= Creating a new page from [[Portal:Visual DataFlex]] = | |||

First open a new browser window with http://dataflex.wiki ( Keep this browser window open to be able to see the instructions as you go along) | |||
# Log in (press the "Login / create account" link in the upper right corner) | |||
# Click on "DataFlex" under Portals (on the left side of the screen. you should see "navigation" and "Portals" under a waterfall icon there) | |||
# Click "edit" ( a tab link on the top of the page ) | |||
#insert <pre> [[Some Link]] </pre> on the bottom of the page under "Requested Articles / Works in progress" (replace "Some Link" with your title) | |||
#Press the "Save Page" button on the bottom of the page (left of "Show Preview") | |||
# Click on "DataFlex" under Portals (on the left side of the screen. you should see "navigation" and "Portals" under a waterfall icon there) | |||
# Click on the [[Some Link]] link you created on the Visual DataFlex portal (remember to change "Some Link" to your title!) | |||
You should now be on your new page. You can now press "edit" and edit the new page . | |||
