Biography
The biography feature is used as a tool to summarise a person's life story. A good biography will focus on a person's military history while also including details of their early life, and if they returned home, highlights of their life after service. Again, a biography should be a summary, so if there is extensive research on a person to be uploaded, it may be more practical to present it in a different format (collating the research on a PDF document and uploading it as a 'Document' for example).
Also please write in 'Sentence Case'. This is a capitalisation style in which only the first word of a sentence and proper nouns are capitalised, with the rest of the words in lowercase.
1. When editing the ‘Biography’ page, click the red button labelled ‘Add a Biography’.
2. You will then be presented with a text box where you can enter a biography. Please note, if you copy and paste text from a Word document, the formatting may not carry across into the text box. Text may need to be re-formatted by using the tools above the text box. Where possible, avoid dot-points and the retelling of information already displayed in an individual’s profile. Aim to tell a story by including information besides basic details.
3. When you have finished working, click the red button labelled ‘Save’ to complete your work.
