Adding photos to a discussion post or blog entry can help you sell or rent a costume, illustrate a point, or simply create some visual interest. There are two ways to add photos in the Community and this post will cover both. This is also how you can embed screenshots, graphs, clip art, etc.
First, you must have a new blog entry or discussion post open. Type any text you have, find the location where you want to insert a picture and select either of these options:
Regardless of which button you choose, a pop-up window will appear. Select the "find file" icon to retrieve a picture saved to your computer.
Choose “Upload” to view the files on your computer and choose a picture.
Click on the "Add files" button to select your photos or images.
After you select your file(s), you should see them in the window. Click "upload."
Add a description if you'd like, then choose "Ok."
Depending on the size of the picture you are using, it may appear too large to fit into your post. Scale it down by grabbing the corner and dragging it towards the center of the picture until it becomes the size you need.
When your picture is perfectly sized, post away!
As always, don't hesitate to contact me if you need further assistance with these tasks or have any other questions. You can reach me through the Community or by email at gbutsch@schooltheatre.org.
