Insert an Image on a Page

Put an image into the text of your Home, Bio or any other page, or into a gallery or image description, using the content editor.

Before you start: the image must be in your Image Library. Upload One Image and Put It in Galleries shows how. You do not need to put it in a gallery.

  1. Open the page, such as Bio in the Pages menu, and click in the text box where the image should go.

  3. The Image Browser lists the images in your Image Library. Select Normal or the picture itself to use the largest copy that fits a 600 by 600 pixel square, which suits most pages. Select Original only for a very large image, because the full-size file loads slowly.

  4. The image's address appears in URL. Type a short description of the picture in Alternative Text. People who cannot see the image have it read to them, and search engines use it.

  5. Optional: to make the image open a web page when someone clicks it, select the Link tab and type the full address, starting with https://, in URL. Under Target, choose New Window (_blank) to open the page in a new tab.

  6. Select OK. The image appears in the text, and the Width and Height boxes in Image Properties can resize it later. Keep the padlock between them closed so the picture does not stretch.

The image is on your page. To put words beside it, see Wrap Words Around an Image. To change it for a different image later, see Replace an Image in a Page.
