This is where it all begins. The Homepage. It is designed to give you as much information as possible as soon as you log into Fin City. We will go through the page with you from top to bottom and explain all the different modules you will encounter.
  
<A name=header>Header</A>
 
On the very left you will find the logo of Fin City and on the right hand side you will see the search field. Just above the search field are several links. Which ones they are depends on if you are logged in or not. If you are not logged in they will read "Sign In" and "Join". With the first you log in. If you are not a member yet you can sign up with the second. More Information on how to do that you will find in <A title="New Members Orientation" href="http://www.fin-city.com/wiki/207790" rel=nofollow target="">New Members Orientation</A>. If you are already signed in the links will read "My Account" and "Sign Out". The second leads you to the exit, the first takes you to your Account Page. More Information about <A title="Wiki My Account" href="http://www.fin-city.com/wiki/208492" rel=nofollow target="">My Account</A>.
 
Wiki Module
 
Let's move down from the header to the left hand side. The first module you will encounter there is the "Wiki Module". This is obviously not our whole wiki but a teaser module which will show you the last five wiki articles created or edited. Click on the modules title and it will take you straight to the <A title="Wiki Wiki" href="http://www.fin-city.com/wiki" rel=nofollow target=_blank>Wiki Homepage</A>. For more information on how to use the wiki or (even better) how to create or edit an article got to the <A title="Wiki Wiki" href="http://www.fin-city.com/wiki/207088" rel=nofollow target="">Wiki Manual</A>.
 
The next module down is the "Events Calendar". Again this is only a small part of the real Calendar. It will show you only the actual month. Days with an event are highlighted in rose. A click on them will take you straight to the event. A click on the modules title will let you visit the <A title=Calendar href="http://www.fin-city.com/calendar" rel=nofollow target=_blank>Calendar Homepage</A>. For more information on the Calendar visit the corresponding <A title="Wiki Calendar" href="http://www.fin-city.com/wiki/208459" rel=nofollow target="">Calendar Manual</A> in the wiki.
 
Top Contributors
 
Underneith the Calendar Module you will find the "Top Contributors". Now that is an interesting module! With these <A title="Help Manuals" href="http://www.fin-city.com/wiki/category/14467" rel=nofollow target=_blank>Help Manuals</A> we try and make it as easy as possible for you to actively participate in the Fin City Community and if you do so you shall get recognised. Everytime you contribute something to the community (<A title="Wiki Wiki" href="http://www.fin-city.com/wiki/207088" rel=nofollow target="">creating a wiki article</A>, <A title="Wiki Links" href="http://www.fin-city.com/wiki/207508" rel=nofollow target="">adding a link to the link list</A>, <A title="Wiki Calendar" href="http://www.fin-city.com/wiki/208459" rel=nofollow target="">adding an event to our calendar</A>, etc.) you will get points. The more points you have the higher you will be on the "Top Contributors" list and the more famous you will be inside the community.
 
Share
 
With this little widget you can help us make Fin City the biggest finswimming related community in the internet. A click on "Add This" will open a new window titled "Widget Lab". There you will be able to add the "Share Widget" either to social networks like facebook or to blogs, twitter and many other websites including your own. More Information on how to do that you will find in the wiki under <A title="Wiki Share Widget" href="http://www.fin-city.com/wiki/208489" rel=nofollow target="">Share Widget</A>.
 
Welcome 
 
In the centre row we put the "Welcome Text" on the very top to make it easier for new users to find their way around the site.
 
Blog
 
The module underneith is our Fin City Blog. The <A title="Wiki Fin City Team" href="http://www.fin-city.com/wiki/208270" rel=nofollow target="">Fin City Team</A> will use it to tell you about all the important events inside Fin City. We are constantly working on the website to make it even better for our members. That means that we will add more interesting features in the future. Here we will keep you up-to-date. In this blog you will also find short articles about competitions and championships, results, etc. etc. Everything interesting happening in the finswimmimg world will find its way here.
 
Map
 
The <A title=Map href="http://www.fin-city.com/map" rel=nofollow target=_blank>Map</A> will show you where your fellow members come from. Just like the wiki and the calendar module this is only a teaser module. A click on the title will take you to the real thing. For privacy reasons it is only visible to members, so you must be signed in to see it. Visit the <A title="Wiki Map" href="http://www.fin-city.com/wiki/207094" rel=nofollow target="">Map Manual</A> in our wiki to find out how to use the feature and how to set your "Residence" to show up correctly on the map.
 
My Account
 
In the last row on the right hand side you will find the My Account field first. Click on the button and it will tak you to your very own account page. Underneith is a very small advertising block. This is put there by our host to make his service free of charge.
 
In the teaser module for the <A title=Forum href="http://www.fin-city.com/talks" rel=nofollow target=_blank>Forum</A> below that you can always find the five newest posts written in our finswimming forum by our members. A click on the title takes you to the Forum Homepage while a click on the post title will take you straight to te particular post. You will find more information about how to use the forum and how to write a post in the <A title="Wiki Forum" href="http://www.fin-city.com/wiki/207811" rel=nofollow target="">Forum Manual</A>.
 
<A name=newsfeed>Newsfeed</A>
 
The Newsfeed keeps you up-to-date about what is happening inside Fin City. Every time a member contributes something to the community  (creating a wiki article, adding a link to the link list, adding an event to our calendar, etc.) it will automatically posted here.
