Adding pictures to your blog post
Please see instructions about adding a new post if you need help getting to this point.
To add a picture to your post you need to click on the first icon (hover over if unsure, will display "Add an image" message)
Note that there are three options to add an image:
- From your computer
- From URL
- Media Library (a picture previously used)
Adding a picture from your computer:
Choose "Select Files"
- Locate the picture that you want to add on your local machine
- Select "Open" to load the picture
When the picture has loaded you will see this screen:
I recommend giving your picture a description and alternate text, this is both a professional and search-engine friendly practice.
The LINK URL is where the reader will go when they click on your picture, by default it will go to the full-size version of the image, if you don't want this to happen, leave this field blank.
Choose how you want your image aligned
Select what size you want the image to appear in your post, ie thumbnail
Select "Insert into Post" to return to your post, complete with new image inserted.
HINT: Optimise your images for web BEFORE adding to your post. Why? Because nothing will annoy your readers more than waiting forever for your images to load!
