Great page Falcon, well done!
To get the pictures showing, you'll need to upload them to the wiki (the wiki stores photos unlike the VOD forum). You'll need the photos on your PC, I don't think you can upload from the web. Go to this page ... http://www.biopowered.co.uk/wiki/Special:Upload (via the toolbox in the left hand margin), give them a descriptive name and simply follow the instructions, bit like uploading photos to ebay. No need to resize, that's done when you put them on the page.
To add them individually use this code ...
[[File:Descriptive name.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Title of photo. Source: Your user name]]
The 250px alters the size, the thumb simply allows you to enlarge the photo by clicking on it and the right/left positions it horizontally on the page. Vertical positioning depends on where you stick the code on the page.
To put them in a "gallery" layout use this code ...
<gallery caption="Title" widths="200px" heights="200px" perrow="3">
File:Descriptive name.jpg
File:Descriptive name.jpg
File:Descriptive name.jpg
File:Descriptive name.jpg
</gallery>
Similar coding, the px numbers define the height and width and the perrow dictates how many photos run across the page in each row.
To get it categorised on the front page, stick this code at the bottom of the page ...
[[Category:Biodiesel]]
[[Category:Safety and Testing]]
[[Category:Vegetable oil]]
[[Category:Testing]]
There's then a funny quirk with the code on the front page! You will need to go to the front page, click "edit" and then click "save", and your page will get listed in the appropriate categories.
Probably need to loose the quote marks around the title to keep it consistent with the other pages ... click the Move tab at the top of the page and put Viscosity cup in the new title box (note the first letter capitalisation which is a standard wiki format) then click the Move page button.
Sorry if I'm teaching Granny to suck eggs! But if you need any help, just post on the wiki forum.
Just a thought for centring the hole ... you could put a tiny drop of water in the ladle, get the top level and then punch in the centre of the drop.
If you've got any more pages which might be useful, we can do with all the help we can get!

Oh, forgot to say ... put four squiggle marks ~~~~ at the bottom of the page and the page gets credited to you.
