* Little 2, Expelled

# Type your name into the search box on the left hand side of the page, and you will get a search result telling you that the page does not exist. Choose to create the page.

# Hit the browse button and navigate to the file you have saved on your computer that you'd like to load. If you need to crop the image, do so before loading to the wiki. There are a variety of tools you can use to crop an image. MS Paint is a simple tool that does the job.
 
# The Destination filename will default to the Source filename. If the image you're loading has a generic title (e.g. Image24124.jpg, enter a more descriptive title in the Destination filename box (e.g. PeteGingrich.jpg). If you'd like to replace your picture with a new file in the future you can load it to the same destination filename, and your page will automatically be updated with the new image.
 
# Enter a summary if you'd like (e.g. your name and chapter) and then hit Upload file
 
# Copy the full name of your uploaded file (do not copy "Image:")
 
# Go to your member page on the wiki and hit edit
 
# In your member infobox on the "image =" line, add paste the full name of your file after the equal sign. Using the example filename above , this full line would then container image = PeteGingrich.jpg
