How can you reduce the size of pictures on the WA blog?
Thanks in advance :-)
Margaret
Once you have uploaded an image, and cropped it,, you can then post to blog..
The image may seem huge,, no worries, click the image to add a frame around it. This can be used to adjust the size, the smallest is a default setting that appears to be a thumbnail size.

Rudy, when I clicked the image, no frame appeared. I wonder if there's a certain place I need to be clicking it. Or is it because I'm on a desk top?
Thanks for your help!
Resizing the image is easier to do ON a desktop.
Tap the image twice quickly. That might do it.
I have had to do that, on occasion, while adding an image to a post on WordPress.
If the frame appears, there will be a small square in the bottom right corner of the frame. Grab that corner to resize the image.
There should be a visible format heading to allow you to set the image at left, center and right positions.
Once in place, click anywhere off of the image to set in place.
Hope that works.

Hey Margaret,
Don't forget to check out the many tutorials here on WA. See screen print below...
If your new with the search option at WA, the following videos may offer you the help you seek: Using Wealthy Affiliate's 2020 Search Textbox for Training Bookmarking Posts, Training, etc, and How to Find Later Hope you find this helpful
When I am posting here on WA blog posts I have only moved my image up or down to include the portion of the image that is relevant to the standard size allotted for my posts. The theme that I have may also play a role in how my header image looks but I have not looked into resizing. Instead I go to http://pixel.com and find a more zoomed out version of the type of photo I wish to display and post that instead.
Rev, I understand what you mean by moving images up and/or down. My issue with this method is that I have one large image that would be meaningless to what I've written if I did this.
I went to http://pixel.com but I'm not understanding how to use it. The picture below is what I got when I went.
Thanks for your help :-)
My apologies, go to pexel.com the main page has a search bar in the center of the screen. type in the kind of photo you are looking for. For example: ball in road, running, or waterfall. click the search button then scroll through the photos. if you link one you select the download arrow at the bottom of the image free. some images are labeled 20% off those are the ons for sale. the rest are free.
Fir a WA post for the community you can just look for the corners and pull them in.
If you are referring to image dimensions and a featured image on your posts, that is controlled by your theme.

I just learned a valuable lesson here on this. If you use another plugin, I have found that it made my images so small that they were no longer readable and I had to disable and reupload the images. I am going to review some of the ideas here again but I need to find a good way to shrink the images. Thanks for asking.

I'm preparaing to join an affiliate program, and the following are questions being asked that I don't understand. Can someone please explain these questions for me? Thanks in
Hi
In addition to what others have said, you can always google the questions, check options to learn more.
If me, I would want to learn more.
It is normal to be cautious.
Hope this helps.
Abie, thanks for your advice. I don’t know why I didn’t think to google those questions! You have a wonderful suggestion 😊
Margaret
If you want to be strictly an affiliate marketer and marketer others products and not your own and you don't pay for Ads. The answer is NO to your questions.
Don't overthink things. :) Just answer to the best of your ability and understand that more often than not, if you don't understand what the question means or you don't understand the tools the question is referencing then the answer to the question is no.
Thanks, Eric. I guess I’m kind of nervous about possible legal ramifications, so I was just being cautious.
Margaret
No need to be worried. :) And whenever I get a question online I don't know the answer to I just go straight to Google myself :)

Is there a way to label photos in a site?
Thanks in advance for your help :-)
You may have to go into Canva and create a new print with the caption that you want and then load that to media. Then it will definitely show on your website.
Lily
Captions sounds like the media image filed you are talking about. If you add a caption to your image in the library, when you add media in your post the caption will be added too. You could try in a test post to see what it does.
Go into the media library, click on the image you wish to label. look to the right and there is a field where you can insert a caption.
Thank you, sir. What I'm talking about is something that will be visible on the content that people will see, and when I refresh what I have, there's nothing that I can see.
Okay, let me amend that. When I hold the mouse over the photo, I can see the caption I put. But I want it to be visible without the reader needing to do that.
You will need a graphic design tool; there are many options, but Canva is one of the easiest to use, and it's free.
Yeah, like when you see a photo on anything, like a book for example, and there's something (normally below the photo) that says what it is.

I'm doing a website on Easy Vegetarian Recipes. I'd like to know if I can use recipes from other sites as long as I give them credit. My idea is to insert a link into the con
Hi
You can research other peoples work however all content must be original written in your own words.
You may review below tutorial going forward Are You Copying Your Content or Using It for Reference? Hope this helps.
This can be done, friend. You can say this is a recipe from so and so, then you provide the link to give credit to the source.
It's nothing wrong with discussing the recipe on your website. You can make it sound like a review of the recipe as you write your storyline.
Your storyline could be for example: I think this recipe from so and so source is one of the best I've tried.
It'll look more like an entertainment of tastes from many sources.
You just have to be creative to make it not look like you're duplicating someone else's recipe and claiming it as your own. All the best!
Hi if you are discussing recipes that you have tried and you have let’s say an issue in taste, you can discuss in your own words and mention what you did to add extra ingredients or change the flavour. That should be fine but add a link to the original recipie. Don’t copy for the sake of copying otherwise Google will see it as duplicate content.
Yvonne, thanks--you've pretty much reinforced what I'd been thinking.
By the way, my middle name is Yvonne :-)
I don’t see our name much. Glad you were thinking on the same lines. Also I meant to add take some photos of the ingredients and what you substituted for another. And the final stage before eating. Videos are another great way.
You always need to keep an eye out for duplicate content. But I can't see how you can avoid it with a recipe. Best to change the introduction and exit paragraphs and give credit as you mentioned.
