Laurie, you still have to complete your registration to become a member of WikiTree. The first thing you need to do is create research tags indicating surnames and/or locations that you are researching. Click here for more information about Tags. Then you will see on your profile page a bar that says "add tags and volunteer." When you click that bar one of our Greeters will see that you have volunteered and will confirm you as a Family Member. You may then begin to add your family tree. If you wish to become a full member of WikiTree and receive your Genealogist badge, then you need to sign the Honor code.
If you need any help, please get in touch with me by clicking on my name.
There are mentors to help walk you through the process. It looks as though you have a guest membership at the moment. I believe the next step would be to sign the honor code and then volunteer. There is a link on your profile page. Just click on your name in the above question and it will take you to your profile page. There you should be able to find the link to volunteer. Here is more information from the help menu at the top of every page. Take deep breaths, we were all new at least once.

If you have any more questions at any time, just ask.
Perhaps we should re-write the help file:
After creating a Guest Membership you'll want to read our Honor Code. This Honor Code is a promise that members make to each other. It's the foundation of our community.
If you agree with the Honor Code, we would love to have your help growing The Free Family Tree as a Wiki Genealogist. The next step after registering as a Guest Member is to volunteer to help grow the tree.
After you volunteer your account will be confirmed by one of our Greeters and you'll be invited to officially sign the Honor Code.
I just re-read the link you provided and I think it provides accurate informaton for becoming a full member. Nearly the last line on that page reads:
"A Guest Member can become a Wiki Genealogist if they volunteer to help grow The Free Family Tree and a current Wiki Genealogist (usually a Greeter) confirms them. This gives them a Family Member account which is then converted to a Wiki Genealogist account as soon as they sign the Honor Code."
