Featured Text -- It doesn't take but a few clicks on the RandomPage link to notice that pictures really do liven up a WikiPage. In a world where readers want quick facts and summary information, pictures add those thousands of words with just an image. Of course, more than a few images can start to clutter up a WikiPage, which is why the "gallery tag" is such a cool tool for WikiBuilding. Simply list images in between <gallery> and </gallery> tags and the system will automatically size the photos and create a mini-gallery of the images. Clicking on an image takes you to the full version of the image. You can even add captions (or external links) via a magic pipe or "|" after the image name. To see some image galleries in effect, look no further than today's featured WikiPages:

Before we tell you too much about the great work of Jules at JMarkAfghans.com, let's just mention that even the wiki geeks at AboutUs continue to learn new tricks almost daily. Some of us hadn't realized you could stick an external link in a gallery caption before we looked closely at the magic of the JMarkAfghans.com page. Of course, now that we think about it, it's a natural thing to realize it worked, but it's still pretty cool. To see how it was accomplished, check out the page and hit the "edit" button and take a look at the code. Anyways, beyond teaching us a new trick, JMarkAfghans.com features unique hand-crocheted afghans in a variety of styles and sizes. People ordering these warm, cuddly works of art can even specify the size, color and styles for made-to-order precision, which is probably cooler than some wiki trick any day. (View Comments)

A great big thanks!

I'd like to say thank you to the AboutUs staff for being so helpful and welcoming. Being a featured site is a great honor! -Cassandra
