Introducing Coastsider Insider, where anyone can create and edit pages

Now anyone can create a page on Coastsider. Coastsider Insider is a place where Coastsiders can create and edit web pages about anything they’re interested in.

Insider is a wiki—a Web site that anyone can edit—pretty much like Wikipedia. Anyone with Town Hall posting access on Coastsider can create and edit pages in Insider.

You can keep track of new and changed pages using the Coastsider Insider updates box  on the right side of most pages.

Right now, there’s not much in the Insider, except for a few pages about local government agencies.  But you can make of the Insider what you will. It’s a good place for information about local nonprofits, clubs, sports, recreation, activities, events, and issues. And, like other Coastsider pages, Insider pages should be prominent in Google search results for Coastside-related links.

Insider is unmoderated, but our Terms of Use apply and we will be reviewing pages and changes to make sure that things are kept civil.  You should also read the Frequently Asked Questions section of main page of the Insider.

You should be able to add text right away without any training. And it’s easier to format your text, add photos, or link to other pages than on a regular Web page. Click on the "Edit" link on any Insider page, and take a look at how pages are structured.  You’ll probably catch on pretty quickly.
