Profiles+Fall2014

To create your individual profile page, please follow the instructions below:

Adams, John @Richmond, Farley

To accomplish this task add your name IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER, PLEASE and link it to a separate page from this page, just as I've done above. To accomplish this please: 1. click the Edit button above and to the right. 2. Once the Editor pops up I suggest that you go to the little down arrow next to Save button and open the Wikitext editor, that way you can easily add your name in alphabetical order without risking a tie in with the name of someone else. Note that you must type two brackets and an "at" sign before your name and two brackets after your name.

3. Once you've added your name (last name first, please) then click the Save button. 4. Note that when you save you need to create a link to your own page. So click your name which is highlighted, as that of Adams, Samuel is above. This takes you to an unedited page. Next you click the Edit button once again and open Wikitext Editor again. 5. Add the marks before and after your name that are like those before and after my name.Then Click save. 6. After saving your name click on it to see that you will get into a page that asks that you edit it. Click the edit button to add information. 7. Then your profile page that you are about to edit should be typed or pasted on the page. BE sure the size of the type is Normal. Then you may add a photo and typed material about yourself under the photo.

To add photos (ie. jpgs), on the Editor bar above you will see a little greenish button which says File. Click that button and click the Upload Files button on the upper right. This will allow you to upload digital pictures which you have cleverly put somewhere on your computer, possibly on your computers desktop (or perhaps in a file on your computer). Once you find a picture to upload Wikispaces will do so (unless the photo is too large to upload). To upload the photo simply double click the uploaded picture and it will appear wherever your cursor happened to be on your page.

To make the picture larger or smaller click the plus or minus button on the little box below or to the side of the picture. If you want to add a caption click and start typing in the box at the bottom of the screen. Be sure to close the little box when you are done.

To see what that will look like click SAVE on the Editor Bar and take a look at the page. If you don't want the picture or don't want it where it appears, when you go to the edit mode simply place your cursor to the right of the picture and delete or click backspace. The picture will disappear but it is still located on this site under the file button. You may have to search for it in the files, page by page. Again double click the picture and it will appear on your page where the cursor was when you clicked on it after the edit button.

You should preview your work to see what it looks like and/or save it at any time. You can also cancel what you are doing and everything will look like it did at the beginning of this session.

NOTE: You cannot edit unless you have logged in! I've made the mistake of trying to do this more than once.

I suggest that you stay logged in, once you have done so. That way you don't have to login every time you come to the site. Just type wikispaces.com and go back to your wiki account.
