Figure 5: Upload Popup

You can either add images from your computer or ones from the web. To add an image from your computer click on the ‘upload icon’ indicated in the image above. A new window will pop up, and at the bottom of this window you will be able to ‘Browse’ for your image, and ‘Upload File’. In order for your site to load smoothly for visitors, it is best to keep images under 50kb. Please see the Photo Compression tutorial for instructions on how to compress images.

Once you have uploaded the image, you can find it on the filename list (it will be highlighted in green) and click on the ‘add’. The link for this image will appear in the ‘Image URL’ field. It is a good idea to also add a brief Image description before clicking ‘Insert’ to add your image to the page. Remember to click ‘Submit’ at the bottom of the edit page to confirm your changes.

To add an image from the web, click on the ‘tree icon’ and enter the URL for the image in the ‘Image URL’ field. Click “Insert” to add the image.

To adjust the appearance of an image that you’ve added to a page, you can click on the image while in the Edit window, and then click on the tree icon. Click on the ‘Appearance’ tab in the popup window, and then you will be able to set things like the Alignment of the image, the size, and how much space you’d like around the image. (Entering 10 for the Horizontal and Vertical Space will give you a nice space around your image.) Click ‘Insert’ at the bottom of the window to save your changes.

Using the ‘Content page’, you can go directly to the page you want to edit. You can filter the posts in several different ways. Click on ‘Administer’ in the sidebar of your site to access the Content page under ‘Content Management’.
