NAVIGATION+BAR+&+WIDGETS


 * IV. (a.) How to edit the Navigation Bar: **

The wiki software will automatically create a link to every new page (as you create them) on the navigation bar. However, the links will be created in the order in which you create the pages, which may not be the order you would like them to appear. You can edit the Navigation Bar to customize it and/or change the order of links as follows:

__**Steps: **__ 1) Click the words, "edit navigation" at the bottom of the navigation bar; 2) Click the "widget" (gray box) you see and delete it; 3) Click the "Link" tool on the toolbar at the top of the page. Now type the links to the pages you have created as you would like them to appear. (Note: The "link" text does NOT have to exactly match the page names, but it would be nice if they were similar); 4) Now choose the "existing page" from the drop down list to link to. 5) Click "Save" and you're done! You can always go back and change the order or link text any time you like.

__**Tip: **__ You can add small icons or graphics to your link text if you like and/or put a separator line between links.


 * IV. (b.) Widgets: **

Widgets are tools or embeddable code (html) that you can add to your website pages. Examples are weather gadgets or clocks you see on many popular websites and even smart phones.

__**Steps: **__ 1) From within the page you are editing, click the "widget" tool on the toolbar. 2) Choose the type of widget from the purple box on the left of the menu that pops up. When in doubt (or as a rule), I almost always use the "Other HTML" option, since this covers all scenarios. 3) Copy/paste the html embeddable code from the widget tool you are adding into the white input box and click "save." Note that you will see a gray "placeholder" widget box on the page UNTIL you save your page changes. Then you should see the actual widget appear. 4) Now you try it! Go to the RESOURCES page of this wiki and click on one of the widget sites listed. Find a tool you like and try adding it to your wiki.

Try copying these coordinates and entering them into the search box in the widget above: __ [|33°56′16″S 25°35′56″E]  __

Or try these coordinates as well: [|26°14′5.27″S 27°58′56.47″E]

Of course normal names of places and addresses work fine, too.

The clock Flash activity below came from @http://resources.oswego.org/games/
This is actually a "flash" .swf file I uploaded to this wiki and then used the "File" tool to insert on this page so it isn't a "widget". media type="file" key="clockres.swf" width="648" height="486"
