Step 1 - Creation of a page

Before creating an article, try to make sure there isn't already an article, perhaps under a slightly different name. If a search does not find your article, consider broadening your search.

If no results are found, a page can be created.

Now, information can be added (see Step 2).

Step 2 - Adding text

Your information can be added. This page contains a 'standard' akvopedia page set up.

Simply click 'edit'.

The html text (= computer language to allow website creation) of this page will then show.

You can simply 'copy' the format and 'paste' it in the new akvopedia page that you created via the search field and edit option. You can then add your information, related external links and pictures. The page will hold the title that you entered in the search field.

This link contains a list of the format options.

Step 3 - Adding a picture

On this page the picture editing page all information about uploading, adding and formating of pictures is explained.

In the akvopedia environment, the following syntax is used to display a picture: [[Image:Akvo_africa.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Image title]]. Simply 'copy' and 'paste' this syntax in the akvopedia article you are editing.

However, this syntax is also present at the standard Akvopedia format page. It can be changed to refer to the uploaded picture when creating a new akvopedia article.

Step 4 - Adding a movie/animation

In order to insert a movie or animation, insert the internet adress / URL under the animation header from the Akvopedia format.

Press the edit button in the right corner of the Animation header.

Once in the editing mode, insert the internet / URL adress followed by its title in the syntax.

Extra movie or animation links can be created by simply 'copy' and 'paste' the syntax. The syntax is also easily created through the 'external link button' in the upper-left corner of the editing box.
