Sandbox



Welcome to the Sandbox! This is a space where you can experiment with all of the buttons to see how easy it is to use this wiki without having to worry about damaging content on the "real" pages. Edit away! Insert pictures, create links, and save them. This is your play space! No throwing sand, though! ;-)

//The instructions below will help you to share your resources, materials, thoughts, and ideas with other people who visit this space.//

To Add Text
Click on the page to which you wish to contribute content. Click on the //Edit This Page// link. Type your content into the white box that appears. Click the //Save// button in the upper, right-hand corner of the box.

To Add Links
Click on the page to which you wish to contribute content. Click on the //Edit This Page// link. Type your content into the white box that appears. Highlight the part of the text that you want to be hotlinked. Click on the picture of the globe with the chain link on it. When the pop-up window appears, click the //External Link// button and then type (or copy and paste) your link into the box beside it. Click the //OK// button in the pop-up window. Click the //Save// button on the page.

To Add Images or Files
Click on the //Edit This Page// link above. Click on the picture of the palm tree. Click the //Browse// button and find the image or file you want to use. Click the //Upload// button. Click in the large white box next to wherever you want your image or file to appear, then when the file icon appears in the little pop-up window, double-click it. A file name in brackets should appear on the page. Now close the little pop-up window and click the //Save// button in the upper, right-hand corner of the large white box. The file should now be downloadable for anyone who views the page.

To Add Video
Open a browser window and go find the video you want to use. Look for the word "Embed" on the page. Copy all the code next to the word embed (on a PC, Control + c; on a Mac, Apple + c). Now bring up the NNELL wiki in a browser window. Go to the page where you want to add content. Click on the //Edit This Page// link. Click on the picture of the T.V. Paste the code you copied into the white box of the pop-up window that appears (on a PC, Control + v; on a Mac, Apple + v). Click the //Save// button of the pop-up window. Now click the //Save// button of the page.

To Add a New Page (or to link to a page that already exists on the wiki)
Click on the page to which you want the new page to be linked. Click on the //Edit This Page// link. Type the title of your new page into the white box that appears. Highlight the title. Click on the picture of the globe with the chain link on it. When the pop-up window appears, click the //Wiki Link// button and then type the name of your page into the box (keep it short), or use the drop-down arrow to select a page that already exists on the wiki. Click the //OK// button in the pop-up window. Click the //Save// button on the page.

To Start a New Discussion
Click on the category of the kind of discussion you want to start (Advocacy, Change, Mentoring, etc.). (Use the Home category for general discussion items.) Next, click the //Discussion// tab at the top of the page. Type the subject of your message into the //Subject// box and the content of your message into the large, white box. To make your post easier for others to find, type key words that describe the content of your post into the //Key Words// box at the top of the page (this step is optional). Now, click //Post.//

Additional Tips

 * Photo Hint #1:** Don't put any spaces in the file name of your images - create a copy with a one word file name (or rename your photo) so there are no spaces in your file name. Otherwise your image may not display.


 * Photo Hint #2**: Once an image is uploaded, click on the page where you want the image to be inserted, and then double click the image from the library on the right. If you click and drag, only a thumbnail gets inserted instead of the full image.


 * File Hint:** Upload files in the same way that you upload photos! user:chericem1

Have you found the **Recent Changes** page yet? You can see what pages have had recent updates and by who, and if you click on the //Switch to Discussions// link you can see the discussion pages that have been recently changed, too.

I inserted this **table** here so you can practice adding and deleting rows and columns. To insert, click the arrow that is pointing in the direction where you want a new row or column to appear. To delete, put your cursor in the cell you want to delete, then click the X. **- [|chericem1]**
