How do I get my uploaded pictures into my page on soap testing?

looks good so far it just needs linking the uploaded file on the page you want it to appear, which is done with [[File:Your_File_Name.jpg]] somewhere on the page.

Have a look on Julians Venturi page, click edit and you'll see how the thumbnail images are set there.

Hi Nige, your latest upload is visible here:

http://www.biopowered.co.uk/wiki/Special:NewFiles

I've used the "move" tab at the top to rename it to something more meaningful (this does not break any existing links that show the image - the wiki is clever like that!)

At the moment it would be linked into an article with [[File:Soap test 1.jpg]] as Chug described.

Nige ...

Well done for uploading the soap test page.  I've linked it to the contents on the main page and added a thumbnail of the picture you uploaded using the title from the copy you emailed.

To add the other pics down the right hand side, just copy the thumbnail code and paste it underneath the first.  Upload the next pic, noting the file name.  Then, in the new thumbnail code, replace the old file name with the new file name and alter the title to suit, save the page and that's it done.

Repeat for other pictures.
