Embedded Images, Topics, Share and Thumbnails
Embed an Image
Embedded images are secondary supporting images within the text of a news story. Embedded images should be added after placing and formatting the text of the news story.
Let's embed:
- Place the cursor before the first character of fragment of text at the approximate place the photo should appear.
- Find and click the ‘E’ button in the Body textfield formatting toolbar
- From the ‘Select Media to Embed’ pop-up window, click the ‘Upload’ tab
- Use the File selector to upload the file > click the ‘Place’ button > select ‘Image’
- A ‘Select media to embed’ pop-up window will display, add required display details here:
- Alternative text* (see below): describe the photo and it’s context in one sentence
- Name: a short descriptive name will make it easy to find in the media library
- A ‘Select media to embed’ pop-up window will display, add required display details here:
- Confirm the ‘published’ checkbox is checked
- Click the ‘Place’ button to move to the ‘Embed media’ pop-up window
- On the ‘Embed media’ pop-up window:
- Add a caption in the caption field
- Please do not add anything to the SVG Images Attributes unless you are adding an SVG image. You most likely are not adding an SVG image.
You will be returned to the main News Item entry screen and will see the image placed in the story
