== Getting Started ==
=== Add Podcast Episode Information to Wiki ===
* Find new episodes of [https://art19.com/shows/the-portal The Portal Podcast].
* Create a page for the podcast episode. Here's the list of [[All Episodes]]. Edit the page and add the newest episode there. Let logic lead you down the path.
* Put the description paragraph at the top of the document. (You may be tempted to put a heading above the intro paragraph called "Description". Resist this temptation. If you put that heading, the Table of Contents will be put at the very top of the document. This will make the "next" and "previous" navigation hard to find.)
* Add the thumbnail using the format of [https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dQw4w9WgXcQ/maxresdefault.jpg this URL]. All you have to do is change the YouTube ID in the URL to get the large thumbnail for any video. Look at how the other pages do this and copy that to the new page.
