Wikispace+knowhow

Basic editing of a page on the wiki is very similar to typing in a word document. There are some special buttons that you will only have seen before if you have created your own webpage. A word of warning, there is no spell check in this, so if you make a mistake it is not going to show you, you will need to edit for yourelf. But on the bright side, once you have finished your work you can edit at any time, just save any changes once you are done.

‍‍‍‍‍Creating a new page for yourself ‍‍‍‍‍is the first job for you to successfully complete, there is no use all trying to change the one page, is there? On the left hand side of the wiki is a "new page' link. Click this and use your name to save the new page. Then come back here using the "wikispace knowhow" link on the left hand side

Lets walk through the controls for the editing. Working from left to right: **B** //I// and __U__ will be familiar to you all and do the same job here. T is new and replaces the font, font colour, size and position of your text. Click to have a look at the options. The next button is for commenting; see my comment on the right

The next button changes text into headings of various sizes.

 * 1) numbered lists
 * 2) are next
 * 3) this is fairly freaky
 * 4) umm wasting time now

The next button puts a line on your page like the one below
 * oh and you can have dot points as well
 * lol i crack myself up sometimes!!
 * sorry, too many distractions here

LINK FILE WIDGET and TABLE are too complex for this week, we will cover these buttons later in the term. UNDO and REDO are next and just like Word allow you to undo something that you delete by accident.... make sure to do it before you exit or save your page .... after that it is lost! PREVIEW lets you check the look of your wiki CANCEL means that all work is not saved so be careful with this button SAVE has lots of functions on the wiki, but all mean the same in the end....your work is saved.
