Creating a wiki!

Borrowed from the Champaign-Urbana localwiki: wikiguide:

The best advice I can give is to “just do it”. While thoughtful consideration should be given to organization and accessibility it shouldn't hold us back from adding content and contacting people. Our individual knowledge and skills are and will continue to be useful and we should certainly play to those skills. However, we also need to make sure that we're doing the work that may not come first nature to us: content and outreach.  A final piece of advice I can give is that a short page is better than no page at all. Stubs may be short but they offer a beginning place for others to edit. Think of them as an invitation to join in.

Check out the wikiguide created by University of Illinois GSLIS students for the Champaign-Urbana Local Wiki and START EDITING!

Working with Pictures

Double clicking on images after you upload them and place them on a page will give you some limited options for formatiing: scaling size, alignment, and border. It's not much, but it can make your page look much more visually pleasing.

Hello, my name is Tyson Mohr. I am a Bloomington resident who would like to be added as an admin. I apologize for communicating via a page edit, but I've tried multiple ways to reach out to the admins with no success. Please contact me at [email protected] if you are an admin so we can discuss how to do this. Thank you!
