Here is a few tips on how to use Wiki

__**A GREAT DISCOVERY TODAY**:__ Widgets.... The embed widget allows you to add lots of different formats of information. When you edit a page, alittle editor box appears at top. click on little blue ball like thing (sorry ) called Embed Widget and bingo, lots of stuff to insert. I have inserted a Google spreadsheet which I have given access to you all via the link. Look on Budget page.

Bisi, this one may help us create a list of pages...working on it

Need to first tag pages you want to add to page, then how many pages eg 10, 15,20 etc and save...
