Images
Adding an image to a page is as simple as clicking the 'insert image wizard' button near the end of the second line of buttons in your rich text editor while editing a page. Unfortunately I am not sure of a way to upload a picture to the site while doing this so I'm unable to explain that at the moment. However if you upload a picture to a site like Photobucket you can use direct URL links with the first option it provides. It also has an option for Flickr if you prefer that method.
Faking a Thumbnail
Since we are limited to 300mb for the entire wiki, unless someone invest in upgrading.
- Starting with the image you want, resize it down so the longest side is no more than 100pixels with a rez of 72 pixels per inch (standard rez for bitmap and jpeg files)
- Upload this 'thumbnail' to the image host of your preference.
- Open the wiki page you want to add the thumbnail too.
- Use the insert image wizard
- Add four horizontal lines in front of the image wizard code
- Add two lines behind it
- Hit enter
- Add four more lines, hit space
- Add two up arrows
- Add [* and the url to a secure image site, some place you feel safe upload images that they won't get stolen
- Hit space and some text
- Add a ], two up arrows and two horizontal lines
- Hit save
