User talk:Gardeningtips

Welcome message
Hello, and welcome to Wikibooks!

Here are some tips to help you get started:
 * To learn the wiki-markup-language syntax, see Help:Editing.
 * Make sure to sign your posts and comments with four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;
 * There is a box at the top of the edit window (if javascript is enabled on your browser) that will insert it too (looks like part of a signature). This will let others know who left it, and make it easy to reply back to you.
 * Remember to conduct any editing experiments in the sandbox (global to the system) or in a page on your own userspace.
 * Remember to use Commons project for image uploading.
 * You can tell the community something about yourself in your userpage.
 * You can get to this page by clicking the tab at the top of the page labeled with your registered username.
 * Wikibooks are open-source textbooks. (What is Wikibooks).
 * If you are a Wikipedian, see Wikibooks for Wikipedians for a primer on how things work here (it's a little different).
 * If you want to base your work here on materials from Wikipedia, please use WB:RFI.
 * If you're an instructor and plan on using Wikibooks for a class project, see Guidelines for class projects
 * Please say hello at the Reading Room with any questions or ideas.
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Help us by participating in policy and guideline creation.
 * Please take a look at Naming policy before starting a new book.
 * Remember to keep a Neutral point of view.
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and have fun!

You will find more resources in Community Portal. If you have questions, visit the Study help desk, the Reading Room, IRC channel or ask me personally on my talk page. For site news, see the Bulletin board. It might be a good idea to add that page to your "watchlist" so that you can see when any new information is posted there. You can do that by clicking the tab labeled "watch" at the top of the page.

(This is not an automated message, I'll be watching during a time for any reply you make to it...)

Good luck! --Panic (talk) 12:24, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Gardening Tips
Rather than create 15 different books about gardening, it would be better to create one with multiple chapters. Better yet would be to add content to an existing book, such as Horticulture. If you need help with this, let me know. It will require moving pages, which you may not yet have privileges to do (I think that capability becomes available four days after account creation). Let me know if you need help. Also, take a peek at Using Wikibooks for more tips on structuring content. --Jomegat (talk) 12:28, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Naming
You are not creating pages correctly. Please read Naming policy on how to structure a book. – Adrignola talk contribs 12:31, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice (trying out wikibooks for the first time). I wasn't sure how to create multiple chapters -

- do I really 'reply' simply by clicking 'edit thsi page'?
 * Yes. Also, the easiest way to link to chapter names is with a leading slash.  A trailing slash will suppress the display of the parent module.  Like this: /chapter/ .  You can also specifically set the display name like this: My chapter . --Jomegat (talk) 12:36, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

I have to get back to work (the 'dayjob' right now) - lunchtime finished. I'll read up a bit more tonight. Ta.
