# '''Add your knowledge to Hitchwiki'''. Just click edit (even [http://hitchwiki.org/en/index.php?title=Hitchwiki:How_to_participate&action=edit on this page]!) or [[project:Add a new page|create a new page]]. Don't worry about formatting or layout. There are a lot of keen eyes watching around and fixing stuff.
# '''Create an account''' and [[:Category:Hitchhikers|describe]] yourself and your hitchhiking activitity - and edit articles while you're logged in.
# '''[[Special:Upload|Upload]] [[Template:PotM|pictures]]'''- or add pictures from [http://commons.wikimedia.org/ Wikimedia Commons].
# '''Improve the spelling''', fix typos.
# '''Spread the word''' - Hitchwiki helped you on your hitchhiking trips, other hitchhikers might not be aware of the project yet - or people might even have [[First time|never hitchhiked before]] and Hitchwiki can help them get on the road.
#* Mention Hitchwiki when you get interviewed as a hitchhiker.
# [[Hitchwiki_talk:Community_Portal|Discuss ideas, propose suggestions for improvements]]
==Adding Pictures==
===Your own pictures===
Two options:
* You can [[Special:Upload|upload pictures at hitchwiki]] or you can
* Upload [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Upload upload your pictures at Wikimedia Commons]
Uploading at Wikimedia Commons is preferred since it saves Hitchwiki bandwidth and the pictures can also be used on the many projects that are part of Wikimedia, such as Wikipedia and Wiktionary.
===From [http://commons.wikimedia.org/ Wikimedia Commons]===
We prefer to have pictures that are somehow related to hitchhiking but it's nicer to have some picture than none.
