If you follow a simple sytem you can easily have everything in one place and referencable.

## Setup and Publishing

2. On the blank new page first create the `tags` by using six hashtags and then the word tags, and then a colon, and then a space, then between ticks place the tags. Separate the tags with a space.

3. Create an h1 tag for the title, this will also serve as the title displayed in the main menu. The h1 through h6 tags are represented by hashtags `#` in markdown syntax. This is a [useful markdown cheatsheet](https://www.markdownguide.org/cheat-sheet).

4. Click the share button at the top right to set the view settings and publish. These should be your settings while editing:
