practice making redirects, you can try making ones for "Assassin" (sending it to "Jack Tatum") or "Peter Carroll" (sending it to "Pete Carroll").

- A style suggestion: Since this is BPwiki and intended to be a resource for all things Ohio State, I suggest framing things from an Ohio State perspective. For that reason, I would suggest making a connection between Tatum and Ohio State in the first sentence. You can get an idea of what I mean from the Pete Carroll page (his OSU stint is a relatively small portion of his life story, but it is the main focus of his BPwiki story). You are free to disagree, of course, but I think this is a good idea.

- The code for making a text link is this:

[http://www.website.com/link.html Text Link]

That code will produce this: Text Link. I went ahead and changed the links in Tatum's page.

-The Jack Tatum heading was redundant, so I took it out.

I'll shut up now. Congrats.

Thanks a lot for all the help methomps like I said I have never done anything like this before so I am pretty lost. I just try stuff and fail and keep on trying until I figure it out. Also thanks because I used your page as a guide. Please feel free to change stuff/add comments at anytime I promise I won't take any of this personally. Appreciate all your help and have a good one.
