Q: I do not have my wikispace how do I create one?
A: YOU SHOULD have a wiksipace. Chris sat down with most of you and created one. If you do not have a wikispace then, go to this link: [|wikispace home page] then click "Get Started" and follow the instructions. Make sure you click the radio box that says Create Wiki? to YES!

Q: TO RECEIVE MY STIPEND ONE MUST:
A: =1) Keep weekly updates on your wikispace, no matter how insignifcant or how large they may be. THIS IS REQUIRED!!= =2) Check the Commmunication Page for updates they will inform you what you should be doing each and every week!= =3) Post your work completed to your Wikispace, this is the reason why we have them!= =4) Make sure your wikispace is working under your name.

Q: How do I customize my wikispace?
A: Unfortuantly we did not get a chance to go over the wikispaces in class so this is homework to do outside. This is going to take your dedication, but it is not unlike your typical myspace or facebook. Here are some hints for starters! =1) The obvious: Make sure you are logged in.= =2) If you do not like the way your wiki page is "styled" click the button that says manage wiki. Here you can upload files, change the "look and feel" and invite your fellow teammates.= =3) On your homepage you may edit your homepage. Use this to let everyone know that you made an update. It is also important to let fit staff know what's going on so make a discussion board and tell everyone where to find your updates.= =4) Make sure you create new pages for each major addition. simply click the "New Page" button and it will ask a couple of questions.= =5) To edit your page simply go to the page and click edit. This will bring up the VISUAL EDITOR. This will work great for most of your needs! If you need more control feel free to try the text editor, however, I only recommend this to experienced web editors.= =6) For more information feel free to go to help at the top of your wikispace. This will give you additional information for customization, or ask a staff member.=

Q: How do I post tables in wikispace?
A: Simply open your word/excel document. Highlight the desired table, and copy it. Then go to the Visual Editor and Paste it to the desired area. If you still have problems let a staff member know so we can help fix it.
