**NEAT THINGS**
 The top bar, called "Editor," allows you to change fonts, colors, and place things in bold, italics, or underline it. You can use a numbered list, a bulleted list, or insert a horizontal line. You can embed links, pictures, videos, or links. Below I will show how to do those things.
 * In order to add a link... follow the directions. It will be helpful if you have the page you want to link to open as a different window while doing this. **
 * 1) Type the title of the page you want to link to. Highlight that title.
 * 2) Click the icon in the Editor bar at the top that looks like a globe with a link of a chain in front of it. This will bring up a box.
 * 3) The bottom option in the box says "External Link." Click it so it is active.
 * 4) Go to the page you want to link to, highlight the URL, and copy it into the box that says external link. (If your URL has the prefix http:// already there, you have to delete it because wikispaces adds it for you.
 * 5) Click CANCEL.
 * 6) In order to check if your link saved, you must save this page and check it there.

**In order to add an image... follow the directions. It will be helpful if you have the page you want to link to open as a different window while doing this.**
