WIKI post completed with conference report

I worked with Jim Galbraith and reviewed his draft for doing Wikis and posted my report of the 2007 Fall Depository on the Conferences Wiki page.

Once I got the steps down, it was a fairly easy process. It was necessary to look at the finished product to get some of the line spacing to look right. I still need to learn some more details on the editing and how to follow edits, but the whole thing does not seem difficult--once you have done it.

Now I have to begin the process of setting up a Wiki for the UC News group. That is a whole different process.

Yaka photo

Attempting to upload Yaka photo. Have been signed into both Yahoo and Flickr accounts. Not working as I would expect. May need help. Now will not pull up pages from add image icon.
URL for what I want is:
(won't cut and paste???)

Flickr African Art

Read all the suggested information about Flickr. Then went searching for photos. Found some and then read I would have to create an account. Created the Yahoo account. Takes a little while for it to register so will add the photo later.

I went searching for African Art photos. The listings that came up contained a variety of types. Some was just of architecture of museums. Some was dancing. Some was arts and crafts. But one person, sftrajan, had a variety of photos from various museums. The listing indicated a German museum but when I clicked on the actual photo shown, I was then able to click on his tag, African Art and it took me to photos from the San Francisco De Young Museum. Most were good, clear photos. Their tags were mostly art, museums, De Young, African art, masks, etc. None gave the actual tribal name, e.g., Yaka.
