Categories and user boxes
I took the categories off your user page because we don't normally use categories on personal user, talk, or sandbox pages. I noticed that you left Marilyn Gardner a note about accessing userboxes. Here is a tutorial about them and how to place them. You can look at my user page (go into edit to look at the coding) if you need help.

Also, as far as uploading your photo, all files to be uploaded must be approved. On the right navigation bar, under Toolbox, you will find a link to the form that must be completed when the photo is submitted.

Welcome to the Wiki! We look forward to your contributions.

Thanks, sbirdsong. I appreciate the standardization. A photo is not really necessary so will skip that but the user boxes look like an interesting component. I will go to you page and see if I can figure it out. I did find the tutorial - it's pretty comprehensive. Thanks for sending it along.
