Did you know there's a Development Category? That's the area for pages that aren't ready for "prime time". Nothing will link to it except via the Development Category, which is filed under Category:Wiki Chores. Unless, of course, you want it everyone to see it. Up to you.

I updated the layout to look more presentable. The last 6 rules are under a "To be completed" heading, with the "Under Construction" template. This gives a more professional layout and encourages readers to view the first 4 rules. I left comments in the code (the wikitext that looks like this when you edit the page. --LadyGeek 23:40, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

YouTube.com Video
I reformatted the page to embed YouTube.com videos directly. The wiki has always been able to do this; it was just a matter of using tags around the code.

How to embed YouTube.com video in the wiki:
 * 1) Add first.
 * 2) Go to YouTube and copy-n-paste the video code into the next line.
 * 3) Add last.
 * 4) Select "Show preview" to confirm everything works, enter a "Summary" to document what you did, "Save page" when done.

Working example:
 *    
 *

Test Imbed
The following is a test imbed of wikinvest charts. These work the same way. Bracketing and tags around the wikinvest imbed code brings up the following current data chart for the Vanguard Emerging Market Index ETF:   Flash Player 9 or higher is required to view the chart Click here to download Flash Player now  <script type="text/javascript">if (typeof(embedWikichart) != "undefined") {embedWikichart("http://charts.wikinvest.com/WikiChartMini.swf","wikichartContainer_2D90AACB-9A11-953E-C3DC-B289B387B1B6","400","400",{"embedCodeDate":"2010-10-15","partner":"wikinvest","rollingDate":"5 days","ticker":"AMEX:VWO","showNewsIcons":"true"},{});} View the full VWO chart</a> at Wikinvest</a> --Blbarnitz 01:04, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

The tag tells the wiki to use html instead of wikitext. I remembered that the Table of contents is written in pure html code and decided to try it for YouTube. It worked! I think this can apply to the main page investing news - use "live" links instead of manual updates. Some experimentation is in order (with the development page). I'll take a crack at it. --LadyGeek 01:55, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Investor Education
The embedded videos are the result of questions raised at the BH 9 Q&A panel. I started this thread: Investor Education - Bogleheads' 9 Follow-up. The hope is that the wiki can be used for video tutorials. --LadyGeek 01:45, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
