Inserting/Editing Images in an Article (Not Photo Gallery)

While editing an article, look for the icon 'insert/edit image' (it's hard to see clearly, but it looks like a small square picture, kind of blue-green).

When you click on the insert image icon, a new window will pop up.

To upload a new image to the website from your own computer, click on the upload icon. The upload icon is the middle icon right above the 'details' section. If you hold your mouse over the icon, it will say 'upload.' When you click on upload, another window will pop up, that allows you to browse for the image on your computer, and upload it to the site.

For all images on a website - remember that the smaller the image (in terms of kilobytes, not inches), the faster the page will load. If you have pictures you took with a digital camera, use image editing software when needed to reduce the file size to make it suitable for web posting.

Once an image is uploaded once, it is available to insert on any page of your site, you do not need to upload it again.

To insert an image that is already uploaded, click on insert/edit image, and navigate to the image using the folder and file list on the bottom half of the window. When you select an image, it will appear in the details section, and you can click 'insert' to add it to the article.

To change the parameters of an image in an article, select the image by clicking on it and click again on insert/edit image. You can change the alt-text (the text that appears if the picture does not load or is blocked by the user), the dimensions (it is best to use an image that is the dimensions you want, or edit it first in separate image editing software, rather than make large changes here in the dimensions), add a border, and change the alignment. The default alignment is on the left side of the article.
