</div>

*Why? Having two windows opened makes it easy to switch between this "Task" page and the county page.

**Tip: Sign in to the Wiki first, and you will be signed in for both windows.

*To open a new window:  

**Right-click '''Project page''' (located below the dark "Learn More" button in the shaded area at the right).  

**Select '''Open in new window''' from the options

Once you have two windows opened, switch back and forth between them by holding the '''Alt''' key down and pressing the '''Tab''' key (Alt+Tab). Neet trick.
