  • Click on a link to go to the page you wish to edit.
  • Click on the "edit" tab to edit a page (if the page hasn't yet been created, it will come up it edit mode.)
  • Click on a section head "edit" link to edit a particular section (if sections have been defined)
  • Type text freely...
  • ...indicating bold and italics with double ('') and triple (''') single quote marks, respectively.
  • Or highlight some text and click the bold or italics buttons in the row of editing buttons above the edit box
  • Make a new paragraph by leaving a blank line
  • Insert a thumbnail link to a media file using this syntax: [[Image:Example.jpg]]
  • Insert a thumbnail link to a media file with alternative mouse-over text using this syntax: [[Image:Example.jpg | text]].
  • Insert the media file directly into the page using this syntax: [[Media:Example.jpg]]
  • Another way: just type the filename, highlight the text, and click the media file link button or embedded image button, as appropriate.
  • Save your changes with "Save page" at the bottom
  • Now, click on media links and you'll be prompted to upload the files with the right names
  • Test the page again. Double-click thumbnail links to see the full image.
  • Warning: don't insert huge embedded images or the page will take forever to load...
  • Follow the same procedures for audio and video files.
  • You can also link to any www page using this syntax (just insert the full URL followed by link text, and enclose the whole thing in square brackets): [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kokrobite Here's the Wikipedia article for Kokrobite]
  • I suggest we create collective pages for each "experience", editing each other's texts and allowing a collaborative result to emerge

Examples:

(note: edit this page to see how these examples have been done. Don't make and save changes though!)


Example of embedded image: View from Fort Usher, Jamestown, Accra.jpg

Example of thumbnail link: Media:View from Fort Usher, Jamestown, Accra.jpg

Example of thumbnail link with alternative text: Example of thumbnail link with alternative mouse-over text

Example of audio file: Media:Mudoc.mp3

Example of external link: Here's the Wikipedia article for Kokrobite
