toc = Features =
 * adding tables
 * adding images
 * adding links and buttons to pages

= Adding Tables = You can create tables by clicking on the table image in the toolbar. After you specify the number of rows and columns for your table, click "Ok." = Changes to tables? = If you would like to make any changes to your table after you have created it, click on a cell in the table. = Adding Images = Adding images to your wiki, which you have saved to your computer, or thumb-drive, can be uploaded to the wiki and stored online, and reused as many times as you wish.
 * The table icon [[image:help.insert_table.gif]] will appear on the edge of that cell. Click on that icon.
 * Options for changing the alignment or heading for a cell, row, column, or the entire table will appear. You will also have the option to add or remove rows or columns or merge cells with each other. You can also choose to delete the entire table.

It is __important__ to note that image **//size//** **//really//** **//does matter !//**

The whole wiki page workable area is 800 - 850 pixels wide (for most computers), therefore if you download a picture straight from your camera it will be about 2500 pixels wide depending on your settings. (its a good idea to reset the settings on you camera to web/tv size, if you know most of the images are going to go onto the web) Pixels cost memory and slow down the upload time of each image so it is good practice to have pictures about the size you want them on the page. You can use any photo editing software to change the image size, the image resolution for the web should be set to 72 dpi.

 **Personally I work with multiples of 50s when deciding on the width of images, knowing that the page is 800 pixels wide if I want the image to take up half the page I make it 400 pixels wide, if I want it to be smaller I work with 200, and 150 pixels wide, etc.**

So here's how to add an image:

Here are thumbnails of the images you can add to your page, to practice **uploading** to your space first RH Mouse-Click and Save to your desktop.
 * [[image:10000_Buddahs.jpg width="136" height="96"]] || [[image:Buddahs_in_Po_Lin_Monastry.jpg width="136" height="96"]] || [[image:Fireworks.jpg width="136" height="96"]] || [[image:Junk.jpg width="136" height="96"]] || [[image:Lights.jpg width="136" height="96"]] ||
 * Image 1 || Image 2 || Image 3 || Image 4 || Image 5 ||

Alternatively you can add images straight from the web, for example click on this image: select "**copy image location**" and add it to your page using the external image tab and paste it in. You can alter the sizes and position using the plus and minus buttons. Copy one of the above images ponto your Wikispace.



= Adding Links & Buttons = Follow the video below to see how to add text links:
 * You can link one page to another page, particularly as on the msc-technology wikispace the pages are not shown in the navigation bar.
 * You can add links to web pages and URLs
 * You can place links on the words you type

media type="custom" key="4363503" You can place links on images and photos and make buttons for example here are some simple button created using [] Please note that buttons created here, can also have some rollover flash animation, the code can be tweaked to work in Wikispaces but they can take a while to upload. Therefore I recommend for starters, just create the first image as you want it to look and save as a .jpeg image. Other buttons for example here on this wiki or at: http://msc-ks3technology.wikispaces.com/Year+7+D%26T have been created in Photoshop.
 * Adding an internal link using this home button created using []
 * Creating an external link using this button created using []
