1. Learn how HTML, HTTP etc work, if you haven't already. (In particular, HTML forms)
  2. Figure out how your favourite library/framework abstracts it
  3. Ask the user for a page name. If the page does not exist, give him a blank text box to edit
    • When the user submits, save the web page onto the server (into a file or a database)
  4. If the user wishes to edit an already-existing page, give him a text box with the page's content pre-filled
    • Consider storing the previous revision(s) of the page when the user submits an edit
  5. Think about enhancing the syntax with a markup language such as Textile or Markdown.

    6. And that's about it.

    Title:
    Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

  6. Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  7. Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  8. Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
