This thread will be dedicated to tutorials, suggestions and questions for our WIKI.
DISCLAIMER - We Will Be Using Some of Your Photos
We will be attempting to generate some interest in getting the many photos, and a lot of the information we are collecting here, into the Online Croton Reference. If you have any objections to the use of your photos, let us know.
We are assuming that since you already posted them on Palmpedia's Croton Forum, that you have no objection to them being posted on another part of Palmpedia - the Online Croton Reference Encyclopedia as well.
This is something that anyone can help with - a little or a lot. Stay tuned for the beginnings of this project, and consider helping a little if you can. It could be as simple as when you are uploading any photos to the Forum, to also upload some to the wiki - with names. That would help a lot. Wiki photos can be much larger, higher quality, and uploaded 10 at a time.

How to Post pictures to the WIKI
1. From the WIKI link, select the "Upload multiple files' hyperlink in the useful links box. Aprox half way down the menu on the left.
2. On your computer, be sure to name your files something that you can remember easily. Example: clipper_junglegal.jpg
You can upload 10 pictures at one time & it's a fast process.
3. Once your picture is uploaded, find the name page of the croton you want to post a pic for. You can either search it's name using the search feature on the left or use the master name list to find it.
4. click the edit tab at the top of the page. If there is not another existing picture to copy code from, you will use this
[[Image:insert_your_filename_here.jpg|thumb|450px|Picture taken by insert forum members name]]
Note** If your file contains capital letters or underscores, you must type in your file name using them or your picture will not show.
