 == How to Upload Images==
 Most images that you find on the internet are copyrighted, and can't be uploaded to the Crankshaft Coalition Wiki.
+However, you may upload your own images to the Crankshaft Coalition Wiki. Alternatively, if you are familiar with copyright laws, you may upload copyright-free images as well. For sources of copyright-free images, see the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Public_domain_image_resources Wikipedia public domain image resources page].
+Here's how to add an image to an article:
+#First, upload it to the Crankshaft Coalition Wiki. Click the "Upload file" link in the "toolbox" section on the left-hand side of the page. You'll then be taken to the image upload form.
+#You'll see a standard "Browse" or "Choose File" button. Click it, and then select the proper image from your computer.
+#In the "Destination filename" box, insert the new name for the file. Most likely, the image file was named something like DHC12345.jpg on your computer. Rename it to something more accurate and descriptive, like "headers.jpg"
+#In the "Summary" text field, include a brief summary of the image.
+#Click the "Upload file" button. Be patient, the image will be uploaded from your computer.
+#Once it's uploaded, you can reference the image in any article by typing <nowiki>[[Image:headers.jpg]]</nowiki>
+You can always practice on the [[practice page]].
