Step 1: Open your Article to Edit it
Open the list of articles and click on the name to open the article in edit mode.

- Click the Image Button in the Tool bar


- This will open a Image Manager Dialog

- From here you can either select existing images or add new ones, we are going to upload some more pictures for this article.
- Click this button in the far right of the Dialog
, in the middle right above "Details" Header


- Select the File and repeat adding each file 1 through 6 in this example.
- You will see the files show up in the Queue. When you are ready Click the Upload and Wait for each file to upload.

- You can cancel if you want, also check you have the right option selected in the "Action if file exists"
- When it is done Click Cancel or the "X" in the upper Right to close the Dialog
- You will now be able to Select the Image you want to insert in your Article by Selecting it in the middle Section
- You might need to click the Image more than once, it should fill in the upper portion of the form with the Dimensions and URL

- CLick or Double clike again to get it to fill in the Info, or click the
in the far Right "Details" section to fill in the Image info in the upper part of the form.

- You can then click the "Insert" and it will put the image where your cursor was in the article. You can click the image and click the
again to edit the image size by changing the Dimensions.
- NOTE: if you leave the "Proportional" checked you only need to adjust one dimension, it will fix the other one. I normally just adjust width.
- Click the "Apply"
button in the upper right to save the Article without closing it.

You can repeat the steps as necessary a couple warnings.
- Do not upload huge files, you might need to edit them with a Image Program like "Piccsa, Photoshop, ...." to reduce there size before uploading them. I normally reduce them to less than 100 dots per a inch. You want the file to be as small as possible without looking bad. The extra resolution is only necessary when printing and will kill your website performance.
