'''Welcome to the Baker Institute's McNair Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation!'''
 
  
This page will get you - our newest team member - started on setting up your own account on the Wiki and navigating its content management prowess.
 
 
===User Account===
 
*[[Special:CreateAccount | Create a new acccount]]
 
*[[Special:UserLogin | Login with existing account]]
 
 
===User Page===
 
Every McNair staff maintains his own personal wikipage, detailing administrative information and professional/academic background, alongside a short autobiography.
 
 
Refer to [[Dylan_Dickens | Dylan's Wikipage]] for inspiration. Or refer to the comprehensive [[Categories:McNair_Staff | staff list]].
 
 
Create your own Wikipage by going to [[Form:McNair_Staff]] and filing out the form. On the first page of the form '''use your Full Name with spaces''' (like Ed Egan), not your username. Fill out the fields. For the image, upload one (see "Upload file" in the left Wiki sidebar) and just put the name of the file in the box (e.g. YourPic.jpg). Finally go to your user page (click your username at the top of the page), edit that page and include the following line:
 
<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Full Name]]</nowiki>
 
 
Faculty Members to the McNair Center should also fill out a page. Please use this form [[Form:McNair_Faculty]].
 
 
===Working with the Wiki===
 
At McNair, the Wiki is both home to developed content in the form of an [[Current_Entrepreneurship_and_Innovation_Policies_(Wiki_Page) | independent public Wikipage]], and developing content that will serve a academic paper, issue brief or [[Business_Dynamism_in_High_Tech_(Blog_Post) | blog post]] in the future. It is the research team's main tool for knwoledge sharing, pooling resources, writing and peer-editing.
 
 
To get started,
 
*[[Help:Editing Content | Basic Wiki Markup Guide]]
 
*[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup Complete Wiki Markup Documentation]
 
*[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style Text Layout Philosophy]
 
*[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Writing_better_articles Wiki-appropriate Writing Style]
 
*[[Forms and Templates]]
 
* When in doubt, [[Ed Egan| contact Ed]] or ask a friend!
 
 
You should also be creating pages for identified topic areas and to keep track of your projects. Note that anything falling under projects will automatically secured internally and only available to McNair staff and faculty. If you would like a topic page to be secured internally place it under the Category Internal or Projects. If you try to create a page that already exists the form will redirect you to edit that page.
 
 
*[[Form:McNair_Topic_Areas]]
 
*[[Form:McNair_Projects]]
 
 
===Working with the infrastructure===
 
At McNair, key softwares and hard processing power is made accessible to your personal laptop through the [[Help:Access_RDP_Sever | Remote Desktop Connection]]. Follow link for instructions.
 
 
Good luck!
 
 
===Publishing through McNair Accounts===
 
This is a work in progress by Carlin
 
====Twitter====
 
 
 
 
====Blog====
 
*Find an issue related to entrepreneurship/innovation/McNair/Houston/Texas/whatever interests you that can be covered in ~500 words from the news.
 
*Summarize the issue, adding your own analysis, backing it up with evidence, data, and attempting to keep it casual.
 
*Note: please make sure you present a balanced view (nothing which heavily leans to one side of the political aisle or the other).
 
*After writing your article, send to Anne for review.
 
*Publish!
 
*Questions: how do you actually publish a blog post? should everyone always go through Anne before publishing or can it go through Carlin/Albert? Make it a goal to have content people publish 1 blog post/month? Make sure to use Twitter to publicize blog posts?
