Navigational Templates

I removed the navigational template that had the "Academy Resources" bar in it. It was a good start, but when creating nav templates, you really want something that's like a Table of Contents for that area. Check out the one I have right now: Template:Academy. It's not centered, but I'll fix that later tonight. --Webmaster 16:31, 18 Aug 2004 (EDT)

If you keep it to the right it goes in nicly with all the articles--James Mckenzie 10:00, 19 Aug 2004 (EDT)

Pictures

First, pictures are not necessary at the beginning of a file. They were there in the main site's Academy area just to add some spice :) But here, we don't need them.

Also, when you're inserting a picture in a file, be sure to align it properly. If you don't have an "align" property, it'll just sit by itself. You can add "|right]]"/"|left]]"/"|center]]" directly after the image name, in the tag, to make the text flow around the picture. Also, head here and look up the "images" section to see other neat things you can do with images, like making thumbnails and such. --Webmaster 16:31, 18 Aug 2004 (EDT)

The align feature is really nice I did not know about if before. :) Also I understand about the pictures. --James Mckenzie 10:01, 19 Aug 2004 (EDT)

Categories

You can see what categories have already been created by going to: Special:Categories.

The trouble I'm having right now is trying to figure out how to break down the IC category. Into canon and non-canon? But really, what here is intended to be canon? This is supposed to be almost all non-canon UFOP: SB 118 things. :-\ So, I think that the best thing to do is not break it down any further into subcategories. --Webmaster 16:21, 19 Aug 2004 (EDT)

Should the academy area be broken into categories or not? --James Mckenzie 19:32, 19 Aug 2004 (EDT)

Re-Create Main Menu

I have set up the main menu and moved it to the main page. I hope that is all right. What is everyone's comments about the new Main page? Any suggestions?

Also how often should we change the featured article?
