			====== Changing Images Size ======
			To change your images size, go into source editor, locate where your file is imported in the editor; should be labeled as [[''File: ImageName.png''<nowiki>]]. After the file type, put in \| </nowiki>''(size you want) px.''

			It should look like this when added. '''EXAMPLE''': [[''File: ImageName.png \| 250 px''<nowiki>]]. </nowiki>

			After that, you're done! Press preview, at the bottom of the source editor, to see how it looks with the size.

			* You're welcome to change to whatever size you wish, but if you're unsure, the most common image sizes are: ''250 px'' or ''220 px''. All depends on how big your image is!
