TWiki pages can be edited by all registered users
Click on "Edit" button at top or bottom of any page
- some pages are write-protected, in which case you will receive an error message to that effect
- pages are also write-protected when another user is editing it
  - this prevents confusion when two people are editing the same page, simply wait a while and try again
When finished with your edits, click on "Save" button at bottom of page
- if unhappy with the result, you may hit "Edit" again or simply use "back" button on your browser
Make sure to click "Save" or "Cancel" when you are finished, otherwise the page will be locked for ALL other users

In "Edit" mode, you will not see the calendar layout
Instead, you will see a series of dated entries that are used by the TWiki engine to generate the calendar
Simply make/change an entry for a desired date with the desired user's name
- Please keep the entries in chronological order as setup by NYSBC staff
- If possible, please use the username for individual people, such as yours -- TWikiGuest . This provides an easy link to the users intranet page with contact information
- Finally, please include name of institution in parenthesis for quick reference: e.g., DavidStokes (NYSBC)

In "Edit mode, you will not see the table
Instead, you will see a series of entries separated by "|"
- These "|" function as the column separators and can be placed at arbitrary locations along a given line
- each line represents a row in the column
Enter you name and other information between "|" characters so that they appear in the appropriate columns of the table
- Use the "Preview" button to make sure your changes look as expected

Click on "Show formatting help" at the upper right corner of the "Edit" window
Click on "More formatting help" for a helpful popup window that summarizes all the basics of TWiki syntax (its not very long)
