Ever wonder how to make italic words? The trick is to put two single quotation marks on either side of a word, sentence or paragraph. So ''this'' would look like this ! It's one way to make words stick out on wikiHow!

Life Outside wikiHow
Hi there! I'm currently a student taking the IBDP. Being a student, I won't be on wikiHow often. Do feel free to post a message, it's just that I might not be able to get back immediately.
Subjects I'm Taking
In the IBDP, one gets to choose six subjects to study from - three at a higher level (HL) and three at a standard level (SL). I chose to take Mathematics HL, Physics HL, English A Language & Literature HL, Chinese SL, Economics SL, and Music SL.
I might have opted for Further Mathematics or Computer Science but unfortunately (fortunately!) they weren't offered in my school. Choosing one of those would also mean replacing Music or Physics, something which I'm reluctant to do. Naturally, I'm hoping that I could bounce some of the knowledge I gain at school into wikiHow.
Besides School
- Programming. Fun, fun stuff. I kicked off my programming side by taking KhanAcademy's hour of code. Since then, I've taught myself C++, Python, and Bash from online tutorials. I've used my new found skills to help my school develop an embedded system. Currently, I'm learning Haskell (more fun stuff!) and I'm liking it. I'm also making some games. Look forward to seeing them up here. :-)
- Reading. Just sticking a nose in a book suffices to forget any bad memories I may have. Currently I'm reading Bernard Cornwell's *the Grail Quest* series. It's fairly action packed.
- Minesweeper. Also (for me, at least) a decent way to take my mind off my troubles. (I haven't played minesweeper for 2 years now but I shall never forget those moments of seeing a smiley face...)
Meet a Community Member
Meet Butterfly, a wikiHowian who enjoys patrolling recent changes, categorising articles, welcoming new users and exploring activities on the Community Dashboard.
Why they contribute to wikiHow:
"wikiHow is such a great community. From the very second I was sent a welcome message to my first contributions, I felt welcomed. It’s really simple to understand for beginners, making it really enjoyable when you’re starting off. People are always kind, warm and helpful here, which is why it makes wikiHowing a highlight of my day. The community is spreading magic every moment and I’m so glad to be part of this. We’re planting one seed of knowledge at a time."
Their advice to new editors:
"wikiHow is all for collaboration! Your edits build upon other users’ edits, and your edits will continue to be built on by other contributors. Don’t forget to start slow and start small! You may be in a hurry to get an article published or get a lot of messages, but that isn’t necessary. Start by doing little yet helpful activities like spellchecking, categorising articles, and trying out the activities on the Community Dashboard. Every little contribution makes a difference! Finally, don’t be afraid to ask someone for help. We’re all volunteers and will be over-the-moon excited to help you out. Just choose a friendly face from the crowd and ask away!"
