Editing a page with source

You have a choice of Visual editing and edit source which can help with more sophisticated formatting if you need to make tables, or creating borders around images with varied spacing.

Creating a layout with borders around images and appropriate spacing can be troublesome in the Visual edit, particularly if the images are of varied sizes and need defining.

The page is ‘empty’ to start with, so click the "empty page" to begin editing. In the menu, you can then in type the name of the page you wish to create.

Add some text to the page space and select the drop-down ‘Categories’ to give it a home. ‘Citizen Science Projects’ or ‘Resources’.
