Here are things that new users will want to do:

1. Edit your profile! Go to [cnmat:user|My account] and check to make sure your information is up to date.

This page documents terminology conventions used in documentation describing the website, with a special focus on disambiguation of technical terminology.

"Create bibliography" means "create bibliography node" or "create bibliography entry" or "create publication" --- it doesn't create a new list of publications, but adds a single new publication to this website's database.

1. Terminology: "Taxonomy" and "Vocabulary" mean the same thing -- a collection of terms used for tagging nodes. Similarly, "Term", "Tag", and "Category" are synonyms, and "to tag" and "to categorize" mean the same action. Drupal sometimes uses these terms interchangeably, which could erroneously cause one to believe they refer to different features. In fact, they are all the same.

A consistent use of style across the site is essential for the maintenance of a professional organizational identity and to establish a uniform user interface that supports efficiency of use and concise text. This document focuses on the most important rules to ensure these goals.
