The easiest way to create an entry is to use this form:
* As a page name, please use "FirstName LastName" to fit in with all the other entries.
<createarticle>
* At the beginning of the page,

* Use the subheading
preload=Template:Bios
buttonlabel=Create a New Bio Entry
align=left
default=First Last
</createarticle><section end=Intro />
 
The template for biographical entries is located at: [[Template:Bios]]
 
====How entries are used====
 
Their are a number of directories of individuals on the site.  These are organized with categories.  You can see them listed at [[:Category:P2P Foundation Network]].
 
You can add your biographical entry to any of these categories, or someone might be able to do it for you.
 
To add your entry to any of these networks you simply add the corresponding category at the bottom of your entry.
