Inserting Images

Clicking the insert/edit image button will open the following window:

Click the image browse button

From here you can:

• browse for a new image on your computer and then click 'go' or
• choose a previously uploaded image and click 'select'

Once you have made your selection, just add an image description and click insert.

Top tip: Always try to use images that are already the correct dimensions.

Image Description

This is written into the code 'behind-the-scenes' and is used both by search engines and text readers (used by visually impaired viewers to read the site) so, although it is optional to include a description, it is highly recommended for obvious reasons.

Keep it short and simple and if it is more than one word, try to use keywords.

E.g. a landscape gardener may have a photograph of a garden they have created. The image description could be.... Photo of a water feature and patio in a landscaped garden

In most cases you will probably not need to edit the remaining options, however, they are:

Alignment - determines how images and text are aligned with each other.
Dimensions - You can manually edit the dimensions of your image, however we recommend using images that are already the correct size.
Border - Applies a border around the image, the border width should be determined in pixels. A preferred method of applying a border would be to use the attributes button.
Vertical and Horizontal Space - Sets a space or gap (in pixels) around the image. Again, we recommend using the attributes button.
