Question: How do I put a picture on my web page? - Picture next to text
Answer:
You can put pictures (photos, clipart, or other graphics) within a rich text section anywhere on your web page.
Before uploading a large photo, it's best to resize it, because otherwise it will load slowly when people view the page. Choose a width of 300 pixels or less for picture that will appear next to text. To resize an image on a PC you can use the Paint utility. On a Mac you can use the Preview utility. See What size should an image be?
| Step | Instructions | Example or Picture | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Upload the picture to one of your albums. See How do I upload a picture to an album? | ||
| 2 | Add or edit a rich text element. |  |
|
| 3 | Type the text that will go above or below the picture. See How do I edit the text on one of my web pages? |
 |
|
| 4 | Put the focus (insertion bar) at the start of the line or paragraph that the picture should be next to, in front of the very first character. |  |
|
| 5 | Click the picture icon in the toolbar. |  |
|
| 6 | You will see the Select an Album page. Click the album that contains the picture you uploaded, e.g., Clipart, Photos, or another album you've created. |  |
If you change your mind, click the x in the top right corner. |
| 7 | You will see the pictures in the album you selected. Click the one you want. |  |
If you change your mind, click the x in the top right corner. |
| 8 | You will see the picture you selected and some picture settings. Click Fixed size to see the image's width and height. If the width is bigger than what should be displayed, enter a smaller Width number. 100 to 300 may be a good choice depending on the width of the column. School Loop will automatically adjust the Height. Since there's text around the picture, set the Horizontal Padding and Vertical Padding to 10. Set the Align drop-down box to Left (to put the picture to the left of the text) or Right (to put the picture to the right of the text). |
 |
Choose Right if the text line or paragraph has bullets. School Loop doesn't format pictures properly to the left of bullets. |
| 9 | Click the Select or Update button. The picture will appear in your rich text element. |
 |
|
| 10 | If the appearance is wrong (picture too small, too big, wrong position, etc.), right-click the picture, choose Edit, and change the settings. | Another choice is to click the picture so it highlights, press the delete key, and start over at Step 3. | |
| 11 | Click the Save & Exit button. |  |
|
| 12 | The text and picture will appear on your web page. | |
If you change your mind about having the rich text section, click the trash can icon. |
| 13 | To make the text and picture visible to site visitors, click the Publish button at the top of the page. |  |
If you change your mind you can click Cancel to discard all change you've made to this web page. |
