| The wiki pages in SharePoint 2010, and MOSS 2007 for that matter, are just html wrapped up in some SharePoint code to make the double bracket stuff work well. You can use Word as your editor to a blog, and do exactly what I am doing here to add pictures, boxes, tables, etc. in a way that is much more pleasing to the eye than working with the rich text editor that is built in to the wiki template. You won't need to upload a picture and then create that hyperlink. Doing it through a hidden blog will work wonders.
If you use Word as your blog editor, you will only see File, Blog Post, and Insert. Insert is your friend. I'll start with a picture of me. It was taken in Korea. Now the picture is pretty big. It is running off of the screen even. If you did the editing of your picture on the wiki without using Word, you would need to do a lot of manual editing. I am, however, using Word, so I'll just grab the corner and shrink it. Makes sense, right?
Before
Click on the corner and shrink.
One day, I can have my own organization with a hot secretary. You can put your SmartArt into the blog and subsequently into the wiki. Play with the colors and stuff too.
You can even use the Screenshot button in Word 2010 here to make the step-by-step processes much easier to capture by taking your screenshot, elaborating with a little text, and then doing it again.
If you really want to get freaky cool though, use a chart. I didn't bother to edit the data series, but just think of your possibilities. 
Don't feel like you are boxed in by SharePoint. Just think that you have a coloring book. Stay inside the lines, and I bet your picture will look better than the guy who tried to work on a blank canvas. Don't forget to use all of your other Microsoft Office products to help you with this too. You can embed pieces of a spreadsheet, a wicked cool Visio diagram. Small pictures of the slides in a slideshow with some text for training material and then a link to the slide show on the site for them to open and follow along. |
