To embed images, simply click Add Media, upload your image file to the Media Library and insert it into the post. You can drag the image to move it to a different part of the post. You should also attend to the size of the image and where it is situated in relation to your text.

  1. After adding Media, click on the image.
  2. You will see something that looks like this:
  3. You can decide whether to place it right, left or center of the page using the four rectangle buttons to the left. Use this to create text wrap with your images.
  4. Is your image too tiny or too huge? Click on the pencil and you will see something that looks like this:
  5. In the Display Settings section, you can do several things
      • Change the size your image displays (medium, large, thumbnail, original). Do this in the dropdown menu by “Size.”
      • Make it so when someone clicks on the image, it opens in a new window at the original size. Use this if you want to have a small image or thumbnail incorporated in the text of your post, but also allow the viewer to see it in greater detail if they want. Do this by selecting “Media File” from the dropdown menu by “Link To.”
      • Make it so when someone clicks on the image, it takes them to another website. Do this by selecting “Custom URL” from the dropdown menu by “Link To.”
