First, you need to sign up for an account. Only registered users may create or edit content on Centiare. Please use your regular business or Internet Service Provider e-mail address.

After you create your account, a confirmation email will be sent to the e-mail address that you specified. That is why it is important to use only a valid e-mail address. You must click on the link provided in that message in order to activate your Centiare account. This activation is mandatory before you may contribute content to Centiare.
Also, be mindful that the Centiare activation message may get filtered by your e-mail server's spam settings, so be sure to check there.
