Creating a page with more visual interest needs the use of some bold and italic formatting, even extending to bold & italic.
Here are 2 photos from our first morning's work at the course.

- Process photos using IrfanView - crop, change brightness and contrast, compress for Internet publication
Some more photos shows our group hard at work, after connectivity problems greatly hampered our access to the Internet for much of the afternoon. The course members are to be admired for their persistence in trying to upload material!

Linking
Here are some links to other pages within WikiEducator
- Learning4Content

- Hiding a dreadful URL behind a user-friendly name for a learning site
Editing Offline
This is to explore offline page editing of pages in WikiEducator using Open Office. Some formatting is likely to be unavailable, perhaps until the next version of Open Office comes into use. Several pieces of formatting are desirable:
- Bold and Italics and Underline
- Larger type fonts
- Different fonts eg Arial, Comic Sans, Handwriting
- Centering
