=How to.... wiki page=


 * 1.) Wiki Rules**
 * Create a login name in the format: dcdsB2firstname Write down your password so you will not forget
 * Wiki's can be seen by ANYONE! Do not use your last names anywhere on your pages, just in case! And document all of your sources.
 * Your page names must be clear and include your block and caravan name.
 * You will need to respect and include the honor code on your pages. You should not be copying from books, webpages or someone else's wikispace for this project. Students doing this will face serious consequences.
 * Do not bother another groups pages (we can always check the history to see who has made what changes)
 * Each person must participate in editing the pages (again, the teacher will be checking the history to see who contributed)
 * You must use proper English, not IM or email lingo

> In YOUR wikispace, click on New Page over on the left. Enter the name of your new page. I suggest using the format of "Block Caravan Name Region" (Example: B1 Zulus North Africa). To edit the page you must click on "Edit this page" at the top. The Editor box will appear at the top. > As you make changes make sure to hit Save and take a look at the page and how it looks. You will need to select Edit this Page again to make more changes. A few tips: To indent the text under a heading you put a ">" symbol then a space and the text following that will be indented once you hit Save. Also use Shift + Enter if you just want to go down 1 line instead of 2.
 * 2.) How to add and edit pages**

> First type in the text that is going to be the link. For example you need to create a link from your block page to your North Africa Culture page, so you type in a name such as B1 Zulu North Africa Culture. Then select/highlight the text with your mouse and click on the hyperlink globe icon in the Editor bar at the top. A pop-up box will appear. Type the name of the wikispace if it is not already there (Moellers: tourtheworldwithme Magnan: magnanwikiworld). For the page name, type in the name of the new page you want to create (i.e. B1 Zulu North Africa). If it is a page you already created click on choose an existing page and use the drop down box to find the name of your page; click OK.
 * 3.) How to add a hyperlink**

> First you need to find picture(s) that you want to use on your page. Save the pictures in your My Pictures folder on your computer. Make sure to use an appropriate name and to copy the URL of the page where you found your picture for later use. To add a picture to your page, click on the picture icon (tree button) in the Editor box at the top. A box comes up called Images & Files. Click on the Browse button and find the picture you want to upload to the wikispace. Double click on the picture and press Upload. the picture should now appear on the Images & Files window. Make sure your cursor is in the window where you want to insert it then double click on the picture. Notice there is another window called Image Properties. This is where you control the properties for the selected image/picture. In this window you may select the alignment (right, center, left or none) and you can type in a caption or description of the picture. You SHOULD type in a caption - either a photo name or a URL address in the box. Pictures are not as easy to use on webpages as they are in Microsoft programs. You do not have as many options or as much control as to the placement of your picture. Just do the best you can!
 * 4.) How to add pictures/images**

> Near the top of the page click on the tab "Discussion." Find the subject to which you want to respond, or post a message. Click on it. Write your response in the Message box. Click on post at the bottom. If you want to start a new subject or question, click on the discussion tab and below the discussion list type in the new subject and your message.
