| + | ==Uploading Photos== | ||
| + | In the "toolbox" section on the left panel there is a link to Upload a file. Click it to get to the Upload page. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Under Source file, click Choose File and pick the file you want to upload. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Destination filename will automatically fill in, but you may want to change it to something more memorable, like "Andy Wilhelm Headstone.jpg" or similar. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Next fill in the Summary with a short blurb about the image, then click upload at the bottom. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Once it is uploaded, you'll see the media page for the file you uploaded, and right at the top you'll have the name you gave the file. This name it how you are going to link to it in articles you edit or create. | ||
| + | |||
| + | There are a couple of ways to embed the images you've uploaded. For the first example, here's the link for Clyde's horse that is on the Main Page: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <nowiki>[[image:ClydesHorse.jpg|300px|center|Toy horse made by Lydia Hannah Draper for her grandson Clyde Irving Wilhelm]]</nowiki> | ||
| + | |||
| + | That specifies the image we want to use, how many pixels wide to display it at, the justification, and the text that appears when you hover over it. | ||
| + | |||
| + | On a person's bio page I usually set up a little gallery, and for Clyde I did the same thing, although his horse is the only image in it so far. The gallery is set up a bit different, it looks like this: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <nowiki> | ||
| + | <gallery widths="250px"> | ||
| + | File:ClydesHorse.jpg|Toy horse made by [[Lydia Hannah Draper]] for her grandson [[Clyde Irving Wilhelm]] | ||
| + | </gallery> | ||
| + | </nowiki> | ||
| + | |||
| + | There's a couple of other ways to get your image on a page, but those are the two main ones I use. When in doubt, click "edit" on a couple of pages just to see how they are coded, and check the help page (or contact the Admin...) | ||
