When you click on the
"Insert Image" button this box will appear on
your screen. The following steps allows you to upload,
insert and list
pictures / images in your website:
1. First you
will need to upload the picture before you can insert it
into your webpage. Simply click on the
"Upload" button to browse your computer and select the picture / image
you wish to upload from the files on your hard drive.
2. Once you select the picture / image you are
uploading you will see a dialog box with a field called
"Note". This allows you to name that image for
your website. Once you name it you can click on the
"Press" button to upload the picture / image to
your website's directory. Please note that the following
necessary in order to have the system recognize the file
your are uploading.
All file
names must be in lower case and no spaces in the names.
Here are some examples:
Wrong: my picture
MyPicture.jpg
mypicture.JPG
Right: my_picture.jpg
mypicture.jpg
my-picture.jpg
In the Note
field , as mentioned in # 2, you can name the file or
image whatever you wish without the .jpg or .gif
extension. This is just a notation and not a file name.
Images should be small in physical size and under 100k in
data size. The ideal size would be around 24 to 70 kb. or
less if possible. A good physical is no larger that a
standard photograph on the high side. Ideally it should
not exceed approximately 250 to 300 pixels.
It is also a good ideal to use thumbnails which could be
around 100 to 150 pixels in size.
You can then link the thumbnail image to the larger image.
Acceptable image formats are .jpg and .gif. Other formats
for video and audio such as .mpg, .avi, .wav and .mid are
acceptable. If these files are not recognized on your site
please let us know.
3. Adding the pictures to the
page in the editor. Simply click on the "Insert Image" button again. You
will want to click on the "Align" box and then
select how you want to align the picture you are about to
insert. Note: It may be best to select "middle" simply
because it centers the image in the center of the field.
If you have a group of images on top of each other and
want them to be aligned on the left then select align left
to achieve this and so on.
4. Now you are ready to select and insert the image /
picture you have uploaded. Simply select the image from
the selection pull-down box and click on the "Insert"
button to add the picture to the page. If you wish you can
add a short sentence in the "Alt Text" field to give your
graphic an extra description to the viewer on the web. Try
it!
5. The next step is to click on the "Refresh Page" button
at the bottom of the page to see the image on the page. If
it is what you want and you are happy with the way it
looks then you can move on to step 6. Or you can continue
on and add additional images and text etc. until you are
finished with the page.
6. The final
step. Save your work to the web. To do this simply click
on the "Update Site" button at the bottom and it is now
live on the web.
