Want to understand coding

Totally new and confused :)

Hey,
I just joined, and I know nothing about coding, so I am confused. How do I get the correct pictures on my dragon's page? How to I get to drafts I've made? Pages I've made? Is there a certain rhyme/rhythm/reasoning behind the code that I can learn? Which parts do I take out and replace with my stuff and which do I leave in? Is there an online coding reference I can read that would help me out? Sorry I know that's a lot of questions but I am really lost here. :S

Welcome Nrogara!

Well, the code here is basic wiki-code (in wikidot's implementation, as wiki-code is sadly not very standardized across prlatforms). You can find the full documentation [url=http://www.wikidot.com/doc here] and the Quick Reference here.

However, the best thing to really do is start by creating a breeder's page, and then try and play around until you like the result. :)

To do that, you klick on the "Breeders" menu above, and enter your Scrollname, then click "Create page". That will lead you to a blanko form which you can then extend.
You can leave everything in and just add to it, or create from scratch. This is highly customizable and not standardized at all, so don't worry.

Whenever you want to see how what you have so far looks, click "Preview" or "Save" on the bottom of the page. Don't worry too much - you can always change it and continue to change it, so nothing's ever set in stone. :)

Just play around and see what you come up with. :)
