Why can't I embed Javascript on this summer camp workspace?

As a writer, you can not embed any 'dangerous' code on this workspace.  On your own wiki, you can chose to embed java script by clicking the "Allow JavaScript and other potentially unsafe code"  You can learn more here.

I made my Homework Week 2 page and forgot to put it in the Homework Week 2 folder. I remade it and put it in the correct place. Could you please delet the Kathy F Homework Week 2 page that is in "Camp Resources"? Sorry for the trouble.

I noticed in the first video that the man did not select the allow Javascript option on the second part. What happens if this option is not selected? Thanks, Eric

I thought we could not move pages to folders because we are only writers. I am confused about this.

That's correct: As a writer, you cannot MOVE a page to a folder, but you can PLACE a page in a folder at the time that you create the page.
