Creating a logo on your wiki.

In most wikispaces themes (except the default), you can change the logo to another picture file.

When you have found your image file (see below),
 * Settings. Look and Feel. Logo** (if you can't see **Logo**, you may have to change from the default template).
 * Choose file. Save**

__**PROBLEM 1**__ //If the image is too large, it will distort your whole wiki. (Around 128 px is about right)//

Go to [|Google images] Find the image that you like by searching **eg tablet pc (1)** Choose **Search tools** (2). **Size. Icon** (3) A good logo is about 128 px high. When you hover over the image, you will see how large it is. Save the file to your computer and then follow the instructions above (**Settings** etc)
 * Solution 1**

__**PROBLEM 2**__ //When you put in your logo, it removes the name of your wiki in the banner.//

Design a logo using Google Drawing (part of Google Drive). Create a drawing in your Drive. Resize the area: 12 x 3 cm is a good measurement Add one or more text boxes for your wiki's name. Export the file as a png.
 * Solution 2**
 * File. Page setup. 12 x 3 cm**
 * Insert** the picture file and place it on the left hand side.
 * File. Download as... PNG image. Save**

Then, finally, you can upload the image to the wiki.

See what it looks like and keep changing the original image until it seems right to you.
