[edit] Long Island Wikia

To create a community bulletin board.. please edit this page! Make Long Island Board above an "internal link" (Ab)... and then save, and click on. When the page is opened.. Create it!

== The Long Island Web Network is Vast! ==

The concept of adding Local Long Island Websites.. is a good one. Why not add links that already have information. So far there are a bunch here and they are grouped for easy finding. But there are sooo many Long Island webmasters per capita.. that they MUST be on a seperate page.. So here they are. If yours is missing - Please add it.

== Long Island Towns ? ==

This is front page stuff! A visor should find a town fast!I will start one town. You may start or edit a town. If it is not there.. add it! By highlighting the word, and clicking on the Ab on the edit bar - I am creating a link.. Then save. Then click the link.. and add info! It's that easy. By 2007, Long Island can have yet one more portal.. but this one Wiki-style!

[edit] 'FAQs'

  • Q. I want to list my favorite Chinese restaurant. Town or Database listing?
  • A. Both! Then it can be found by Catagory or by Town!
  • Q. What if I ruin the page?
  • A. The history page saves the last version. It can be recovered!
  • Q. Is it free?
  • A. The content is free to use under the terms of the GFDL and this site is freely hosted by Wikia. The Google ads help cover the server costs!! Google now shows Wikipedia on many of it's first page responses due to the great content being developed by everyone!
  • Q. Is Wikia different than wikipedia.. All these wikis...
  • A. Yes. They are run by separate companies, though involve many of the same people. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It was not suitable for adding links to small commercial stores or sites. They simply did not qualify for notoriety in an encyclopedia. But there was great demand for the ability to link to local interests! The place for that .. is of course Wikia.
  • Q. Wikia doesn't have all the cities listed. Why?
  • A. Because you are one of the early visitors! Just like you have heard of on other websites.. someone got them started.. Now you can help by being creative with a blank page!
  • Q. Should/Could I put up a photograph on the site?
  • A. Can and should! The hope of the founder of the Long Island Wikia is that it will use it's citizens will utilize the considerable natural beauty of Long Island.. to create one of the most special online communities anywhere.

It only takes a pretty picture to get started.
