The first question:
How do I add a picture from another site?
Thanksgiving
Photo Credit: Public Domain
First
Wait! I need the URL!
How do you find the URL of the picture you have chosen in the “Pic and Paint” page our our wiki?
Mac: right click on the picture and chose “copy image location.”
PC: right click — go to Properties — maybe to advanced — copy the URL and paste it to the top of you wiki or blog page. You will move it later
Second
Make sure you are in EDIT mode in the blog or wiki.
Click on HTML or SOURCE. In the blog, HTML is in the blue bar at the top of your edit box.
In HTML mode, add this code to the top of the page (you can move it later):
<img src=”picturelink.gif” alt=”hello” /></a>
Next, add your image URL information which you have already pasted at the top of the page in the FIRST step.
“picturelink.gif” is the URL — the image location — of your picture
“hello” is the label for the picture
THIRD
Click out of SOURCE or HTML and copy/paste the picture where you want it.
Fourth
If you want to position your image, click on the image to access the properties.
Choose LEFT if you want the image left of the text.
Choose advanced, and scroll down to add this information in the appropriate boxes:
Border: 5 Vertical: 5 Horizontal: 5
That creates a border and puts spaces all around the picture so the words you type won’t be cramped next to your image.
Fifth
Be sure to credit your image — cite where it came from, as in the photo credit above.
