Adding FreeMind MindMaps to this site

The freely available software freemind is used to create mindmaps.

 

If its data files are attached to a piece of MindMap content on this web site, then the resulting mindmap will be shown.

 

To do this first login, then go to Create Content -> MindMap. Give your MindMap a title, type something descriptive in the body. Then go to File Attachments, and use that to upload your Freemind data file.
