No matter if you want to add your images as you are creating the post or after you have written all the content and add your pictures last. You need pictures for visualization.

First thing to do is make sure that your cursor is placed in your post in the area that you will want to put the image.

While you are in SiteContent you want to click on the media button. It is right beside the abc checker.

Once you have clicked on the image box, it will bring up a search bar that allows you to type in the the type of image you would like to use.

Below is a picture showing you how it works. I have searched "adding images" so that it fits this tutorial.

Once you have found a image you would like to use, you need to click on it. This will bring up another box where you will need to crop the image. You can click on the white boxes or the white lines to crop.

When cropping your picture you want to have an arrow and not something that looks like crosshairs or something to that effect.

If you try to crop with the crosshairs it will just move the cropping box around. Unless you only want part of the picture cropped then in that case you can just grab the box and put it on the part of the picture you want cropped.

Very useful Lee, one comment if I may, when I use WA blog and insert a picture, I have to remember to move the page up, otherwise I cannot see the insert button as it is hidden by the picture which usually means starting again Just a thought

Edwin,
I didn't include adding images to W A blog/post. Maybe I should have huh?

I just see many new members that have questions about adding images to there post and thought I would just create training to show them how.

Creating the training took longer than I thought because adding the images for it was a little different as well.

I believe I can go in ad edit the training and add "Adding Images To W A Blog?Post". Might be a couple of days until I can do it.

Thank you for your "thought". It is definitely a good one.

Thank you very much Jangle.
I am really hoping that it will help some new members and maybe relive some of their stress when it comes to adding images.

Xavier,
Thank you.
It is like the saying goes "A day late and a dollar short". : )

Hopefully it will be able to help someone out there in W A land.
Sorry it wasn't in time for you.

In all seriousness, can you think of an issue that you may have had when adding images that I might have missed?

Like Edwin brought up there difference when you add images to a post/blog on our W A profile. Which I will be adding to the training at some point.
