Adding images to a post

Images grab the attention of your readers and helps them understand the contents of your post.

Directly above your post/page editor is your Add Media icon which you use to insert images, pictures, photos, photo galleries, videos, and audio files into your posts or pages.

You use the Add Media icon to add images to posts or pages by either:

  • uploading an image from your computer
  • linking to the location of an image on the internet
  • adding an image from your Media Library

How do you add images to your posts?

  1. From the post text editor, click on the add media icon which is located at the top of the editor. (Hover over an icon for information on its function).
  2. Drag and drop an image from your computer into the uploader or select and browse to the image. The maximum upload file size is 19MB.
  3. In the media options fields you can add a title, description, caption, resize or change the placement of the image.
  4. Click Insert into Post.

Please note: You cannot re-use every image you find in a Google search in your blog. You need to ensure that you are not in breach of copyright when using images. Check the individual sites for terms of use as these vary.
