Cheers Gladys G. 2009/2/26 Gita Mathur <[email protected]> > > Image name Tips: > 1. short but specific. I have used GargiWEGita1, GargiWEGita2 etc. > 2. Avoid spaces as spaces get replaced by underscore eg. "Gargi WE > Gita 1" will become "Gargi_WE_Gita_1", it can be a source of error on > adding to user page. > 3. Image name should not be common words like 'scene' or 'smile' or > 'My Photo' which have the risk of duplication. > 4. Image name can be kept as a constant series eg. GargiWEGita1, > GargiWEGita2 etc. keep increasing the no. whenever you add new image. > 5. Tutorial should give suggestions for renaming, not a strict rule. > WikiEducator is all about innovationa :-) > Gita Mathur > [http://www.wikieducator.org/User:Gita_Mathur] > > > > On Feb 26, 10:47 am, NELLIE DEUTSCH <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Usernames followed by a photo or file is an excellent solution, Sarita. > > However, I would still encourage members to consider a suitable name > since > > many of my students write 111111111111111111111 for files. > > Warm wishes, > > Nellie Deutsch > > Doctoral Student > > Educational Leadership > > Curriculum and Instructionhttp:// > www.wikieducator.org/EL4C21http://www.wikieducator.org/User:Nelliemuller > > skype:nelliedeutschmuller > > > > On Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 8:09 PM, Sarita Kumar <[email protected] > >wrote: > > > > > Hi all! > > > > > Really a big and interesting problem.
