Handy Hints

Some useful shortcuts

ALT+E = Edit

ALT+P = Preview

ALT+C = Cancel Edit

ALT+S = Save (ie. update)

(if you are one of those fortunate Mac users the "ALT" key is your "Control" key) -Tom.

How to make fixed size dividing lines

If you like to make "fixed size" dividing lines place this code: <hr width="400"> directly after the full-stop of your last sentence (or at the place you want it to appear).

<hr width="300"> gives:

<hr width="400"> gives:

<hr width="480"> gives:

You can also just use three of these --- to make a dividing line. The difference is that it is always a full length one, like the one below.

"Tags" are really useful

We now have what is called Tags on our Wiki. A tag is a keyword or descriptive term associated with an item. You must be logged in to use Tags. Scroll down this page until you see "Show Footer". Click on this link to open it, and scroll down a little. You will see one Tag "Tutorial" I have created for us (you can create your own at any time). By clicking on this Tag you will be taken to a new page with links to pages associated with the Tag. In other words, if you click on the Tag "Tutorial" you will be taken to a page with links that have other Tutorials. Please remember that you will always see a link to the front page (home page) amongst the results as well (just ignore that one). You can read more about Tags here at Wikipedia.

Editing

When you are in "edit mode", give yourself more room by clicking on "Hide hints". Remember, less is more! -Tom.

Find your way around

Some of you may not realise that the three images in the right-hand column are also active links - one to our "Home page" and the other two to our NZPW sponsor Boules to You. The large red coloured title at the top-left is also an active link back to our "Homepage".
