I will now select an image from Pixabay.com. Note this fox looks pretty passive! I won’t edit this one and may in fact decide not to use it. But for information purposes it’s not a bad one.


Now I am going to find this within SiteContent. There are some advantages to doing it this way.

Lo and behold you get the same image. This is because the Wealthy Affiliate team searched out as many free images as possible to put in this facility. And for the big advantage, when searched like this it is already compressed.

Hi Helen,

You are ahead of me. I have not attempted to combine images yet. I will have to try your steps here. Thanks.

I just use my own or use those from Site Content. I will share my method here for easy image use in case anyone wants another option.

I write my posts directly in Wordpress so it's a little different.

1) Write post in Wordpress on my site.

2) Find an image I want to use in Site Content.

3) "Save and Insert" the image there on Site Content (blue button at the bottom of the screen).

4) After you "Save and Insert", right click on the image and choose "Save Image As" and save it to your computer (or wherever you want).

5) Back in Wordpress, click the "Add Media" button or the "Set Featured Image" button. Find the image where you saved it and import it.

If you write your posts in Site Content then it is even easier.

Optional: I also send the image out to http://Tinypng.com before uploading it to my post to further compress it. This is not always necessary but it usually saves more space and that is beneficial for site speed. Just find http://Tinypng.com and follow the very simple instructions to upload the image then send it back once it is compressed.

You are very welcome Bob. I tend to do a lot of fiddling with images so I did have to be careful to not get too complicated.

Hey Elaine, how are you today. I must say I do enjoy doing these but I also tend to get myself quite convoluted. I think this came out fine though.

If you use the Site Content editor and add an image, there is an option for uploading your image manually. I've used it many times with no problems.

As per my Smell the Roses image, you can see I love modifying images to personalise them. I always compress and then upload them manually.
