The article explains how to add a photo to your article.

  • First position your cursor where you want to insert the photo.
  • Click on the button right above the edit area that has a little green tree in it. The insert article image dialog will popup.  
    • There are lots of options and properties you can play with but to start out, keep it simple.
    • At the bottom under ‘Folders' pick a location to store your photo. For example, if you are writing a trip report, select trip_reports. For a news article, select news.
    • Next, click on the button with the green up arrow into a computer. The button is in the center on the right next to the ‘?' button. (As with most buttons on the web, hovering your mouse over them will tell you what they do, in this case ‘Upload').  
    • Click this Upload button and browse to your photo file.
    • Enter a name that makes some sense and click Ok.
    • The file will be Uploaded and may take a few minutes depending on your upload speed connection. (If your file is too big you will need to reduce it using a photo editor before uploading). The filename should show up bottom center with the name you selected.
    • Finally click on the filename. A thumbnail with properties will show in the bottom right. Press the Insert button. The photo will be placed into your article.
  • Resize the photo by clicking on it and then grabbing the little white boxes (handles) and dragging them to resize.
  • That's it! Click ‘Save' or ‘Apply' to save your work.
