Using Images |
||
A graphic element on a page adds balance and makes it eye catching. Your site comes stock with a library of images and "jelly buttons" that you can use, but you can also add your own images via the File Library. To add your own image to your content...
- In the Content Editor,
click the image icon
in your toolbar.
- You're presented with a list of files (if any) that you've uploaded to
your site. Click the file you want to insert into your page.
-
If you need to upload an image to your site, click the Upload Image tab to do so.
- A preview of the image appears in the box on the right. Verify that
the image is indeed the one you want to insert. If you need to adjust the
image preview so that it's smaller or larger, you can use the zoom buttons
above the image preview. If you're unsure which button is which, just
hover your cursor over each button for a description of how it zooms.
Options are:
- Best Fit
- Actual Size
- Zoom In
- Zoom Out
-
Type a short description of the image into the Image Alt Text field. This description appears whenever viewers hover their cursor over the image and can improve your search engine ranking (when combined with other techniques in your site) as search engines can read this text.
- Finally, click Insert to place the image into your page.
Once an image is in your web page, of course, you may also want to do some of the following things:
- Click the Hyperlink Manager icon to add a link into the image.
- Click an image and then press DEL on your keyboard to delete it.
- Click one of the image handles and drag it across the screen to resize the image as it appears in your page.
- Create a thumbnail (miniature version of the image) for the image by clicking the Image Manager icon and using the Thumbnail button.
