This page will tell you how to sprinkle your article with photos, like as in the [[Cribbage]] article does.# To ensure a smooth upload, ensure your photo is a reasonable size. If you open it up with whatever photo program you use, and a zoom of 100% lets you count nose hairs, it's probably too big. The software recommends a size limit of 140 KB; 400KB is a decent upper limit on sizeas high as you should go. Most image programs have resize features to help you out.
# [[Special:Userlogin|Log in]]

# Add any additional notes in "summary."
# '''IF''' you've ensured your photo is a reasonable size check the "Ignore warnings" box.
# Click "Upload file."
# Now your image should be on the server. To include it in your article, just type in something like:
