Editor Bar
= =  The top bar, called "Editor," allows you to change fonts, colors, and place things in bold, italics, or underline it. You can use a numbered list, a bulleted list, or insert a horizontal line. You can embed links, pictures, videos, or links. Below I will show how to do those things.

Links

 * In order to add a link... follow the directions. It will be helpful if you have the page you want to link to open as a different window while doing this. **
 * 1) Type the title of the page you want to link to. Highlight that title.
 * 2) Click the icon in the Editor bar at the top that looks like a globe with a link of a chain in front of it. This will bring up a box.
 * 3) The bottom option in the box says "External Link." Click it so it is active.
 * 4) Go to the page you want to link to, highlight the URL, and copy it into the box that says external link. (If your URL has the prefix http:// already there, you have to delete it because wikispaces adds it for you.
 * 5) Click CANCEL.
 * 6) In order to check if your link saved, you must save this page and check it there.

Images
**In order to add an image... follow the directions. It will be helpful if you have the page you want to link to open as a different window while doing this.**


 * 1) Find an image using [|Flickr Creative Commons] or Google.
 * 2) Double-click the image to choose the optimal size, then right click, SAVE AS, and save it to your teacher share folder or flash drive. Name it something you will remember.
 * 3) Click the "picture frame" icon at the top. Browse to your folder, choose your photo or clipart, click "upload." This may take a minute. When it does, you may align it on the page or add a caption.
 * 4) **WAIT, you're not done yet!**
 * 5) Go back to the photo and right click again. Copy the URL address and take note of the photographer if you need to.
 * 6) On your wikipage, paste the URL using the closed link and give credit to the photographer.
 * 7) Save your page!
