Uploading images should now work again, since we've updated the Wiki software. Also note that you can do all sorts of fancy things with images. For example, you can place a thumbnail in the page with a subtitle that links to the full image. You don't need to generate the thumbnail yourself. It all happens automagically. For an example, have a look at [[New Brew Trail]]. As always, have a look at [http://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia] for other advanced formating tricks (they run the same software we do). | |||

Wiki Tip of the Moment
In an effort to make people more knowledgeable about the many features of this Wiki, I've decided it would be a good thing to have a Tip of the Moment on the front page. People should change this tip once in a while. Make sure to archive the tip in VOCWiki:Tip at the same time as you place it on the front page. Possible future tips :
- Advantages of creating an account
- How to upload a photo
Lots more I'm sure, but I've got to run to TA now!
