This is a collection of member photographs (for those who choose to have one).
This is a collection of member photographs, to make it easy to get to know Protospace members in person and on the web.
 
<em>This collection of pictures is completely optional, some members wish to remain anonymous, and they are entirely free to do so </em>
 
== Adding a member picture ==
 
* upload a picture file, using "upload file" on the left-hand-side menu
* choose a graphics file, jpg or png
* in the "Destination filename:" field, enter a filename that includes your Real Name, or your Wiki "user name"
* this is handy, when you want to use the file later, and for the rest of us (e.g. who the heck is Mr. 5291273848673246.jpg?!)
* in the "Summary:" field, cut-and-paste this text:
<code>Member name: Your Name Here
</code>
 
<code><nowiki>
[[Category:MemberHeadshots]]</nowiki></code>
 
* don't forget to change "Your Name Here" to, you know, your real name, or wiki user name
* Click "Upload File"
 
 
== Using a member picture ==
(quoting directly from the "Upload File" screen)
 
To include a file in a page, use a link in one of the following forms:
 
* <code><nowiki>[[File:File.jpg]]</nowiki></code> to use the full version of the file
* <code><nowiki>[[File:File.png|200px|thumb|left|alt text]]</nowiki></code> to use a 200 pixel wide rendition in a box in the left margin with 'alt text' as description
