Before you can add an image / pdf to an article, you need to upload it to your site. All media (images & documents) are stored in the website's MEDIA MANAGER. This tutorial will provide you with the steps on how to add media to the MEDIA MANAGER.

 

PLEASE NOTE: Do not upload large images/pdf's  &  NO Capitals, Symbols or Spaces in the title of each image/pdf (e.g. my-title)
* Keep your PDF documents to a max 2Mb

* Images should not be larger than 640px X 640px (Open your image in Microsoft Office Picture Manager > Resize > Choose WEB LARGE > SAVE. REMEMBER - when you save it, it will save over the original image. If you want to keep the original, save the image under a different name / folder)
