 # Create a template for yourself and use it on your user page.  A template is a block of wiki text that you want to use over and over again on various pages.  Instead of having to either re-type that content or even copy-and-paste it multiple times, you can simply put the content on a special Template page.  You then use code to invoke the template on any other page in which you want that text to appear.  There are two steps to creating a Template.
 #* Create your template page like you would create any other new wiki page, but using the prefix ''Template:'' as part of the page name.  For example, your template should be called '''<nowiki>[[Template:username]]</nowiki>'''.
-#* Click on the link and put content on this page that you will want to use over and over again.  At the minimum, you should use it to create a set of navigation links that you will use in each week's journal entry.  Each week as part of your jouranl assignment, you will be asked to create a link to your user page, the assignment page, your journal entry page, and the shared journal page, as well as add the category "Journal Entry" to your page.  If you put these links on your template and then invoke the template on your journal page, this will automatically be taken care of for you.  You may also wish to include any other links that you would find useful.

 #* Once you have added and saved the content to your Template page, you need to '''''use''''' your template on your user page.  To do so, invoke the template by using the following syntax:  {{Template:username}} in the place you wish the content of the template page to appear.  For example, this set of wiki instructions is controlled by the [[Template:Wiki Checklist]], and you can include it in any page by saying: <code><nowiki>{{Wiki Checklist}}</nowiki></code>.  This will "expand" the template to its full contents on the actual page.

 #* '''REMEMBER:  DO NOT SUBMIT COPYRIGHTED WORK WITHOUT PERMISSION!'''  We suggest that you include something professional, such as the Word or PDF version of your paper resume, a scientific paper you have written, etc.
 # Assign one or more categories to your page:  '''<nowiki>[[Category:category name]]</nowiki>''' This creates an automatic "table of contents" for the wiki.  When you click on a category link at the bottom of a page, a new page opens giving you a list of all wiki pages that have been assigned that category.
