Getting started is easy!

If you're a Society member, log in. If you're not a member, join up! (Then yes, come back here and log in.)

Find an article to start or edit:

• Here's a list of articles that others have marked as "stubs" -- brief entries that probably need some wiki love. They're short.
• This list is a bunch of articles that have been linked to, but don't yet exist. You could get one of them off the ground. (By the way, these are called "redlinks.")
• Use the search box at the upper left of any page. The "Go" button will look for a page that has your search term as the title; if there isn't one, you'll be presented with a clean page to get started. "Search" will find all the instances of your term among the articles.

The most important thing is to have courage: you know plenty about food, you eat it every day! Share your knowledge. The articles don't have to be long, and they don't have to be complete -- every contribution counts. If you are worried that it's too short, put {{Stub}} at the end of your entry to encourage others to add to it.

But I Don't Know What I'm Doing!

The best way to learn is to try! One of the great strengths of a wiki is that it's always "under construction," and what you write doesn't have to be perfect. We do, however, have some topics that might be helpful:

• Editing an article
• How to cite sources
• In fact, we have a whole page of help pages. It's here.

Remember: have courage! Dive in!
