Introduction
|
Atkinspedia is sponsored by Atkins All The Way. Feel free to create an account and begin editing and adding articles at will. Only registered users can edit articles. This avoids anonymous vandals that disrupt our progress. You can't break Atkinspedia so don't worry about destroying the site. Where you see the word edit, you can click it and begin writing or edit someone elses text. The plan is to work as a team of editors.
Also, if you see a red link, it means that an article hasn't been written for that subject yet. You can click on it and begin writing away. To remain credible though, we must remain neutral in our point of view (NPOV). This NPOV will help people make up their own minds when reading Atkinspedia and it won't be read as propaganda for Atkins Nutritional Approach.
For more information on how to use Atkinspedia see Help:Contents. The help section has some empty spots because it is not yet finished, but its' enough to get you started. Have fun and remember to be bold and make changes because you can't break it you can only make it stronger. It's the indestructable encyclopedia.
Those that are familiar to Wiki software that powers sites like Wikipedia, can jump right in. Those that are less familiar with "Wiki-Code" may need to search around and just edit text as you see it. Remember, if you can't make an article pretty, it's okay. Someone else will be along to make it look great. Atkinspedia won't be built in a day.
Please understand: Anything you write here is licensed by the GFDL license. Meaning it can be reproduced at length but must be referred back to us.

Did You Know?
|
| Did you know that you can format your User page to let everyone know more about you? Granted, your User Page shouldn't be used as a blog or personal Website, you can give people a bio and let them know what you are working on. It also gives people a chance to get ideas for themselves. Do you even know what your User Page is? Well, that's simple; It's what you link to when you click your name in the upper right corner of the screen and what people see when they click on your name anywhere on Atkinspedia. If you have any questions about what to do on your User Page, take a few minutes to read this page outlining User Pages. Also, check out some other users to get a feel for everything you can do.

What is Atkinspedia?
|
|
Simply put, Atkinspedia is an encyclopedia/knowledge base that anyone can edit, even you. The long definition is much more complex. Atkinspedia is an ongoing project to educate the masses on the Atkins Nutritional Approach and health as a whole. You can find information on the OWL Carb Ladder, and exercising with the exercise ball, to your favorite recipe for meatloaf and diabetes. All of this information will be interconnected and easy to find when you need it most; All the time.
