Mouse over this card's header -- the green part with the name Edit some cards in it -- and you'll see a menu appear. (On some older browsers, it's always there). The first item in the menu, View, is the default tab; clicking it loads or reloads the view. Edit, the next tab, is for editing the card.
On Wagn.org we encourage users to edit boldly. Don't worry -- if something gets messed up, we can restore the old content using the third tab, Changes. Still, we know folks can be shy, so we set up a Sandbox where you can practice. You can click on the arrow to the right of the name to go to the Sandbox card, or just open it up and edit it directly below. Change it as much as you like.
Not feeling the creative spark right now? Just try adding the content (Fuzzy) wuz here, and saving it. Easy, huh?
You'll notice that the Sandbox card has a rich text editor that lets you format text, like by making it bold or italics. That's the default on Wagn, but not all cards have that -- it depends on the card's type. Try editing the following plain text card:
It has a much simpler edit box. Other types have very different editing interfaces. Try editing this image card for example:
There's not an edit box at all there - just an upload prompt.
Images and Plain Text are two examples of built-in cardtypes. Others include phrases, toggles, numbers, and HTML. Each of these types has a different edit interface.
Not all cardtypes are built-in -- users can create other cardtypes right through the interface. We'll talk about how to do that a little later, but right now let's look at an example of one of these user-built cardtypes. The following is an example of the Recipe cardtype.
What do you see when you edit the scrambled eggs card? Lots of different cards nested inside, right? And you may also notice when you edit that several of those nested card have familiar card types. "+Serves" is a Number card, +ingredients is a RichText card, etc. So, in a way, the Recipe card type is built out of all those other card types. Before we get to exploring how all that works, just have a go at editing the scrambled eggs card. Try changing several parts of the card at once -- everybody scrambles eggs differently, right?
Once you've edited those four cards -- Sandbox, Sample Plain Text, Sample Image, and scrambled eggs, you're ready to add some links and new cards -- the next step in your quest to Become a Wagneer!
