Two Ways to Insert Images
First Way: Uploading Images into the System
This way is not quite so easy as the second way, but the advantage is that the presence of your image on the wiki page won't be dependent on a link to a site that could change or disappear. Also, if you scan any image from a book, and that image now resides on your hard drive instead (as opposed to on a website), you'll need to use the following protocol.
First you need to have on your hard drive the image you want to upload. Go into editing mode and go to where you want the image to appear. Type the following:
attachment:nameofimage.jpg
Of course, in place of “nameofimage,” you type the name of whatever you want to post (this name doesn’t have to correspond precisely to the actual name of the image on your harddrive, but it does have to have the proper extension indicating that it is an image. Also, you must type in the name of an image; without including the name of an image, you can't get to the stage which you upload an image). Let’s say you want to post an image of Picasso, so you type in
attachment:picasso.jpg
Then click “save” and scroll down to where you want the image to appear. You should see a link entitled:
Upload new attachment "picasso.jpg"
Click on this link, and an attachment screen will open; this screen will list images you may have uploaded previously, and it will also have two input windows. One will be a “File to Upload” window: use the “browse” button to navigate to where your desired image is on your hard drive, highlight the desired image, and click “open”. Now you’ll be back to the two input windows, with the location of your image filled in. The other window, entitled “Rename to”, should already be filled in with the name of the image you typed in before: picasso.jpg
Now click the “Upload” button, and your image will be added to the list of files already uploaded. You’re finished. When you navigate back to the page where you want the image to appear (there are a couple places at the top of the attachment page to click that will get you there), your image should be there. If it isn’t, retrace your steps.
Second Way
This way is very easy, but the image is dependent on an external link. That is, you don't actually upload the image into your system; you simply link to it. To do this, locate an image on the Web you want to insert. Right click on it, and select "Copy Image Location". Then return to where you want the image to appear in your wiki page. Paste the link info into brackets, save, and the image should appear. Thus, the following codes produces the image below:
