Saving Maps to your network Drive
Saving your files to your network drive is easy, and very similar to saving your files to My Documents
1.) Choose File and then Save As
2.) From here, choose the H Drive.
3.) Now choose the folder titled public_html
4.) Choose a file name, and then click save as.
Your file is now saved in your personal webspace!
Linking to your Map from within Wiki Media
1.) Click the Link Button from within the Wiki Editor. (This button looks like a globe.)
2.) You will now see the following on your screen.
[http://www.example.com link title]
2.) Replace http://www.example.com with http://userid.people.wm.edu/map title where userid is your 5 digit William and Mary user id and Map Title is the file name you used when you saved your map above. Remember to include the extension, such as .pdf for pdf files.
3.) Replace Link Title with the Map Name as you want it to appear on your Wiki Site.
Make your Map a PDF File
I recommend that you post your most important map files as pdf files, since not everyone who visits your wiki site will be able to view arc GIS files. To do this, simply click "File" and then choose "Print." From here, change your printer to Adobe PDF. To do this from your personal computer, you can download a free program from the William and Mary IT website. Click here for more information.
