Using pictures in Wiki
When using a picture make you asked permission or check to see if permission has been given.


 * Resizing a picture:**


 * You want your image to be a jpeg file and you want it to be between 20k-100k.
 * On a PC one way to resize images is to use paint. Paint is located under accessories. To locate the size of picture when opening the photo look to view the picture in the detail menu.
 * Once the file is open you want to go to image in your menu bar. Scroll down until you click on Stretch/Skew. You are only going to enter a percentage in the stretch boxes. Remember to use the same percentage on BOTH horizontal and vertical.
 * When you finsh save file again as a JPEG.

**Adding a picture**
1. Click on the picture on the editor tool bar. 2. You are going to "upload a new file". Click on "browse". Then locate the picture on your computer. 3. Then "Upload File". This might take a couple of minutes. 4. Search for the picture in the Wiki. When you find it double click. 5. A window label "Image Properties" will appear. You have the option to position your photo. Then you must enter the web link to were you located the picture. (class requirement) 6.Finally use APA citiation to title the picture directly below the picture.

**Steps for creating a link**
1. Click Edit This Page 2. Highlight the standard you want to link 3. Click the Insert Link icon on the tool bar 4. Erase all of the page name except for the number. For example, E.1.1 from Economics. Now you would write your wiki entry defining each of the productive resources (natural, human, capital) and explain and why they are necessary for the production of goods and services. This would become the text for Standard E.1.1. 5. Click Ok 6. Click Save on the tool bar. These steps will create a link to a blank page.
