• Create the page and click edit at the top.
• Suggestion: 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].

How to Upload & Link to Content

Upload Content in two ways:

Using "Upload file" feature (for files smaller than 24mb)

• Click the Upload file link at the left and upload a file
• Link to the files within your page using the tag:

[[File:my_filename.jpg]]

Using WPI Storage (for files larger than 24mb)

• Mapping a network drive (WPI support info) to:

Windows: \\media.wpi.edu\Manzo or Mac: smb://media.wpi.edu/Manzo

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

http://media.wpi.edu/Academics/Depts/HUA/Manzo/my_filename.xxx

Once you create folders in the network drive:

http://media.wpi.edu/Academics/Depts/HUA/Manzo/my_folder/my_filename.xxx

• Link to these files within your page using the code:

[[File:http://media.wpi.edu/Academics/Depts/HUA/Manzo/my_filename.jpg]]

Note: if you have spaces in your path name replace them with %20 so that "/HUA/Manzo/My File.png" becomes "/HUA/Manzo/My%20File.png"
