	Enter the name of the image you want in the search field to the left and click '''Search''' (e.g. "Amethyst"). Then, at the bottom of the results page uncheck '''(Main)''' and check '''Image''' and click '''Search'''. If the image already exists in the wiki it will find a match (e.g. '''Image:Gem.gif''') which you can use. If the image is not found you may upload it yourself.

Remember that some images may exist as an alternate name. For instance, there may not be a Gold acorn graphic, but there is an Acorn graphic already which can also be used as the Chestnut graphic.

	Many modern players support Ogg files. The latest version of [[http://www.winamp.com Winamp]] supports it natively. If you have Windows Media Player, you will need an Ogg codec which you can get from [[http://tobias.everwicked.com/oggds.htm here]].

We all track every IP address that edits pages. If it becomes a problem, we can and will report frequent vandalisms to ~~Kru Interactive and~~ the appropriate authorities.

	Most certainly. If you would like to fashion a new logo or button, just do it and e-mail it to [zaventh at zaventh com]. If you want to create an entire site template, well... you're on your own. But you can check out [http://www.mediawiki.org MediaWiki] for some help. Any graphics in a wiki page can also be changed by anyone.

			== How can I help prevent vandalism? ==
			Easy. As you are using the wiki, if you come across a vandalized page, go up to the top of page to the "History" tab. From there you can revert to the last good version of the page before it was vandalized. Thank you for helping to maintain the integrity of NexusWiki.
