Your article
To start writing articles, just create a profile, then click the orange 'Create an article' button.
Then type your article from scratch or paste it from another application.
You can write about any subject related to the construction industry, including:
- Research.
- Publications.
- Organisations.
- Theories.
- Products.
- Practices.
- And just about anything else you can think of.
All we ask is that articles are factual, not promotional. You can include as much promotional material as you like on your profile page, but articles should be neutral, just presenting the facts in an 'encyclopaedic' rather than 'bloggy' style. See our Quick Style Guide for more information.
See Inserting images.

[edit] Use level 1 headings

[edit] Add your profile at the top
To add your profile, make sure you're logged in, then edit your article, move the cursor to the end of the article and click the insert signature button.

Then save the article.
A summary of you profile will appear at the top of your article, linked back to your full profile and to your website - just like it does at the top of this article.
So when people read your article, they will also find out about you.
[edit] Use bullet points
Bulleted or numbered lists help break up text and pull out key pieces of information.
[edit]
You can put a heading at the end of your article called 'Related articles on Designing Buildings Wiki' then a bulleted list of other articles on Designing Buildings Wiki that you think readers might be interested in - for example, other articles you have written.
When you save your article, the list of related articles will automatically appear in a box to the right of your article at the top of the page. (See below and in the box at the top of this page).
You don't have to insert hyperlinks to related articles, this will be done automatically.
Top tip - to find related articles, save your article and see what hyperlinks are automatically inserted into it.
