AboutUs is designed to make it quite simple to create a page about a business or organization, provided that it has a corresponding domain/website. In fact, you don’t have to do anything but search for the website in our “Find!” bar, and if the page doesn’t exist yet the AboutUsBot will create one for you to edit.

A lesser known fact is that because AboutUs is a wiki, pages don’t have to just be about another site, but can actually be a site of it’s own.

AboutUs can be a great place to give something a web presence in a much easier and economical way than a typical website. We may not be able to do some of the things that a traditional wiki host does, but the advantage with AboutUs lies in our already high visibility, and the fact that we exist to be a guide to businesses and other organizations.

Some examples include: Janoose the Goose, NIAYH, Thompson Homes Ltd., Florist in North Port, Learning Gardens Laboratory, and Valtech1 Home Inspection Services. (Also, some people have chosen to redirect their URLs to their page on AboutUs. See ChaosCafeAndParlor.com and RegulasJoyOfMovement.com as examples.)

There are two easy ways to create a new page on AboutUs. Either go to the URL bar and navigate to http://www.aboutus.org/TheNameOfYourPageHere, and then click “edit this page” or add a FutureLink to a page on AboutUs with the name of the page you want to create like [[TheNameOfYourPageHere]] and then click that link and add your content.
