Uploading images

You can see all images on the wiki here: Special:ListFiles

You can upload files here: Special:Upload (this is also linked from your 'toolbox' menu item)

Alternatively, you can just put this text

[[Image:<name of your image goes here>.jpg]]

into a page (where you replace <name of your image goes here> with the actual name of your image). You can then click on the link and upload the image.

General information on uploading images here, skip over the technical bits: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Images_and_other_uploaded_files
