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 BME494_Group#_ so that your image has a unique identifier. Replace # with your group's number. Good example: BME494_Group3_Assembly.jpg. Bad example: Assembly.jpg Click the Upload file button. IMPORTANT! Record the name of your file. You will need it later.
