=__How to Post Pictures:__= When it comes time to post pictures, you will go to the Photos Page and be able to view and add photos. Once there, to upload pictures, do the following: These names are common for most of the students, and because of this Wiki does not recognize individual pictures. If you name your photos CIMI001, and upload your picture it will work. Problem is, if someone else has photos named CIMI001 too, your photo will be deleted and replaced by this photo. Thus, when adding photos, have your photos identified as **YOUR NAME**. For example, if I was to post a picture, I'd have the picture titled HUBBARD001, or MATTHUBBARD001. This way, no one will replace your photos and you will have them saved.
 * 1) Go to the edit tab and click it. Now you are able to edit this page, in other words, add items. Being I am the page administrator, I am always notified of when things have been changed, added, deleted, etc. so do not go on and change wording or delete photos. I will know if you did, since your name will show up.
 * 2) To upload pictures, an edit bar will show up. You will see an option that says File, click on this tab.
 * 3) The photo option will come up, stating to options: Insert Files and External Files. You will use **INSERT FILES**. To upload click the upload link. It will then send you to your photo folders or albums whatever you may have them under.
 * 4) __**THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING!!!!**__ When uploading photos, do not name your photos the following:
 * CIMI
 * CIMI2010
 * My Trip
 * Mayfair
 * Foster
