How+to+make+and+edit+my+OWN+wiki+space

A great deal of the course work you are expected to do for class involves posting information on this site. As a result, it is very important that you gain a great understanding of how to edit and post things on this site. Luckily, with a bit of practice, it is fairly easy to create your own site and to post and work on your class wikisite. If Ms. Kyle can do it, ANYONE can!


 * Step 1:** Click on your class page on the left
 * Step 2:** On that page you will see a link to your section, click on that
 * Step 3:** Within your section page, find your name. When you click on that, there should be a page that says:

Welcome to the kyle-history space
Getting Started To get started, click on the 'edit' link above to add content to this page. You and other contributors can also comment on pages using the 'discussion' link at the top of every page.

About This Space Your space is currently **protected**. It can be seen by everyone, but only space members can edit pages. As the space organizer, you may change your space's [|settings], [|look and feel] or [|permissions and members]. You can also change your [|subscription options]. Need Help? For more information on how to use Wikispaces, see our help section. Contact Us If you need help, please contact us at help@wikispaces.com.


 * Step 4**: **IMPORTANT:** Before you can edit, I need to allow you editing privileges. In order to do that I need your e-mail address so I can e-mail you and you go through the steps to gain access. I will let you know when I need that information.


 * Step 5:** Once you have access, you're all set! Here are some tips to make using this site a little easier:

1. To edit a page click the Edit button on the top bar. 2. DON'T FORGET TO CLICK "save" EVERY TIME YOU MAKE A CHANGE. **NOTE: Clicking** **"Save Draft" is NOT the same. You must click "save" to ensure your work is not lost.** 3. If you want to add a website or a link to an article for a blog assignment, click on the picture of the little world with the chain link that is connect (the left one) on the Editor tool bar. 4. If you want to add a video from youtube, click on the little picture of a television on the Editor tool bar. From the youtube site, find the clip you want and look for the "Embed" section and copy and paste everything from that section in the appropriate area once you have clicked that you want to post a video. (If you want to post a graph or audio clip or some other form of multi-media, you can find all of the tools you need in this section). 5. If you would like to post a picture click on the picture of a tree on the Editor tool bar. 6. If you are posting links to other pages BE SURE TO MAKE A BRACKET SANDWICH like so: two of these:[ bracket sandwich link and then two of these: ] **THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE A LINK TO A NEW PAGE!** 7. If you are ever confused about how to do something on the wikipage that's ok! Just click on the "notify me" section of the top of the page, send me an e-mail or ask me in person and we'll figure it out.
