Please post your questions here on how to do something and someone will answer them. You can also browse the How To page, which sends you to Wetpaint Central for complete instructions on anything you might like to do with this site.

Question: How do I make an additional page?
Answer: I THINK anyone can make a page (let me know if I am wrong--that privilege may just belong to me for some reason). Look to the right-hand side of the page, and you will see a Page Toolbox. At the bottom of that toolbox is a button to "Add a new page." By default the page will be created at the bottom of the navigation menu. If you want to move it, use the Manage Page pull-down menu (at the bottom of the Page Toolbox).

Question: How do I post an image on a page?
Answer: First off, don't just post any image you find, as it may be copyrighted and we don't want to get in trouble. The easiest way to find an image that is freely available for use is to search using Mayflower, which is a search engine for Wikimedia (the site that hosts all the images used in Wikipedia). Once you find an image that you know you can use, then right click on it and save it to your computer. Then, go to the page you want to put it on, click "Easy Edit" and put your cursor where you want the image, then click the image button on the floating tool bar (the one that appeared after you clicked "easy edit"). Browse to where the image is saved, and upload it. You have options for the position and size of the image. I followed my instructions and added this interesting 1943 painting about an Australian nursing ship that was attacked by the Japanese during WWII. Feel free to practice adding your own image, either here or on your profile page.




My question: I put in the notes on chapter 3 the study on aging. How did you make that whole article available with a simple click "interesting article"?
Answer: What I did was find where the article was, and then I copied the URL. I could have just pasted the URL in directly, like this interesting video from the BBC about the human body: http://www.betterhumans.com/blogs/videos/archive/2007/09/03/Human-Body_3A00_-Life-Story.aspx

But that is long and complicated. So, instead, I can highlight whatever text I want to make into a link, then click on the "link" button in the editing box (it looks like a chain), and paste the URL there instead. Here is the same link. (and I didn't even have to change the color of the text--it does that automatically

Also, how do you embed a video?

Answer: This is trickier. On the editing toolbar there is a "widget" button. When you click on that you can select the source of the video (You Tube, Google Video, etc). You then can paste either the URL or the "embed" HTML command. So, here is that same video that I linked to above, embedded onto this page:



Q: How do I add a page so that it is not a subunit page of chapter 10? I was trying to add chapter 11 and it keeps coming up as a sub of chapter 10.

A: You add it from the Test 3 Chapters page, or you add it from wherever and then move it as an option from "More Tools," "Manage this page." This feature may not be available to everyone, so you might have to ask an administrator to move the page.
