To create an account, click '''sign in'''. The '''sign''' '''in''' feature is found on all Wiki pages on the upper right corner. When the screen comes up to sign in, click the link to register a new account. Create your account and log in. After you have created your User ID and password, you can click the box that allows you to remain signed in for two weeks.  This feature is activated when you click "sign in" on the upper right corner of the page. The two week feature is particularly useful for Wiki users who go in and out of Wiki throughout the day or week. It is also very useful to keep a small notebook to keep your passwords handy.  You may find that you need a reminder of your password if you are not active every day on the wiki.
