Not sure how to add it? It's really not that difficult. This handout, which includes some screenshots, will show you that it's eeeeeeeeeeeeesy!! : [|adding a video clip.doc] **Creating a subpage**   <span style="-moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous; -moz-background-origin: padding; background: #edf7e3 none repeat scroll 0% 0%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 15pt;">  Without subpages, the index/table of contents on the left-hand side will become very long. What you see on the left are only the main topics. With subpages, you can make the pages smaller and more focused. For example, "writing skills": there are several different topics and some of them are hidden on their own page but all the pages are linked. There is one main page for the different types of writing skills. Most areas have their own separate page. Here's how to do it: [|Creating Subpages.doc]. These details came from "Wikispaces" in an e-mail. <span style="-moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous; -moz-background-origin: padding; background: #ffffff none repeat scroll 0% 0%; display: block; font-size: 11.34pt; text-align: left;">
