Adding a file

You are able to "upload" certain files to this web site i.e. you can add a file to the site such as a Word or Excel document. Anyone can then click on a link to view it on their computer.

The syntax is like this;

[[Media:MyWordFile.doc|The minutes of the meeting]]

When you save you page the text the user can click on will be "The minutes of the meeting" but the file will be called "MyWordFile.doc". If that file is unknown to the web site is will ask you to add it on a seperate page. Click the "Browse" button to find the file on your computer and a window will pop up to help you find it (click "Open" when you have selected it). It will then confirm the file is uploaded. Now the whole world can see your file!

If the file already exists on the site but you're not sure of its name take a look at this page here.
