 ==== Before you upload ====
-Before you upload an image, it's best to get to the page where it will be used. This will make it easier for you, as you won't have to worry about which [[namespace]] it's in. If you want to upload while you are on this page, or anywhere else, you will need to know the namespace of the page you want to use it on. You can revise that from the [[namespace]] page.

 ==== The uploading process ====
 Here's what to do with the Media Manager.
-  - Open the Media Manager (in the spanner icon menu) {{spanner-icon.png}}. If you want to back out, that's easy, just go back on your browser, or click on the page name in the "Trace" at the top.
+  - Go to the page where you want to use the image or photo.
-  - Click on "Upload", just under the title, between "Media Files" and "Search".
+  - Open the Media Manager (in the spanner icon menu) {{spanner-icon.png}}.
-  - If you try that from this page, just underneath "Upload" it will say "Upload to **doc**". That's the [[namespace]] you will be uploading to. If you will be using the image in a different namespace, choose that namespace, on the left, and repeat from step 2 above.

     - either drag your photo file onto where is says "Select files…"  (it changes to "Drop files here to upload");
     - or click on "Select files…" and work through your file system to choose the file you want to upload.

 To use the image you have uploaded, you will write something like this on the page:
-`{{doc:nuts.jpg?200|}}`, which gives you this image:
+`{{nuts.jpg?200|these are nuts}}`, which gives you this image:
-{{doc:nuts.jpg?200|}}
+{{nuts.jpg?200|these are nuts}}
