Using Images
One of the best ways to attract visitors to your church is through pictures on the website. The first step in adding a picture to the website is uploading it from your computer.
Complete the steps below to begin the process of displaying an image on the website:
There are 12 main folders available to store your image, document, and media files. Each folder has a special purpose. For example the Thumbnails Folder is used by the Calendar when setting categories. The Flash folder is automatically opened for you to choose a file when adding Flash content from the editor toolbar. This pattern holds true of all of the folders. This also helps to keep your site well organized.
To start uploading your files, you need be logged in. From the Welcome Menu, click the Image and File Management link.
