Independent Technology Learning: Project Two Post Three

When working on my Wikitravel site I wanted to incorporate pictures when talking about certain locations in my town, to give my audience a sense of the home like small town setting.  I went out and took pictures of my hometown when I went back for a weekend. I thought that picture would really be able to show the true beauty of some of the places in my town, and instead of bragging and selling the place I wanted to provide picture for my audience to determine that for themselves. They would be able to see what area that would want to visit. I took pictures of a few different places. The town green or Main Street and two different hiking areas. I picked the two hiking areas in my town, rather then the surrounding ones even though they are just as good, if not better, so that before even visiting travelers would be able to see where they would want to go to first. Then I picked the town green because it is one of the most known places in town, so I wanted the travelers to be able to know what it looked like before visiting so they would know what to keep an eye out for. Unfortunately I was unable to figure out how to post a photo to Wikitravel. I tried many different ways, looked up how to do so on Wikitravel, and even on the internet to try and figure this out. Whenever I tried and uploading a photo it either faulted the existing spacing and font on the page and also did not show up. The outline of the picture showed up but the picture never appeared. This would have been helpful for my page on Wikitravel, but I removed the picture so nothing was unorganized. I did include the pictures in my final draft submitted in Sakai.
