*+How+to

General instructions for using a wiki:

 * There are loads of help videos on Youtube; You can also look for more help here.
 * The interface is simple but easy to use and is similar to Word or Blogger.
 * Save reguarly. Each time you save, the work is backed-up.
 * Even better, do most of your work in Word or similar; that way you won't risk losing work **//and//** you can spell-check!
 * If you lose work, you can request an earlier back-up of it (look at your pages 'History' tab)
 * Read the information and task instructions (both in your wiki and in your class dossier)
 * To edit, you first need to click on 'Edit' (top right).
 * If you have problems with the format (typeface, size, colour, etc) of something that you have pasted from Word, then find your basic text editor, such as 'bloc de notas', and paste your text there **//FIRST//**, before copying again and pasting into the Wiki.
 * If you want to use images from other places on the web, right-mouse click and copy 'address of URL'; paste this into the address line in 'File'.
 * If you are using images from your hard-disk or USB, it's a good idea to reduce your photo in size to web size (eg. around 448 x 300 pixels or 60 KB) before you upload them.**
 * Once in the wiki, you can use resizing buttons (click on the image or video to see these).
 * **//Everything and anything//** you do is monitored and recorded by the Wikipage //**at all times**//.

** Use Office Picture Manager or similar to reduce the size of your photo to web size (eg. 300x448 pixels or 60KB) //- this takes 30 secs and is easier if you save the image to your computer first//
