Meet Laura, a wikiHowian from Ohio who has been on the site over 3 years. She has started 88 articles, many of which have been chosen as Rising Stars, and she has made over 9,900 edits on the site. She is a Featured Author, and her favorite ways to help out are patrolling recent changes and formatting articles. The first article she worked on for wikiHow was How to Create a Signature With Pictures in Outlook Express in Windows Vista, but her favorite articles to work on have been those related to caring for people with dementia and to parenting teens, for which she’s used her own experiences as a guide. She loves how the people in the wikiHow community jump to help each other with edits and problems. Her advice to new contributors is to take your time to get to know all the tools and to invest your energy and heart into writing well-researched, quality how-tos.
