Images - add individual pictures to a page
With page Edit On click the Picture button. You will then be presented with a number of options:
- Title - give your picture a brief but descriptive title
- Picture - use this to upload your image
- Description - if you wish to add a caption to your image, type it here
- Show description - sets whether your description text is displayed on the page
- Style
- Size - Small, Medium and Large sizes are pre-set by the styling of your site. It's always advisable to choose one of these (usually Medium) unless you have a specific reason you wish to display the image at its Original size. Bear in mind that images will be scaled up/down depending on the device used to view your page (smartphone, tablet, desktop etc.)
- Alignment
- Default/Align Left - puts the image on the left of the page and does not allow other content to flow around it
- Align Centre - puts the image in the centre of the page and does not allow other content to flow around it
- Align Right - puts the image on the right of the page and does not allow other content to flow around it
- Float Left - puts the image on the left of the page and allows other content to flow around it to the right
- Float Right - puts the image on the right of the page and allows other content to flow around it to the left (generally the best option to use)
- Clear Left - adds image to the left of the page and does not allow any floated content to the left of itself
- Clear Right - adds image to the left of the page and does not allow any floated content to the right of itself
- Clear Both - adds image to the left of the page and does not allow any floated content around itself on either side
- Link
- Link to page - use the page picker to link your image to a page on your own site
- or External Website - type the full url of an external site you wish your image to link to
- or Original Image - if you have added your image as one of the pre-set sizes you can use this option to let people see the original-sized image when they click
- Additional options
- Alternative text - good accessibility practice to add, this should be a brief description of the image (ideally different from/more descriptive than the title). It is used by screen-readers and will also be displayed if for some reason your image fails to load
- Parent page position - the place on the page where your image will be added
