User talk:ITNAresearch

How does my User Page work?
help me I am confused about my user page. I am trying to create a new article about ITNAmerica, a non-profit started in Portland, ME, and I am trying to edit it here as I work on it. Can I post it on my user page and Save without it being viewed and edited right away? I am still working on it, and am unsure if I post it on my user page if it becomes public domain then. I would like to be able to continuously write it on here as I go, and experiment with formatting as I go, without editors starting on it before I want to submit. I saw the links to Subpages and Sandbox, but I am confused as to how to use them, as the links just kept bringing me to either my user page or the definitions of those pages.

 * Hi ITNAresearch. If you post it on your userpage, it will become public from the moment you save it.  All you would do to use a sandbox, is make a page here: User:ITNAresearch/sandbox and work in there until you are ready to publish it.  I would advise you to also consider changing your username, since it appears that it could be classed as promotional, considering the article you're making.  See here for information. Best regards, don't hesitate to get in touch if you need further help.  Barking  Fish  16:24, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
