__**Testing and Learning to Use Wikispaces**__

Learning how to use media in wikispaces. (this is a powerpoint test). (not working yet... bummer) Tried uploading a powerpoint file and using the "file" tag, but it didn't work. Found out you have to use some web-based service like SlideShare. Signed up for an account. Will try it next.... Cool, got it to work. We'll have to include something like this so we should all learn how...

media type="custom" key="448223"

In the meantime, here is a try at embedding YouTube video:

media type="youtube" key="pMcfrLYDm2U&rel=1" height="355" width="425"

This was exciting (to a tech geek like me). There is no way to officially center text or other things in a wiki. But after doing some reading in a Dreamweaver manual (1200 pages thick!), I tried writing some code to force the youtube videos to center on our home page. And it worked! The code? In case you're curious:

Before the text or image  document.write(' ')

And after the text or image  document.write('/div>')

I learned from the wikispaces help that you can embed your own html using the same icon that you use to embed videos and powerpoints. Cool!
