To complete this requirement, you need to make some individual
pages for this web site.  This describes how to make a single
individual page on the site.

To make a new article page, you need to follow these steps:
 * decide on an article name (if you haven't already)
 * create the link for the page, on the topic page
 * click on the link, to create the page
 * add your information on this topic
 * add images or links to other web sites on your page
 * save the page

Decide on an article name [edit section]

= Decide on an article name =
Decide the title of the article that you want to write about.
This should be a single word or a few words that describe
the sub-topic of the main topic you are writing about.
For example, in the [[Minecraft]] blog area, there is
an individual article on "[[Mobs]]".

Create the link to the article page [edit section]

= Create the link to the article page =
Go to the topic page for your blog, and click on the tab "edit this page"
at the top of the window.

Somewhere in the edit window, you should see a list of current articles,
with each one consisting of a line of text with:
 * a single space
 * an asterisk
 * the article title, surrounded by double-square-brackets

Make a line like that for your article, by indenting one space, typing
an asterisk, the link for your page (the title surrounded by square brackets),
and a description of your topic.

When you are done, click on the "Save" button beneath the edit box.

Click on the article link [edit section]

= Click on the article link =
When the page is saved, your article title should appear in the list, and it
should be clickable.

Click on the link to your article, and the system should show you an
edit window again, with the words:
{{{#!YellowBox
  Could not find page "..."
  You can create the page now by editing the following:
}}}
followed by an empty box.

Add your information [edit section]

= Add your information =
Type your article, blog entry, sub-topic description, etc. into the box.

You may wish to add multiple paragraphs, section headings, text formatting, bullet lists, tables, images, or links to other web sites on your page.
For the merit badge, you are required to add at least one image and
one link to another web site somewhere in your blog site.

You should look at the following pages for help with this:
 * [[Adding sections, bullets, text formatting, and links]]
 * [[Adding an image]]

Save the page [edit section]

Save the page, by clicking on the "Save" button at the bottom of the
edit box.
