The obvious extension of adding text to one webpage is adding text to two (or more) webpages. There are many ways to do this in Wnki. You can create a gallery of pages, you can create a serialized articles (such as this one) or you may insert pages directly into your website. All of these options are available to you. It's not a question of what you may do. It's more a question of what's next.

Since this is sort of a tutorial we shall proceed in the most direct fashion possible. In this case that means turning your welcome page into a kind of gallery and adding items to it.

Converting an existing page into a Gallery

Start by finding the "Inoculate" menu option somewhere at the top of an edit page. Every Wnki admin page has a full menu at the top of the screen. We do this so that you can bounce back and forth between functions without having to access a central menu all the time.

When you enter into the Inoculate page you'll notice the page title: "Convert a Page Into a Gallery or Catalog." You can deduce from this that the same Inoculation will for for either a gallery or catalog. And in case you're wondering the main difference between these two is: Gallery creates a detail page, Catalog does not create a detail page.

This page has a file list (same as PageEdit) from which you may select a file to inoculate. Locate and select index.html

After selecting the page you wish to make into a gallery type page you will need to select the type. For lack of any better option at the moment simply click on the "Make Into Select File" box and select Gallery. That should be the most straight-forward.

Click on the "Click to inoculate page" and all will be handled.

What does Inoculate do?

Inoculate converts a standard page into a Gallery type page by hiding some markup code and template information inside the page. This template information is used during the add item process to organize the new information on the page.

Adding an item to your gallery page.

Select Gallery from the top menu.

The next step is "Gallery Page Selection." You'll notice the now familiar file list. Click on the radio button next to index.html and press the "Click to access Gallery Options" button at the top and/or bottom of the page.

This will bring you to the Gallery Options page. There is much that can be done from here. There are seven things to do. Ignore six and just select the Add Branch option by clicking on the radio button to the left of the word Branch in the Add column. Trust us this will be best for the purposes of getting started.

Now click on the "Click to activate selected option" button. This will bring you to "Add New Branch to Gallery" page.

"Branch Id" becomes the name of the folder created for the new branch. Oops did we neglect to inform you that creating a branch also creates a new folder? Well it does. That is the nature of a Gallery branch. It's a folder beneath the current folder. So when you enter a "Branch Id" Wnki will create a new fold and create a new index.html file for that folder. It then creates a link from the Gallery page to that new file. As the name implies a branch leads somewhere else. It's not a leaf or twig. It's not a dead-end. A branch is a page on the way to a collection of other pages.

The significance of the other fields depends largely on which inoculation form you selected. You can take a look at "Gallery Forms" if you like. Or, you may just fill in all the fields in this test to see what happens.
