Uploading Inline Images on Content Pages

This video shows you how to upload an image from your desktop for use on regular Content Pages (About Us, etc)

Notes / Highlights:

  •     When adding images, you can uploading a new one from the desktop, or select one that is already uploaded to the system.
  •     After uploading the image, set the width to 500px.  The height will auto-adjust accordingly.
  •     If you want your images to stack (without any text flowing between the images), then place the images at the very top of the body field, before any other content.

FAQs

How can I go back and edit an event that I already created in the EVENTS page but does not link to a page?  Like the Day the Earth stood still event?

There are two ways to edit content, via the frontend and via the admin menu.
For content that is not editable via the frontend (like the event you mentioned), please use the admin menu method.

To do this, in the admin menu, click on "Content"
This will show you all content in the system.
You can then use the filters to narrow down your search.  For example select "Event" for Type, or enter in a part of the title into the "Title" field.
Then press the "edit" button to get to the edit page.
