Because not all our readers also read the front door, we'd like to point out the Wired has launched the [Wired How-To Wiki][1] this morning. It's powered by SocialText and all content (including yours, should you decide to contribute) is governed by the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 licence.

As for content, well that's largely your job. We stocked it with a few starter articles though. If you've ever wondered how to back up your [Mac][4] or [PC][5], we've got you covered. Other nice software related entries include [How To Compile Software From Source][2], [Use LinkedIn][3] and [Foil Search Engine Snoops][9].

But the Wired How To Wiki isn't just software and web nerdery, there's other stuff as well, like [Get Off a Government Watch List][6], [Bake A Wii Cake][7], [Turn Your Flickr Crush Into Real Romance][10] or [Snap Killer Candid Photos][11].

And then there's my personal favorite: [How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb][12].

Most of these are just stubs awaiting your input so check out the [editorial guidelines][13] and the head on over and contribute your DIY know-how.
