Guide to using conferences at The WELL: Getting started

Conversation at The WELL continues over time. You read and respond in forums called conferences at your convenience. When you check back, you can track all the activity since your visit.

Topics are organized within conferences such as "books," "berkeley" or "current events." Conference hosts are there to assist participants.

Follow the table of contents to the right for detailed help.

Note the Shortcut page, which provides two kinds of shortcuts, for use in the shortcut box in the navigation bar, and for keystroke commands you can use to move around the site.

You can see this guide at any time by selecting the "Help?" icon in the Toolbar when you are logged in.
