How do I include an image in the body of my post?

In order to make your post a little snazzier, how about adding images right in the body of the text:

 To do this:

1. Be sure "enable rich-text" is clicked below the "Body" field of the post.

2. Click on the "add-image" icon that is below the "Body" field and above "enable rich-text": add-image icon This will open a new window.

3.  In the new window, you will see a list of available images that you have access to in the site's image databse. You can select one of these images or add to the databse.

    a. To add a picture to the database: click ""add image" at the top of the window. Add the title of the picture. Under "Insert:" click browse and locate the picture you would like to add, click "Open". Fill out the rest of the form (appropriate categories, Public/Groups, etc). Click "Submit". You should then see your photo's title on the list on the left column.

4. Click on the name of the picture file you would like to add. A preview of the photo will appear in the right column.

5. In the bottom screen, note the "Thumbnail" and "Original" options. Thumbnails provide small images whereas you can adjust the size of Originals.

6.  Click on the "Insert" button on the bottom of the window. The image should appear in the "Body" field. Note: If the picture comes out like this:

empty picture
 That does not necessarily mean it did not upload correctly. Before you submit your post, preview it to see if the images have come through.

 



 

 

 

Note: If you are using a picture that is online, it's best to save it to your computer "save to disk" before uploading it to the site.
