toc =Wiki Tutorial= //(You can find the answers to many common wikispace questions here )// To edit a page on this wiki, you'll need to [|sign up] for an account and then go to [|seaperchinstitute.wikispaces.com] and join the blog.

Once you've joined the blog, you can edit pages by clicking the "edit" button directly above any page. When you do that you'll see a What You See Is What You Get edit window (also know as a Visual editor). You can type and format documents just like you would in many other word processing programs, with a few exceptions:


 * Making a Page:** You can start a new page by clicking on the +New Page link in the left hand sidebar. The default blank page has two table of contents widgets. You don't need to do anything with them.

You should be able to format your text in the visual editing window, just like you would in most word processing programs. Add pictures by clicking on the "File" button and uploading the image. You can use the dropdown menu that's next to the text pallet to make big and bold headlines that will become part of the table of contents.
 * Be Bold** in making pages where you think this wiki needs them. If you get stuck, contact Rachel.

**Adding Links:** To add a link to your page, type out the text where you'd like to add a link. Use your cursor to highlight the text, and then click on the "Link" button. If you're linking to a page outside of this wiki, place the url of the destination in the field under the "external" tab. If you're linking to a page within this wiki, use the drop down field next to "Page Name" to indicate the destination.

You can link to a page that hasn't yet been created by writing your own url extension in the "Page Name" section. Once you've finished the page that you're working on and you want to create the one that you've just made a link for, save your work, and click on the link that you made. This should take you to a new page that you can begin to edit.
