My bio

[ericcoleman]

Some of you may have been foolish enough to go to my website and read My Bio. It is, of course, a pack of half truths and out and out lies, as all good artist bios should be.

I've written the real thing as a Wikipedia article ...

first ... isn't that just entirely too self centered and vain of me ???

second ... I have no idea how to get it up there ...

This should do it.

actually, I think this link is more specific information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation

Well ... that doesn't really help ... since I don't know how to do all the code stuff ...

I'm a beginner, but have made or edited several pages. The coding is fairly annoying, but not that hard. I still don't know the bells and whistles. In fact, what I usually do is just code it as simply as I can (the icon bar is a great help) and others come along and fix things. Once you get used to how weird the linking is, the formatting is fairly easy. They'd rather have you link to other Wiki articles and reference outside links, but I just make all the links in the main article. There are fancy things you can do, none of which I have even tried, but the simple stuff is fairly straightforward. Just start a page, edit it, and Preview a lot. Make sure you Save at the end...

Just make sure you have a bunch of links about you that are not your website. links to interviews, reviews etc.

It's considered bad form to create the wikipage about yourself.
