Post questions that you have here (technical or otherwise) having to do with our Wiki Project and I will try to answer them.
Embedding videos and other media into Wiki Pages
There are two ways to do this. When you are in the edit mode, select "insert Plugin." Under PBwiki Magic, you can select insert HTML. Under Video you can select add a YouTube video. You would then paste the embed information for the video or slideshow or whatever you want to include. You should experiment and see which method works best for the particular media you want to include.

I tried your advice for embedding the slideshare show I've been trying to get into the Presentation Zen page. It still does not work. Somehow Deanna got one into the page but the one I am trying to get in just won't load, that is why I put the link in there instead of the actual slideshow. Any other suggestions?

I re -created a page because I could not change it's title. I want to delete "Everyone is a Media Outlet -Chapter 3" as I've replaced it with "Everyone is a Media Outlet" Apparantly the wiki would not accept the first title and I could not put it in the "Writing in the Digital Age Folder." So to try and fix this I redid the page, titled it so it would be accepted, but now I can't delete the original page. I went to "help" and it told me what to do, but when I follow the steps to delete the page, the options that are supposed to be there to delete the page are not available. Do I need special privledges to do this?

I want to add Laurens "Collaborative Production" page to the "Here Comes Everybody" page. Help says to go to all pages, then drag the page into the new folder. I try that and it won't move. Anybody know how to do this?
