    image properties
  • The Insert/Edit popup has several necessary steps
    • Image URL: Allows you to link to an image on the web, or click the icon after it to browse for an image to upload/use
    • Image Description: Is REQUIRED, used for ADA compliance to describe the image to a sight-impaired visitor.
    • Image Title: Not required, often just a copy of the description
  • Click on the "browse" button to the right of the Image URL line. From here you could either use an image that is already in the system, or upload a new one. We will be uploading a new image.
  • In this popup you have two options "Upload" and "Upload and Edit".
    • It is always best practice to edit your image before uploading it to the web. 
    • Upload selects an image as-is for uploading, and is the option you should use primarily.
    • Upload and Edit would allow some small adjustments to an image - cropping, for example. It does not include enlarging, sharpening, brightening, or other editing tools.
  • Click Upload. You will get a "success" message when the operation is complete.
  • You will then need to scroll down the list of available images to select the one that you have uploaded. Click on the file name, and then click "Select File".
  • Type in a description
  • Click on the Appearance tab  to set any appearance options you choose (border, spacing, alignment). 

    image appearance properties
  • Click OK
  • Your image now appears on your page. You can click on an image and drag it to move it up and down the page. In the Preview tab, the photo will look "missing". That's beacause the photo is not published until you publish the page. (Make sure the box is checked for including dependencies).
