Colleagues,

That's a great idea, Janet, to use the ALE Wiki, since there is  
already an area you have set up there on Katrina.

For those who have not added information to the ALE Wiki, its easy.   
Here's what you do:

1. Go to  http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php/ 
AleFamilyLiteracyKatrina and in the upper right corner, sign in (or  
log in and create a free account if you haven't yet)
2. Return to the LiteracyKatrina page, decide where you want to add  
your text, and select the "edit" tab at the top of the page.
3. In the edit widow, add (or paste in) your text. If you get in in  
the wrong place, don't worry.  Janet or I will fix it.
4. Select  "Show Preview" at the bottom of the page.  If you like  
what you wrote, selct "Save page".  If not, make the changes in the  
edit window, show preview again until you are satisfied, then select  
Save page.
5. If you want more help in editing go to http:// 
wiki.literacytent.org/index.php/Directions
