How do I add content?
To add content, all you have to do is click on the "Edit this Page" button and begin typing. Similar to Microsoft Word, you will be able to type, delete, cut, paste, and move content. Remember, save your work as you go. When you add a strategy to the "strategy" page, please write out and answer for us the following three questions: 1) What is it? 2) How does it work? and 3) When should I use it?

How do I modify what I have written?
Wikispaces limits what modifications you can make, but you will be able to italicize, bold, and underline your text. You will also be able to create lists using bullets. To do this, you must be in the "Editing" view and choose the tool you wish to use. To change the font size, click on the drop down window that reads "Normal." In the window, select the size of font you wish to use. At this time, you will not be able to modify font style or color.

How do I create a hyperlink?
You can link a word, phrase, or image to a website. To do this, highlight the item or word you would like to link to the World Wide Web. Click the icon in the editing menu that looks like a paper clip resting against a globe. A window will open and prompt you to select a wiki link or an external link. You will want to select an external link. Copy the address from the website you wish to link to, and paste the address in the external link field.

How do I insert an image?
To insert an image, click in the area you wish to add the image, click on the insert image tool, a window will appear, an you will need to browse for the image. Once you find the image, upload it into our wikispace. You may insert the image (once the upload is complete) by simply double clicking on the image. The image will appear on the space.

How do I save my work?
As you add content, take a moment to save your work. The save buttons are on the bottom and top right corners.

What do I do when I can't undo?
When you make a mistake on the page (like accidentally deleting text), navigate away from the page without saving. A window will appear and ask if it is okay to navigate away without saving: click okay. Once you have navigated to a new page, go back to the page you would like to fix. Click "Edit this Page." The screen will turn gray, and a "Draft Recovery" window will open. If you would like to return to the original page, the page before material was deleted, click "Discard Previous Draft." If you would like to save your most recent page, click "Revert to Previous Draft."

How do I use the "Discussion" board?
Use the discussion board to post questions, concerns, and comments. Click on the "Discussion" tab and enter a comment. Check the tab every once in a while to see who needs your help.
