 * oops, I just made the upgrade after seeing this, Victor. --Nellie Deutsch 00:26, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Nellie Deutsch !!! It saved me going to look for the page Victor P. K. Mensah requested. I feel so proud! :-) :-)


 * Congratulations, Billy! You are doing an incredible job. You may now wish to try resizing images. --Nellie Deutsch 15:30, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the encouragement Nellie Deutsch! What I would really like to do is link the larger ones to a different page. But I think I'll learn how to do that soon. --BillyJ 01:06, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * As you'll see, I now have moved my 'Photogallery' off my user page to where I can have pix as large as I think they deserve! Enjoy :-) :-) --BillyJ 03:23, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * All the following are in your tutorials, but I put them here for you as a kind of learning shortcut. Earlier posts on bottom, later ones on top.


 * Here is another tip. Uploading Pictures. You have a picture on your computer. You want to put it onto a page you are editing. Remember where it is and what it is called on your computer. On your page, in edit mode, you name the file by whatever name you want to call it. Do not use a generic name like "My_picture" or it will get easily mixed up on the WikiEd site. Best is to put your name in the file name you choose. Make sure the extension is one of the many Wiki can handle, like gif, png or jpg.  Put it inside two sets of square brackets. At the beginning, type in the word image followed by a colon followed by your image file name.  Then save and that puts your page  into publishing mode, and you have a web page again. The image file name should appear in red, indicating that it has not been used already. Click on it and a new page will appear that has easy instructions abut uploading the file from your computer. Do it. The image gets its own page. When you see it, go to the bottom of that image page; click on your page name and there it will be.--Phil Bartle 16:18, 29 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Another tip is to borrow from your Wiki neighbours. Browse around other User pages. If there is anything you like, just copy it and paste it in to your user page. Make any modification you need, and there you are. --Phil Bartle 03:15, 28 July 2009 (UTC)


 * If you have not seen it yet, I recommend that you look at the youtube video clip on Wikis. In WikiEd, as in the video, the most important buttons are edit and save. A third button, Link, is not quite the same on WikiEd.  To make a sub page, in edit mode, you simply give it a name. put forward slashes around it, then two square brackets in front and after the result. When you save, the word will be in red. Click on it and it will tell you there is no such page. As soon as you start editing, the sub page is created. --Phil Bartle 03:05, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
