Sample article with image, using WYSIWYG editor

jimthis is a sample article with an uploaded image. this image uses left alignment. I was able to upload the image first, get the URL, then insert the image, without resorting to SFTP. Note that the URL path is /jim (that's called a URL alias), so you can give stories/pages nice URLs. I used this image 'cause it was small & handy. Should have used a LOLcat or something...

Other changes I've made:

AP Institute and Workshop Calendar

AP Summer Institutes are organized, administered and conducted by individual institutions (typically colleges, universities or school districts) that have an agreement with the College Board to ensure quality and consistency, including the use of College Board-endorsed consultants and College Board materials. Decisions on offerings are made by individual institutions, not the College Board.

You can search by course, date, and location.

Changes for AP German

The AP Program is delighted to share with you information about changes underway in several AP courses and exams in history, science and world languages. These changes will help AP students develop deep conceptual understanding of their subject area and hone the 21st century skills they need to be successful in college.
