Hi Mary,

Being able to use your email account is definitely the first step.

What happens is that you have an email account which has an "inbox" - basically a list of all the emails that have been sent to you. On Google, the inbox is at https://mail.google.com/ (but your address will be something like Name@gmail.com)

When you make an account here, you type in the address you chose. We send an email to that address, and it shows up in your inbox.

In the email there is a link. Now you need to be careful about clicking links in email, but this one is fine. You click it, and we know that the email address you typed in was correct.

So the steps are:


 * 1) Log in to https://mail.google.com
 * 2)  Look at your inbox, and make sure you know your email address,
 * 3) Create an account on Wikia, typing in that email address carefully,
 * 4) Go back to your inbox,
 * 5) Open the email from Wikia and click on the link
 * 6) Come back to Wikia and enjoy the site!

To use the new account on Wikia, just make sure you are logged in - the link for that is at the top right of any page.

Let me know if you get stuck :)
