This section covers images that are uploaded to a web page, through the File Manager (folders holding images and files for website display).

NOTE: When making a post (blogs, articles, news, etc) using the form upload, images are uploaded directly from your computer and do not require formatting using instructions in this section.

The File Manager contains folders, added by the website manager, to allow images (and files) to be uploaded to your web pages. Make sure all images are uploaded to a yellow folder. If needing to change an existing image, ensure the image is renamed before upload, otherwise the website will read it as the same unchanged image).

Sizes are a guide only and individual websites may have slight variations. Check 'Your Notes' if your site has custom features.
