Howto Information[edit | edit source]

As time permits and as volunteers come forward, HOWTO articles will appear here...it is one of the main goals of this site.

New:

  • Keyboard shortcuts are very handy. If you don't use your keyboard more than your mouse, then does that make you a mouseketeer?
  • PHP is the scripting and programming language that powers much of the worlds' websites (including this one). The time has come for me to add a section to this site providing some organized tips for using PHP.
  • I finally decided it was time to learn how to (re)build a Linux Kernel. I wanted to use a USB flash memory device, and unfortunately, Debian Sarge is not well-equipped to do so like more desktop-oriented distributions like Mandrake or Suse. Upgrading my Debian Sarge distribution to use the 2.6 Linux kernel, plus the udev system will hopefully solve this for me.
  • Video Editing describes how to take your home movies off your digital camcorder (miniDV format), put them on your computer, edit them, convert them to a compressed format or other format suitable for posting on the web, or burning them to DVD and CD for sharing with family and friends.

Linked Images[edit | edit source]

By default, this system is configured to show an image and link to it's description page. Sometimes, you want to use an image to link to a page of your choice. There are many ways to make mediawiki link images, ( and mw:Wikipedia:10 things you did not know about images on Wikipedia) but the most convenient that we settled on here is to use the Icon extension The syntax (described at Icons) is 

{{#icon: Info.png|Info|24|Special:Help}}

Also, [[Media:foo.pdf]] would produce a link to a pdf document, so [[Media:Ejbdesignpatterns.pdf]] produces a link to http://freephile.com/wiki/images/6/6d/Ejbdesignpatterns.pdf
