Great news!  Since you've already resized the photos and have them stored in a folder, this is a pretty simple process!

 

First:  Log into your wiki space and go to the page you want to put pictures on.  While in the editing option, click the little icon that looks like a tree inside a picture frame--this is called  "Insert Images and Files". Right now, I'm just going to tell you how to upload pictures that will be stored at the wikispaces site.

Next:  Click "Browse" which is next to the empty box for "Upload New file".  A screen will pop up and you can select where you want it to browse, so enter the place that you put that folder of pictures.  When you find the folder, click on it and click "open".  This will open the folder so that you can see all its contents.  When you see the file that you want, click on it and again click "open".

 

 

Now what?  Nothing really seemed to happen, did it?  Look again--the box next to "Browse" isn't empty anymore.  Now you need to click the bold "Upload Now" button that is next to the "Browse" button.  Your image will be uploaded and you will see a little version of it in the top of the box.

 

 

Next:  Double clicking that image will put it into your wiki page.  Here are some things you can do with it...

  1. Write a short description in the empty box labeled "caption"--you'll be able to see it displayed with the caption after you save it.
  2. In "allignment", you get to pick how you want the picture centered.  If you select "none", you can move it around all over the place, but it doesn't seem very stable and will also push away any text you write.  Selecting "left", "center", or "right" will place the image on that respective side and wrap any text you write around it.
  3. For some reason, the pictures always seem to upload to the top of the page.  You can drag the picture lower onto the page, if that is where you want it.

File Naming Hint:  Whenever someone uploads a file to your wiki, it is all stored in the same place, even if the picture is not on the same page.  If you use a file name first and then someone else picks the same file name, their image will replace yours on the screen.  I like to use numbering in my naming to limit the likelihood of my image being replaced.

 

Finally:  Save your page once you think you are happy with it.  Warning-sometimes the page you view once it is saved looks different than what you thought it would...you may have to edit it a few times to get it right!
