You may also find that Portal:AboutUsHelp is very helpful! --DaughertyBw 06:04, 3 October 2007 (PDT)

Deb, Couple things, what is the image name and where would you like to put it? I will help you set a couple up and then walk through the process with you, perhaps that may help you.. there are some really cool things you can do with the images as you may have seen on my gallery (Yes that is my princess.. and one of my favorite pictures!) - If you are feeling brave try this step by step process (I will skip the uploading since I think you have that down.

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" or "left" 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 upper right hand side and text will wrap around it.
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.

That should get you started. I will resize the banner on your user page. You can go and look at how I used the above codes just by clicking the edit button on that (or any page). I think this may help. once we get the basic process down (which is very easy, so dont be afraid or intimidated to try things out - the best advice I ever received is the fact that everything can be reverted to the previous state. So there is nothing you can break!) we will then be able to learn some other cool things you can do in wiki. You will find that it is much easier then say dreamweaver. If you are finding that you are running into problems, then we could always meet up in IRC (chat) and we could walk through it that way as well! just send me a message as you have before on my talk page when the best time is for you. We can also discuss how to get your website featured here on AboutUS which will help to draw some more traffic there! Let me know.. Bryan My Talk Page

You Are more then welcome. If you need any help I will be on IRC for quite some time today.. Just let me know! --DaughertyBw 10:21, 5 October 2007 (PDT)
