__//**Written Help**//__ [|WIKISPACES CHEAT SHEET.pdf]

Mr. Widener has put together help videos on editing pages and adding images, files, links, widgets, tables, and HTML. They are very helpful - follow this LINK.

**OTHER HELP**
 The top bar, called "Editor," allows you to change fonts, colors, and place things in bold, italics, or underline it. You can use a numbered list, a bulleted list, or insert a horizontal line. You can embed links, pictures, videos, or links. Below I will show how to do those things.


 ** In order to add a link... follow the directions. It will be helpful if you have the page you want to link to open as a different window while doing this. **
 * 1) **Type the title ** of the page you want to link to. Highlight that title.
 * 2) Click the icon in the Editor bar at the top that looks like a //chainlink//. This will bring up a box.
 * 3) The second tab in the box says "External Link." Click it so it is active.
 * 4) Go to the page you want to link to, highlight the URL, and copy it into the box that says external link. (If your URL has the prefix http: //already there, you have to delete it because wikispaces adds it for you.//
 * 5) **//Click ADD LINK.//**
 * 6) //In order to check if your link saved, you must save this page and check it there.//

// **In order to add an image... follow the directions. It will be helpful if you have the page you want to link to open as a different window while doing this.** //


 * 1) Find an image you like.
 * 2) Double-click the image to choose the optimal size, then right click, SAVE AS, and save it to your teacher share folder. Name it something you will remember. Leave the tab with the picture open - we will need it in a minute.
 * 3) Click the //Landscape// icon at the top. Click the middle tab "UPLOAD." Browse to your teacher share and choose your photo. This may take a minute. When it does, DOUBLE CLICK IT. It will appear on your page, and just below it, you will see a box that will allow you to align it, add a caption, etc....
 * 4) **WAIT, you're not done yet!**
 * 5) Go back to the photo and right click it. Copy the URL address and take note of the photographer.
 * 6) On your wikipage, ADD a link to give credit.
 * 7) Save your page!
