**Search:** Type a search topic word or phrase in the search box on the left side of the screen. If you type a phrase in quotes, such as "//ESE policies//", then the search will only pull up pages with those two words used together as a phrase. Without the quotes you would get pages with //ESE policies//, along with pages with //ESE,// and pages with //policies.// You can also use a + or - sign to adjust your search. If you search on //ESE+policies// then you will get pages that have the words //ESE// and //policies// on the page, though the words may not be together in a phrase. If you search on //ESE-policies// then you will get pages that have //ESE// but do not have //policies// on the page. **Adding Pages:** To add a new page click on the //New Page// link on the left of the screen. You will be asked for a name or title of the new page. Keep the names of your pages simple; using only letters and numbers. You can use spaces but I would recommend using the underline "_" between words. Type the name of the page then click on //Create//. If you are in a browser that supports Java then the visual editor will open up and you will see a tool bar for changing font characteristics, numbering or bulleting, adding a horizontal line, making or removing links, uploading images and files (10mb limit on file size), embedding media, adding tables (the tables don't work, avoid using tables), and inserting special characters. You can now type information into your page and upload presentations or other types of files to share with others. At the bottom of each page is an area where you can add tags to help in the search process. Tags are just search keywords/phrases. And please sign your name on each page you create so everyone will know who submitted various resources and information. **Editing Pages:** Most of the pages will be unlocked. You should see an //Edit This Page// button in the upper right area. When you click on that button the page will open up in the visual editor and you can make changes as if you were adding a page. Again, if you add information to a page someone else started, please sign your name so we know who made the changes.
 * Directions for** **how to use this space:** There are three basic skills needed to using this site; searching, adding pages, and editing pages.

Each page has its’ own discussion section; the tab is at the top of the page. There is a history tab where you can see if pages have been changed and what the earlier pages looked like.
