Pictures and logos are a great way to spice up AboutUs pages. Here's a quick primer on working with pictures in wiki.

If you are looking to add a portrait of yourself go here or click the up arrow in your current portrait/question mark.

edit Uploading a picture or logo

To add a picture, you must first upload the picture in any standard file format to the site.

To upload an image or other file: Login Click on Upload file in the links box on the left side. Browse to where the image lives on your computer and select it. Name the file. This name is what you will then WikiLink, or double bracket. [[Image:TheUniqueNameOfYourImage.jpg]]
If Upload file is not displayed, expand the menu by clicking on more links.

Keep in mind:

• Folks that are logged in can upload images.
• Upload the picture before making or editing the wiki page, that way you have the image name in mind and can use it in your page.
• Name the image as specifically as possible so it doesn't conflict with other images (e.g. not Logo.jpg, Sample.png, etc.).

edit How to add a picture or logo to your page

Once you have uploaded it, you can add the picture/logo to any article by using the command: [[Image:Example.jpg]], replacing "Example" with your filename. In this case the filetype was .jpg, but the system supports quite a few other filetypes as well. You can also select the button in the edit area that corresponds to a picture (it's the sixth button from the left).

Specifying placement - You can also specify that an image go to the "right", "left" or "center" of the text block, forcing the text to "wrap-around" it. To do this, you add a command to the image when you place it as follows: [[Image:Example.jpg|right]]. In this case, the picture will appear in the right hand side and text will wrap around it.

Putting your image in a frame - In addition to specifying placement, you can put a frame around your image, using the "frame command" as follows: [[Image:Example.jpg|frame]].

Image Thumbnails - Puts your image in a frame, but it also shrinks it to a smaller, more manageable size. Viewers can then click the "enlarge" icon inside the frame and see the picture in its full size. Use the "thumbnail" command like this: [[Image:Example.jpg|thumb]]. Note, website thumbnails are handled differently.

Captions - Captions can also be added to images that are either inside a frame, or a thumbnail. To do this, you just add the caption at the end of the image command: [[Image:Example.jpg|frame|This is a caption]].

Changing picture size - You can specify the size of the photo that shows up on the screen, independent of the "thumb" command. Here's an example of how to limit the size of a picture in your article to 200 pixels: [[Image:Example.jpg|right|200px]]. To choose a different size, simply replace the 200px with a different number.

Creating your own combination - You can also combine the options. For example, you can take an image, make a thumbnail of it, set the thumbnail at 150px, left justify it, and add a caption: [[Image:Example.jpg|thumb|150px|left|This is a caption]]. The order of the commands doesn't matter, except that the picture/file name must come first and the caption last.

Gallery option for multiple photos - To make a slew of photos more organized and professional, simply list images in between <gallery> and </gallery> tags and the system will automatically size the photos and create a mini-gallery of the images. See the Gallery page for more details.
