| | | | |
| − | * I have created the MarineLives Project Manual wiki, and called it simply Marine Lives
| + | ===Online Training Activities=== |
| − | * I have resisted the temptation to create the basic structure of pages that you have suggested, and that I have agreed, believing it is better that the two of you do as much of this yourselves as possible. You will both learn more that way, starting with how to create pages. Don't worry, as long as you press save after you have made changes to a page, the wiki SW automatically saves all the content and code for that page. At any time for a specific page you can click at the top on the INFO button for that page, to the right of the EDIT button, and you can go back to any previous stored version of that page
| + | |
| − | * I have left the code in place on the front page which provides you with some basic suggestions and guides to functionality. You may wish to browse this and then delete it in edit, leaving just the content and code you want for the Project Manual wiki
| + | [[Online Training Activities|Online Training Activities]] |
| − | * I have created two pages, which at any time can be moved, deleted, edited, etc., one page for the two of you as Editors and one page for me. I suggest we use these pages temporarily and then bury them in the Project Manual (it is possible to make certain pages only visible to named individuals), but that for the moment we leave them visible as the two of you build the wiki
| + | |
| − | * If you wish to bring any content over from the bron.wikispot.org wiki, which you both have access to, simply open that wiki, go to the page you want and go into EDIT mode. Copy the code and text of what you want and paste it into the MarineLives Project Manual page where you want the text and code. YOU MUST DO THIS IN EDIT MODE, OTHERWISE YOU WILL SIMPLY COPY AND PASTE UNFORMATTED AND UNCODED TEXT, WHICH WILL DISPLAY INCORRECTLY AND WILL NOT CARRY ANY MACROS WITH IT
| + | ===Bath Spa Student program=== |
| − | * I strongly encourage you to learn how to use MACROS. These are key to building a decent wiki, and are easy to learn: See: http://wikispot.org/Help_with_Macros
| + | |
| − | * You should also take a look at: http://wikispot.org/Help_with_Formatting

| − | * You should also take a look at: http://wikispot.org/Help_with_Linking
| + | |
| − | * You shoudl also take a look at: http://wikispot.org/Help_with_Images
| + | |
| − | * The overall page on editing a wiki is at: http://wikispot.org/Help_with_Editing
| + | |
| − | * I am around all day today (Wednesday (08/08), but out at the National Archives on Thursday (09/08), and pleas feel free to call me by phone. I will take a look at the wiki during the day and in the evening to see how the two of you are getting on
