Thank you for your interest in the wiki!
If you would like a wiki, please Request Access on the log in page. The site will ask for your email address, this will be the inbox that PB Works-aceartinc. will send an account activation message. Follow the prompts in the email to create your log in.
Create a page
Once logged on, there is a link in the top right hand corner of the screen titled "Create a page". Click it. It will ask you to name your page, often your artist name. The site will proceed to EDIT MODE (option seen on top left hand corner of screen), in which a blank text box and your basic formatting tools will appear. You may start editing your page!
How to post text
Note whatever is typed into the text box is exactly what you see in the VIEW MODE. You may post a bio at whatever length you wish.
How to post images
Images posted on the wiki must be in JPEG format. The right sidebar in EDIT mode allows you upload images, click "Images and Files"...
...click "Upload Files", select your picture to upload, click on your image at the top of the image list and your picture should appear in the text box where your blinking cursor was last placed.
You may select multiple pictures to upload by holding the SHIFT key and clicking the image files you want.
Click on the image uploaded once and you will get small white boxes around the border of your image. Click and drag any box to resize your image, as though in Microsoft Word.
How to post video
Note videos take quite a length of time to upload. You may want to consider posting still shots of your video OR uploading a clip of around 1 minute in length OR upload your video to Youtube.com. Youtube videos are faster to load and you will only need to copy the Embeded Code that the site offers. In EDIT mode, click on Insert (basic toolbar above text box), Click Video, Click Youtube, paste your embeded code, preview, and Insert Plug-In. Your video will appear as a green box in EDIT mode. It will appear as a video clip in VIEW mode.
