== Adding images[[File:howToPageImageButton.JPG|frame|To add an image, cick on this icon when you are in the Edit view.]] ==
Please ensure your images are no more than 600px wide in their largest dimension before uploading them. Then, go to the page where you want to add the image and click the Edit tab. When you are in the Edit view click on the small 'image' icon (this is illustrated in the image to the right). A pop up box will appear. In the 'Image filename' field, type the name you want your image to have. This should preferably include the address number, and the date when it was made. In the bottom left of the pop up box there is a 'Special Type' field - click here and select 'Frame' from the dropdown list. (This will ensure the image is aligned neatly to the right of the page.) You should also add a caption in the 'Caption' field, again including the date and a brief description. Then click 'OK'. In the normal page view you will then see your image name appear in red. Click on this and it will take you to a form where you can upload your image. Once uploaded, when you navigate back to the page you should see your image.
Please include the street number, and the date if possible, in the image filename. For example, to upload an image of the Excelsior cafe in 1972 you would type:
<nowiki>[[File:250-1972.png|frame| 1972: The Excelsior cafe in its heyday]]</nowiki>
