How to Create Pages and Upload Content

Create Pages by

  • Create the page and click edit at the top.
  • Copy the contents of this page as a template starting point for your page
  • Choose one or more categories (shown on the main page) that you feel your project falls into and create a category tags such as [[Category:Algorithmic Composition]] or [[Category:Interactive Systems]]. You can see all of the categories from the main page.
  • Add a description and links to the content you're submitting by formatting them as [//www.mylink.com The Thing My Link Goes To].
  • See steps below for uploading and linking to content
  • Once your page is complete, click save and review it. Go to the main page and ensure that your page shows up in the proper categories.

\\media\Media\Academics\Depts\HUA\Manzo

  • Create a sub-folder for your project
  • The ‘web link’ to files put in that location will be:

If you create folders in there then: http://media.wpi.edu/Academics/Depts/HUA/Manzo/[foldername]/[filename.xxx]

Embed Video and Audio

Embed Video by

  • You may embed YouTube video with the following tag:

<youtube>VideoID</youtube>

Note: The VideoID for your video is the alpha-numeric code after v= in the URL once uploaded to YouTube. Alternately, if you look at the “Share” link for a video, it’s the code at the end. E.g.: for http://youtu.be/sUC-20Z_EKM, the ID would be sUC-20Z_EKM.
