This page is a refence page to help you in the creation of your wiki persuasive project!

Here is some basic information about wikis:

Hints and Reminders:

• Only one person can edit the same page at the same time--because of that, create multiple pages so that you can all work on different parts of the wiki at the same time
• Whenever you create a new page, it is just floating out in the netherworld until you link it to your sidebar or to another page--so, your page is never lost, you just need to link it!
• If you find a picture you want that is on a webpage on the internet, you can copy and paste that picture directly onto a page on your wiki.
• Always hit save when you are done making changes on the page so that your group can also work on that page.
