  • A Gallery

    This is an area which seems to trap unsuspecting first time users. Type /g to get the wizard up and read carefully. No need to add images twice, they can be used and reused again and again. Make sure you render the images at Large or Full size to avoid pixel scarcity. Add or remove pictures later.

    But there’s nothing to stop you adding further content below or above for context and elaboration.

    Image Management

    Many website users struggle with images, even those that have managed a website for years. Here’s some straightforward things you can do to make your photo publishing weblife easier.

    The image block is easy to use as is the gallery block. If you must combine text and images and want it to look the part use a pattern. Simply start a new para and /im will get the image block up.

    In the world of classic editing creating anything complicated become quickly very hard. Now it is easy enough to take a ready made block pattern and adapt it to your needs. But most of time just using a featured image (as shown above) will do.

    Avoid using classic unless you are desperate for the limited retro editing experience.

Regulators and economists seem to overlook this.
