Uploading Images to OpenWetWare Before putting an image on your page, you must upload an image to OWW... Create an image in your favorite image-making software. Save the image as a jpg or png file somewhere on your hard drive. Click the "Upload file" link in the OpenWetWare menu on the left (under "toolbox"). At the Upload file page, click Choose file and use the browser to find the file on your hard drive. IMPORTANT! In the Destination filename: box, replace the file name with something that uses the prefix BME103_Group#_ so that your image has a unique identifier. Replace # with your group's number. Good example: BME103_Group3_Assembly.jpg Bad example: Assembly.jpg Click the Upload file button. IMPORTANT! Remember/ write down the name of your file. You will need to use the exact file name in order to add the image to your wiki page. Adding Images to Your Page Regular Images Go to the page you want to add an image to. Click the edit tab at the top of the page. Type in this text: [[Image:Owwnotebook_icon.png‎|200px|Description of image]] After you have uploaded an image to OWW, replace Owwnotebook_icon.png‎ with the file name of your image. Replace Description of image with a short description of your image. Set the width of your image by editing the number where 200px is in the example. Click the Save page button. Thumbnail Images Thumbnail images are small images with captions. These add a nice touch to the text that explains your project. Follow the same steps as above, but include more aspects in your Image code: [[Image:Owwnotebook_icon.png‎|thumb|frame|left|A description of the image goes here]] The aspect left places the thumbnail to the left of your page's text. Replace left with right to move it to the right. Replace A description of the image goes here with a short description of your image. Click the Save page button.
