 * **To insert an image click on the "image" icon above, look for the section that says "Browse." Find your image, and click "Upload." (Your image will be coming from a file on your computer. If you are using a web image, it will be easier to work with if you've saved it first.) Your image will load into the viewer, and you will have to double click it to insert it into the Wiki. Before you double click it, make sure your cursor is in the place you want to insert the image.**
