Placing an image on the website

How to place and image of yourself or artwork on the site

Share an image of your work or a portrait. It often helps people remember if a visual image accompanies a description.

Placing an image in an article, event, or opportunity

  • Click 'Edit this page' in the black bar at the top of the page.
  • Go to the camera icon and click 'Add an image'.
  • There are several ways to add a picture here. Click 'Browse' if you want to select an image from your own computer. After you've found the image, clicking the 'Add' button then places the image directly on the page.

  • You can also click on 'More Options'. If your image is on the internet paste the link to the isolate image and click 'Add' Or if you already added your image to the website you can find it by entering its title in the third editable field and click 'Search'.

  • Once the image has been added you can move its location on the page. Keep the right-click on your mouse on the image pressed down and move the mouse till the image is in its desired location.
  • If you want to embed an image in the text you can place [[image 01 ]]in the body text “1” is the first image added to the page. When you want the third image displayed in the text you only need to change the “1” by a “3”.
  • Click 'Save this page' to save the image.

Adding other information and tagging people in the image.

  • The image you added has its own page. Once you are out of the edit mode, you can access the image page by clicking on the image itself. On the image page click on 'Edit this page'. Then you can add extra information.
  • You can select an author by clicking the button '+Who made this?'
  • You can give the photo location information but clicking either the button 'Where was this picture taken?' or 'Place on map'
  • You can add a caption or body text that is specific for the image by clicking '+ caption' or '+ page body' This allows you to add more information about the image that makes it more interesting for a user, such as a story or idea that sprouted from the image.
  • If you want to replace the image go to the camera icon at the bottom of the page and click 'Replace image'. This lets you replace the current image on the project page
  • You can control the visibility of your image by clicking //Visible to:// in the menu bar at the top. Images are always set default to visible for everyone, but in the case you don't want everyone to see it you can change it here.
  • If you are the creator of the image, you can also attach specific rights to the image by clicking on 'copyright'. When selecting one of the Creative Commons options, you make clear to other people whether or not they may use the image.
  • If there are people in the image it is fun to tag them and let them know you've added a photo of them to the website. To do this click on the person in the image and enter their name in the blank field this will connect them to their picture.
  • Click 'Save this page' to save your changes.
