Creating image maps require images that have an PNG extension. JEPG do not work. So any JEPG maps you want to use to make an image map with will require you to convert it to PNG image. Here is how:

Windows Paint
First, you need to open a free program that comes with your Windows program call Paint. Click on the windows icon in the very lower left hand corner of your monitor. On the menu, scroll down and click on "Windows Accessories." On this menu, click on "Paint." That will bring up a work page with a large edit box.

Bring up image map
On the upper left hand corner click on "File." Then click on Open from the menu. This should bring up the page on your computer where you have the map stored you want to work with. If not, you need to find the location where the map image is stored. Click on that map image and it will appear in the work box.

Converting map image
Click on "File" again. Then click on "Save as form the menu." Give it whatever name you want it to appear as in our data base and then type .png right after your name. Click Save and it should appear in your computer with a PNG extension. You can now upload this map image with its PNG extension into the Wiki and use it for creating your image map.
